The Healdsburg branch of AAUW has announced its annual Homes Tour on May 7.
The tour opens the doors to six beautiful and charming homes highlighting home design “then and now” in Healdsburg.
Visitors will be able to explore a majestic Neo-classical mansion with a stunning staircase, furniture and photographs spanning five generations.
Renovators will love the 1870s Victorian mansion known for its dramatic makeover. The oldest home on the tour built in 1868, is a Victorian cottage with a charming garden. A Transitional style home from the early 20th century has been lovingly remodeled as it approaches its 100th birthday.
Exciting contemporary homes include a hilltop home whose expansive windows capture fantastic Healdsburg views and a home and studio where the owners’ art brings additional light.
The tour includes a stop for the famous home baked cookies of the AAUW members and a refreshing beverage.
The tour begins and ends at the Healdsburg Museum where a “Treasures of the Museum” collection will be featured. Raffle prizes include dinner, a spa visit and an overnight stay at the Farmhouse Inn.
