Arrive from the property's sweeping drive to a cottage with hints of Tudor architecture, sequestered on 2 acres. Inside, buttercream hues and crisp trim are highlighted by the home's many sun-kissed windows. Handsome hardwood floors guide you into the living room with a dramatic centerpiece window. Tucked away, yet surprisingly within the city limits, this venerable old prune ranch has been much loved and in the same family for almost 90 years. A hidden gem, this unique property is close to shopping, restaurants, wineries and just a few minutes from picturesque Annadel State Park and Santa Rosa's treasured Spring Lake. Whether you renovate this hill top home, create a family compound, build your dream home or a sunny weekend oasis, the possibilities are endless! This one-of-a-kind property is a picture waiting to be completed by you!
