Vintage 1957 Gem

Welcome to 2348 Nordyke Avenue—a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated 1957 home, rich in mid-century character and modern enhancements. Nestled in a peaceful Santa Rosa neighborhood, this property is a rare blend of vintage charm and 21st-century efficiency. Step inside to discover original refinished hardwood floors (2025), a dramatic mid-century brick fireplace, and recessed LED lighting throughout the main living areas. The whole-house fan, radiant heat barrier, and solar attic fan support year-round comfort, while the new composite roof (2023) and paid-for solar system (2025) ensure long-term efficiency and sustainability. The Bosch dishwasher, travertine floors, and a kitchen window pass-through to the rear deck make the kitchen both functional and ideal for entertaining. A new refrigerator (2024) and Insta-hot water dispenser add daily convenience. The primary en-suite features new fixtures, while the renovated hallway bathroom (2020) offers updated style and space. Additional upgrades include all new double-pane windows (2010), a top-line furnace (2010) with a washable HEPA air filter, a plus-size water heater, new light-blocking drapes, and insulated garage doors (2019).

Outdoor living shines here—with low-maintenance landscaping, raised irrigated planters (including herbs), mature fruit trees (lemon, plum, peach, cherry, and olives), blueberry shrubs, a grape arbor with shaded sitting area, arched trellis with climbing roses, and vibrant perennials like hydrangea, Russian sage, and roses. The shed (built in 2014) adds charm and utility, complete with lighting, electricity, and a front porch.

The private studio is ideal for guests, rental, or workspace. It features a separate keyed entry, rear French doors, private patio, new mini-split HVAC (2025), soundproofing, a glass shower enclosure with spot-resistant coating, full-size fridge, and a queen Murphy chest bed with memory foam mattress.
