Tucked into a pleasant Santa Rosa neighborhood, this classic mid-century cottage offers the kind of flexibility that makes life a little easier, whether you're searching for a comfortable primary home, an investment property, or a space that can evolve with you over time. Surprisingly spacious and full of natural warmth, the home blends vintage character with practical living. A low-maintenance front yard leads to the inviting front porch and into a generous living and dining area with hardwood floors and a classic brick fireplace that anchors the space with a touch of timeless charm. Just beyond, the kitchen provides plenty of room with an electric range, dishwasher, large sink, and space for casual dining. The adjacent laundry room adds extra storage and convenient outside access. The layout offers excellent flexibility, including a spacious bedroom with its own exterior access and nearby bath, ideal for guests, extended living, a home office setup, or added privacy. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath with shower over tub complete the interior. Out back, the large patio and open yard offer a blank canvas for gardening, entertaining, outdoor dining, or simply creating your own relaxing retreat. A detached two-car garage plus an oversized carport provide abundant parking and storage options, a rarity for a property of this size. Conveniently located just minutes from Montgomery Village shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, while still close to the energy of Santa Rosa's vibrant downtown scene. A property with personality, flexibility, and plenty of possibilities waiting for its next chapter.

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.
