Sonoma County Homes by Ledson

Quality. Craftsmanship. Exquisite details. Fine finishes.

These are words often overused when describing homes. But they are barely adequate when describing a Ledson built home.

“When I build a home, it will last 300 years,” says Steve Ledson, owner/developer of Armstrong Estates, a Ledson development in Sonoma, California. “I want people proud of what they purchase. Every home has quality and character because I build houses as if I were building them for myself. There are no cut corners and we don’t skimp.”

Evidence of the opulent quality of his homes can be seen in the custom moldings, exotic hardwood floors, mahogany walls and spacious, state of the art kitchens with only the best grade appliances.

“I never build the same house twice,” says Ledson, a Sonoma County native. “Every house is different, from farmhouse style to Arts & Crafts influence to Queen Anne. Armstrong Estates feels as if it were built over time and that it will be there forever. We’ve created a lifestyle where residents feel peaceful, quiet and relaxed. Kids can safely play and ride their bikes.”

Mature landscaping lines the wide streets in Armstrong Estates. Garages are tucked behind the home, so vehicles are out of sight. It’s a serene, restful spot, surprisingly only five short blocks from the bustling historic town square of Sonoma.

Ledson started building homes at Armstrong Estates in 1994. With his painstaking attention to detail, he estimates the 53 half-acre lots will not be completely developed until 2014.

“I’ve built over 3000 homes in my career,” says Ledson and adds his philosophy. “I’ve always built the best for the money. It’s not about cost, but whether there’s a value. People who buy my homes understand the difference, that’s why they love their homes. Armstrong Estates will be recognized as one of the world’s top places to live.”
