Completely redone inside and out, this Rincon Valley home offers and opportunity increasingly hard to find: polished, move-in ready condition, meaningful infrastructure upgrades, and unusually low ongoing utility costs. With 3 bedrooms and 2 remodeled baths, the house feels cohesive, current, and well considered throughout. The kitchen was renovated in 2020 and brings together white maple cabinetry, generous prep space, updated appliances, and a waterfall-edge counter that gives the room a clean, tailored finish. Hickory hardwood floors, replaced windows, upgraded trim, custom shiplap detailing, improved closet systems, and refreshed paint continue that same sense of consistency across the home, while both baths have been updated in beautiful way. What makes this property especially attractive is that the investment here did not stop at cosmetics. The roof was replaced in 2024, and the home also includes a solar system, Tesla Powerwall 3 battery backup, EV charger, upgraded electrical panel, high-efficiency heat pump HVAC, tankless water heater, and substantial attic insulation improvements. Utility costs before solar averaged roughly $400 to $600 per month, while electric costs are now net negative, with natural gas averaging about $20 per month. For buyers thinking carefully about monthly ownership costs, that is a meaningful advantage and part of what sets this home apart from others that may show well but do not offer the same efficiency story. Outside, recent front and rear deck work, exterior maintenance, drainage improvements, landscaping refresh, and completed pest repairs add another layer of substance. Set in one of Santa Rosa's most sought-after neighborhoods, the location adds further appeal with access to Rincon Valley's well-regarded schools. For buyers looking for a rare opportunity to own a thoroughly updated home with lower ongoing expenses in a desirable neighborhood where homes do not often come this turnkey, this one stands out. Buyers often have to choose between location, condition and cost of ownership, this property offers a rare combination of all three in one gorgeous package.

R-1-7.5
Single-Family Residential District - 7,500 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 2 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.
