Tucked along a quiet interior street in Santa Rosa's coveted McDonald District, this 1918 Craftsman offers a rare blend of architectural charm and curated modern updates. From the inviting front porch to the beautifully retiled fireplace anchoring the living room, the home is rich in character, warmth, and timeless detail. Hardwood floors, natural light, and classic millwork define the interiors, while the formal dining room with French doors opens seamlessly to a thoughtfully designed kitchen and breakfast area ideal for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Recent enhancements elevate the experience throughout, including fresh interior paint, redesigned front and rear landscaping, and the addition of a pergola that creates a refined outdoor living space ideal for dining and relaxation. The flexible layout features two bedrooms on the main level with an adjoining office, while the upper level offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath with vintage clawfoot tub, and a spacious retreat ideal for media, work, or quiet escape. The backyard unfolds as a private sanctuary with an in-ground pool, spa, cabana, and mature landscaping including a variety of fruit trees. A detached two-car garage with workshop space adds versatility and function. Just moments from local shops, restaurants, and neighborhood amenities, this is a home where classic architecture meets elevated living in one of Santa Rosa's most sought-after neighborhoods.
