SOLD For $2,850,000 Spacious and beautiful Tudor house shares thickly wooded parcel in coveted Montecito Heights. From its origin as the site of an 1840’s outpost bunkhouse that later served as a Gold Rush stagecoach depot to the creation of a luxurious Tudor estate built in 1938, the 2.15-acre property at 3850 Montecito Avenue in Santa Rosa is steeped in history. Now this storied property is being listed for sale for $2,995,000 by Tara Polley of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Santa Rosa. Built for a former stock clerk at JC Penney who became a post-Depression millionaire, this extraordinary property was recently meticulously restored and augmented with a new elegant master bedroom suite. It now features four bedrooms, three full and two half baths, an in-ground heated pool, spa, two saunas, tennis court, a greenhouse, 100-case wine cellar and gazebo. , , In addition, an 808-square foot remodeled guest cottage, a studio/game room, an extended garage with a hydraulic lift, a garden, and fruit orchard are all part of this estate’s well appointed amenities. The quaint and historic bunkhouse and stagecoach depot has complete facilities including a bath and kitchen, as does the endearing guest cottage. The original owner hired noted San Francisco architect Mark Daniels, who was well-known at the time for his rich and influential client list that included the Crockers, the Sutros and the Southern Pacific Railroad. Some of Daniels’ more impressive design projects included the world-renowned 17-mile drive in Pebble Beach, Berkeley’s Thousand Oaks development and Bel-Air in Los Angeles. Among his many interests and pursuits, Daniels was fascinated by Chinese landscape design and created the Chinese Village at the Treasure Island World's Fair held in 1939-40. It may well have been Daniels’ vision of “residential development wedded to natural beauty” that secured his commission to design this grand Santa Rosa residence that entertained virtually every citizen of Santa Rosa at one time or another, including the Proctors and the McDonalds. Tucked among endless shrubbery, flowers, plantings and a huge grove of trees, including countless redwoods, fir and mature oaks, the exquisitely crafted 6,878 square-foot mansion features Tudor revival architecture and only the finest architectural details. Surrounding the front of the house is a phalanx of English gardens and manicured lawns. For more information, see www.3850MontecitoAvenue.com
