"One Small Step from the Sonoma Plaza."
- Close to everything. Miles from ordinary -
You don’t have to go to space to feel weightless.
But it helps to come home to the right place.
Rusty Schweickart went to space. Apollo 9. Lunar Module Pilot.
He tested the system that kept astronauts alive on the Moon.
Then he came home—not to a mansion, not to a monument—
But to a house in Sonoma with sunlight, quiet, and a garden full of gravity.
This is that house.
It’s not trying to be something it’s not.
It’s not loud. It’s not trendy.
It’s the kind of place you grow into, not out of.
A proper dining room. Not because you entertain celebrities.
But because Sunday dinner with friends matters.
A kitchen with a breakfast nook.
Because sunlight should come with your coffee.
A living room with tall ceilings and a view of the garden.
Because nature doesn’t need decorating.
And yes—an Orangerie. With skylights.
A room that invites light in and lets time slow down.
It doesn’t ask for attention. It earns it.
Outside?
A backyard that smells like jasmine in spring.
A patio that practically sets the table for you.
And stars overhead that someone in this house once visited.
You won’t find this on TikTok.
There’s no viral hook.
Just history, intention, and a life well lived.
The Schweickart Residence
East Side Sonoma. A few blocks from the plaza.
A thousand miles from pretense.
