Welcome to your private oasis in Santa Rosa's coveted Hidden Valley. Situated on a sprawling 8,000 square foot corner lot, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence offers a perfect blend of mid-century character and modern functionality. From the moment you arrive, the expansive corner lot and abundance of dedicated off-street parking (including space for a small camper) signal a property built for adventure and ease. The heart of the home is a chef-inspired kitchen thoughtfully remodeled with a gas range, premium cabinetry, convenient pantry pull-outs, and a charming built-in breakfast nook. The adjacent dining area has been tastefully updated, creating a seamless flow for hosting. Natural light pours through newer high-efficiency double-pane windows and sliding glass doors (including those in the primary and secondary bedrooms) illuminating original, meticulously maintained hardwood floors. Even small details like updated door hinges provide a crisp, modern finish throughout the home. Step outside to a backyard retreat designed for year-round enjoyment. The centerpiece is a sparkling, professionally resurfaced inground pool utilizing a passive solar heating system to maintain a comfortable 82 degrees from mid-April through October. Adjacent to the pool sits the permitted Lanai, equipped with its own refrigerator and a vintage wood-burning stove, this versatile space is the ultimate destination for every season. Imagine crisp winter mornings by the fire or sunset margaritas by the water; this Lanai defines the California lifestyle. A relaxing hot tub adds another layer of luxury to this low-maintenance sanctuary. For the creative, one garage section has been repurposed into an artist studio. This flexible space is perfect for an office or gym, yet easily restores to a traditional two-car garage. Efficiencies abound, led by a transferable Tesla Solar system on a flat-rate plan per month covering household use and pool pumps. With brand-new ducting, under-house insulation, and updated electrical, the heavy lifting is done. This is a high-functioning retreat in one of Santa Rosa's most beloved neighborhoods.
