For over 60 years, Williams-Sonoma has been a go-to store for gourmet kitchenware, beautiful decor, and elegant gifts. It’s products or offerings have been in millions of people’s homes, but did you know there’s a place dubbed The Williams-Sonoma House?

Located in Glen Ellen, California, just an hour north of the company’s San Francisco headquarters, it used to be the residence of the late W. Howard Lester, who was long CEO and president of the company. Cheerful, charming, and perched amidst a lush NoCal landscape, it certainly reflects the Williams-Sonoma spirit and high-end quality. Now, the inviting home can be yours for a cool $9.25 million.

Nestled on over nine acres, the farmhouse-style home will attract a buyer looking to foster an enchanting lifestyle inside and out. The main living areas exude warm sophistication, but the real shining star is the kitchen. Outfitted in yellow custom cabinetry, the playful yet refined space holds top-of-the-line appliances and is huge for hosting. From there, French doors breezily open out onto a patio and ample land fit for diverse gardens. Vegetable beds and farm-to-table living, whether the new owner is an avid cook or employs a private chef, are practically a must here.

In terms of the private spaces to retreat to, they can be found in the main home or in the additional guest cabin. Many of the bedrooms feature vaulted and beamed ceilings, adding another layer of elegance and charm to the 6,000 square feet of interiors.

Whether it’s relaxation you’re after or hosting marvelous dinner parties, the opportunities are endless here. Though, sadly, a Williams-Sonoma lifelong discount will not come with the deal.

Daniel Casabonne and Gina Clyde of Sotheby’s International Realty share the tasteful listing.
