Tucked behind tall, mature hedges, 1200 Dutton Avenue unfolds as a private garden estate where decades of thoughtful stewardship have shaped both land and home. Set on approximately 0.38 acres, the property is defined by its extraordinary groundsan immersive landscape of fruit trees, seasonal blooms, and two rose gardens layered with color, fragrance, and intention. Originally built in 1947, the home reflects a rare level of craftsmanship and preservation. Original Appalachian oak floors, detailed with mahogany pegs, run through the living spaces, while period materialsfrom the original tile, to imported natural cork flooring in the kitchenhave been carefully maintained to honor the home's vintage character. Natural light fills the interiors, particularly in the living room and kitchen, where daily life centers around warmth, comfort, and connection to the outdoors. The layout balances openness and privacy, with living areas positioned at the front of the home and bedrooms oriented toward the gardens, creating quiet, restful retreats. Throughout the property, pathways and plantings invite explorationfrom seasonal vegetable gardens to orchards producing apples, pears, apricots, figs, and plums. At the heart of the grounds sits a standalone cottage, offering flexibility with a bathroom as a guest space, private office, or creative retreat, surrounded by garden views on all sides. A large two-car garage with additional studio space adds further versatility. Located within close proximity to downtown Santa Rosa, the home offers a rare combination of privacy and conveniencean environment that feels entirely removed, yet remains connected to the rhythm of town. This is a property defined not only by its features, but by the life it has supported and the care it has received over time.

R-1-6
Single-Family Residential District - 6,000 sq ft
The R-1 zoning district is applied to areas of the City intended to be maintained as residential neighborhoods comprised of detached and attached single-family houses, clustered Residential hillside projects, and small multi-family projects, together with compatible accessory uses. The maximum allowable density ranges from two to 13 dwellings per acre, with the specific allowable density for each parcel shown on the zoning map by a numerical suffix to the R-1 map symbol see Section 20-22.040. The R-1 zoning district implements and is consistent with the Residential Very Low Density where residential clustered on hillsides is desirable, Low Density or Open Space, Low Density, and Medium Low Density land use classifications of the General Plan.
