A notable addition to Sonoma\u2019s real estate inventory is the home of astronaut Russell “Rusty” Schweickart, who piloted the Apollo 9 lunar module<\/a> that made way for the Apollo 11 moonwalk. The well-traveled Schweickart settled on a sweet patch of earth on Sonoma\u2019s east side, where he has called home since 2000.<\/p>\n

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom, 3,071-square-foot dwelling is now listed for $2,500,000.<\/p>\n

At the entrance, the light-drenched, high-ceilinged foyer shines in this circa-1991 home. A grand double staircase leads to the upstairs, which includes a library.<\/p>\n

An orangerie \u2014 a home addition designed to serve as a greenhouse \u2014 has repeating French and transom windows, plus skylights. The structure creates a light-flooded seating area with generous views to the gardens and, predictably, the stars.<\/p>\n

The home includes an updated kitchen. The grounds are lush with mature plantings.<\/p>\n
