According to the real estate website Redfin, the 1,500 square-foot house had five bedrooms and two bathrooms and sits on a 0.28 acre lot. The home was last sold over 30 years ago in late 1993 for $218,000. According to the website, the house's current estimated value is $667,676. The rain triggered flood warnings in Sonoma County, one which replaced an earlier flood advisory for the central portion of the county, now in effect until 10 p.m. Wednesday.
