“We’re especially excited to bring sustainable housing options to beautiful Sebastopol, which is regarded as the greenest city within Sonoma County,” said Natasha Zabaneh, President of City Ventures. “The Canopy represents the perfect union of a green city and a green builder.”

Ideally situated in the heart of Sebastopol just minutes from Santa Rosa and the scenic Sonoma coast, The Canopy is minutes from local wineries, breweries, restaurants, and shops, along with Sebastopol Charter, a highly acclaimed K-8 public Waldorf school. The Russian River, Bodega Bay, and the Redwoods are a short drive away, offering countless options for outdoor recreation.

“When designing The Canopy’s floor plans, we made sure to accommodate buyers’ needs, no matter their stage of life,” said Zabaneh. “You’ll find a variety of plans, including homes that include dens, flex spaces and even an option with an ADU. There's also an option for an elevator—an attractive feature for seniors who are looking to downsize in Sebastopol.”

No matter the floor plan, every home at The Canopy includes City Ventures’ signature package of modern, eco-friendly perks built right in—no costly add-ons or confusing upgrades to worry about. Standard features include all-electric construction, owned solar panels, water filtration systems, Nest thermostats, Ring doorbells, keyless entry, and energy-efficient appliances.

Spacious, versatile floor plans range from approximately 1,455 - 2,175 square feet, with three to four bedrooms and up to three-and-a-half baths. Large outdoor decks are among The Canopy’s many standout features, which give buyers vantage points to take in Sebastopol’s incredible, nature-filled views. Versatile floor plans offer options for every buyer—including ground-floor bonus rooms and dens that can easily serve as a private home office, a workout area, or even multi-gen living. Some plans offer ADU options and elevators, ideal for seniors or multi-generational households.

Modern, bright kitchens feature a complete suite of energy-efficient, stainless-steel appliances, impressive islands, tasteful backsplashes and countertops, and soft-close cabinets and drawers. The primary suite presents a spa-like experience with its standalone tub, designer-inspired fixtures, dual vanity sinks, and oversized walk-in closets. Additional bedrooms are all generously sized and feature en-suite and adjacent baths.

“The lush natural landscape is one of the many reasons why The Canopy feels so special from the moment you arrive,” said Zabaneh. “As an homage to the area’s rich agricultural history, we preserved as many original trees as possible, including thriving apple orchards that are ready for picking—all right outside your door. The lifestyle here is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Sometimes, you can always get what you want: On Tuesday, The Rolling Stones confirmed that they will release a new album, titled “Foreign Tongues,” on July 10.

They also released a new single, titled “In The Stars.”

To celebrate, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood will attend an album announcement event in Brooklyn Tuesday afternoon.

The Stones' last album was 2023's “Hackney Diamonds.” It was their first album of original material in 18 years — since 2005’s “A Bigger Bang.” It was also their first full-length release since the death of drummer Charlie Watts in 2021. He appeared posthumously on two of that album's 12 tracks.

According to press materials for “Foreign Tongues,” it will also include a special appearance from Watts from one of his final recording sessions before his death, as well as contributions from Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, the Cure’s Robert Smith and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith.

“I love doing these recording sessions in London at Metropolis. It was a very intense few weeks recording ‘Foreign Tongues,’” Mick Jagger said in a statement. “We had 14 great tracks and we went as fast as we could. I like the room there as it’s not too big so you can feel the passion in the room from everyone.”

The Stones also worked closely with Oscar-winning pop producer Andrew Watt (known for his work with Post Malone and Justin Bieber, and the Stones' “Hackney Diamonds,” to name a few).

Speculation surrounding a new Stones album has been going around for weeks. First, posters appeared around London with the band name “The Cockroaches,” a pseudonym the Stones' have used in the past, along with a QR code. The code led to ‘thecockroaches.com’ and a sign-up page. Once a user had signed up, they received a confirmation message from Universal Music — the Stones' label. Representatives did not provide The Associated Press with comment or confirmation at the time.

Eventually it led to a white label, vinyl-only release of the track “Rough and Twisted” using The Cockroaches name — the first true tease of “Foreign Tongues” decipherable only by their most dedicated fans.

Then, in the week leading up to their announcement, billboards with the band's iconic mouth and tongue logo began appearing in major cities around the world with the words “Foreign Tongues” in various languages: “Fremmede Sprog,” “Vreemde Tongen,” “Dayuhang Dila,” “외국어,” and “Langues Étrangères” among them. Around the same time, the Rolling Stones' official website was updated to feature video clips stylized to look like surveillance footage of them in the studio.

On Sunday, the band shared a slide puzzle graphic fans believed to be the album artwork, depicting a cartoonish collage of the members' faces. (They were correct; it was the official album cover.) There was also a short video clip, just 10-seconds long, that appeared to tease a new song.

“The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” will host the surviving members of the Stones across three nights this month, NBC announced Tuesday.

Jagger will appear on Wednesday's show and Fallon will host Richards on Thursday. Wood will appear on May 13.

No additional details on whether the band will perform together on the show were immediately released.
