The story
A collector-worthy residence in the Alta Vista hills, 4185 Chaparral Court showcases striking mid-century inspired architecture where home and nature feel intentionally connected. Originally designed by architect Gary Toby of Design Concepts and thoughtfully enhanced through a period-correct remodel by Markey Interiors, the home blends timeless architectural character with carefully curated modern comforts. Clean lines, walls of glass, natural materials, custom one-of-a-kind tilework, and open living spaces create a home that feels calm, grounded, and deeply private. Set on 1.64 acres at the end of a gated drive just minutes from downtown Santa Rosa, this is a property designed for those drawn to homes with soul and architectural presence. The approximately 2,941 sq ft residence offers a flexible layout with multiple living spaces and expansive decking designed to blur the line between indoors and out. Two private primary-style suites feature floor-to-ceiling glass and tranquil outlooks, while additional gathering spaces bring warmth, character, and an easy sense of connection throughout the home. Custom concrete countertops, an integrated whole-home Sonos sound system, solar panels, and a three-car garage further elevate the living experience while remaining true to the home's architectural roots. Surrounded by wooded and city light views, the property enjoys sweeping sunset vistas from nearly every room and outdoor living space.The setting feels remarkably alive, with frequent visits from red and gray foxes, bobcats, deer, great horned owls, red-tailed hawks, and other native wildlife. This is a property for someone who values design, privacy, and a sense of retreat without feeling disconnected. A rare offering, this is Wine Country living with a distinctly different point of view.
