In 1946 the population of rural Santa Rosa was about 13,000 people. On a spacious parcel near the northeasterly edge of town, 1136 Poppy Drive was constructed in a manner typical of the times. Today this mid-century home reflects a combination of character from that bygone era with the conveniences and features we expect today. Vintage hardwood floors flow from the living room through 3 good sized bedrooms, all with overhead ceiling fans with lights. The main bathroom has a shower over tub and a pedestal sink complemented by period correct original built-ins. The backyard facing kitchen has been updated with extensive and beautiful wood cabinets, slab stone countertops and a full suite of stainless steel appliances including the natural gas range, microwave oven, a built-in dishwasher and refrigerator. There is a separate formal dining room as well as a very large 2nd full bathroom/laundry room combination with stall shower, washer and dryer included. Stay cool with central A/C. Step outside the main residence and the real fun begins. There are multiple, usable attractive yard spaces surrounding the home and the detached 2-car garage with an additional extra large 2 rooms with a separate entrance in back. This space can be utilized as a game room, retreat, or visitors' guest quarters, and there is an existing functional separate home office here as well. The outdoor spaces include a beautiful covered deck/pergola, a large artificial lawn, meandering natural stone pathways, multiple planting beds, and even a cute oversized playhouse. Don't miss the double gates off the driveway suitable for small RV or boat parking. Convenient to everywhere, this is a special opportunity to own a traditional Santa Rosa home with room to live and grow!
