There is a moment, usually somewhere between the chaos of a full career and the quiet of what comes next, when you start to imagine a different kind of morning. One where the coffee is hot, the pace is yours, and the view outside the window actually matches the life you worked so hard to build.

That morning exists here.

Welcome to Chanterelle, one of Sonoma Valley's most treasured 55+ communities, where the vineyards aren't a backdrop, they surround your neighborhood. Where the Sonoma Plaza is minutes away but feels like it belongs to you. Where your neighbors actually know your name, the walking trails are behind your home, and the only thing on your agenda is deciding whether today calls for golf, wine tasting, or simply doing nothing at all.

172 S Temelec Cir is the rarest kind of listing in this community: a home that has been so thoughtfully and completely transformed that it renders every other option instantly forgettable.

A Home That Lives the Way You Want To

The floor plan was designed with intention. The main level holds not one but two bedrooms, including the primary suite with its beautifully spa inspired bath, giving you the ease of single-level living without sacrificing space or flexibility. Wide plank walnut-toned flooring runs underfoot, vaulted ceilings open the rooms up, and solar tubes pull in natural light that makes every corner feel alive and warm.

The stacked stone fireplace surround anchors the living room with the kind of understated elegance that never goes out of style. The open living and dining areas flow together naturally, and then outward, through glass doors to the private patio, the hot tub, the raised bed garden, and primary bedroom deck.

A Kitchen Worth Gathering In

The remodeled kitchen is the heart of this home in every sense. Crown molding nestles against white cabinetry, granite slab countertops, and an irridescent tile backsplash giving it the look of a home that was designed, not just updated. The sunny breakfast nook is the kind of spot where morning coffee turns into an hour well spent. Stainless steel appliances include a Samsung 5-burner gas range with center grill, a Maytag trash compactor, and a KitchenAid dishwasher. Everything is here. Nothing needs to be done.

Upstairs, Room to Breathe

When guests arrive, or when you simply want space to spread out, the upper level delivers. A beautifully appointed ensuite bedroom with a dual vanity bathroom and walk-in shower offers luxurious private accommodations that feel more boutique hotel than spare room. A loft and additional office or bonus room round out the upper level, giving you flexibility for hobbies, creativity, a home office, or simply a place to disappear with a good book.

Outside, the Life You Imagined

Step through the gate into a private courtyard framed by blooming flowers and raised garden beds. The covered patio is made for slow afternoons, and the hot tub patio invites you to end every evening under the stars. Just beyond the back fence, the community walking trails begin, with the pool and clubhouse steps away. The 2-car garage includes a bonus pop-out space, ideal for workout equipment, a workbench, or whatever hobby has been waiting for its own room.

The Community That Makes It All Complete

Chanterelle is not just a neighborhood. It is a decision to live differently. Surrounded by Sonoma Valley vineyards, it sits just minutes from world-class wine tasting, championship golf, and the beloved Sonoma Plaza with its farmers markets, restaurants, and boutiques. The community is designed for people who have spent a lifetime building something and are now, finally, ready to enjoy it. Low-maintenance living. A social fabric that feels genuine. And a setting that reminds you every single day why Sonoma is one of the most coveted places in California to call home.

This isn't about finding somewhere to settle. It's about finding the life you've always dreamed of building.
