The former home of "Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz, located at 2162 Coffee Lane in Sebastopol, is currently on the market for $3.3 million. This historic mid-century estate, where Schulz and his first wife, Joyce Halverson, once resided, was originally built for the cartoonist who famously brought Charlie Brown and Snoopy into the world. According to SFGATE, Halverson played a significant role in designing and crafting the home's floor plans.

Despite being established for over half a century, the estate has maintained its mid-century charm and features a space that once served as Schulz's private studio. Schulz's creative haven has seen the likes of well-known personalities such as Bob Hope and Jack Lemmon. In an email, co-listing agent Maria Marchetti of Sotheby’s International Realty highlighted that the home drew more than 100 visitors over a weekend, signaling keen interest in the property.

The residence boasts six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, extending over 6,805 square feet of living space. It beautifully exhibits classic mid-century design, including an original double-sided brick fireplace and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a uniquely vintage hair-washing sink, per the official listing. "Each bedroom is further enriched by impeccably crafted built-in study areas, offering a perfect blend of functionality and flexibility," the listing adds.

Located on approximately 9.15 acres, the Coffee Grounds Estate also features a guest house, pool, and seasonal pond, fostering an atmosphere of a private sanctuary. "Upon walking the grounds of this estate, it’s no wonder so much creativity was born here," Sonya Hollander, co-listing agent, told SFGATE.
