The Maples, a uniquely designed 20-unit Planned Unit Development just off Sonoma Highway, sits at the gateway to East Santa Rosa close to shopping, dining, the Brush Creek Trail, Lake Ralphine, and Howarth Park, with easy access on to Kenwood and Sonoma Valley. From here, you're minutes from world-class wineries and hiking trails, about an hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge, an hour east of the coast, and a short drive to Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport all within close proximity to sought-after schools. The community's park-like grounds are maintained by the HOA as part of your dues, leaving your weekends free for wine tasting, walking the trails, or just enjoying the Sonoma air. This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is approximately 1,320 square feet and features wood-look flooring, abundant natural light, a warm color palette, and a tile-fronted gas fireplace for cool evenings. The kitchen opens to the dining area with a breakfast-bar island, and sliding doors lead out to a fenced rear courtyard patio for easy indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings give the bedrooms an airy feel, and a laundry closet sits conveniently nearby. A single-car garage plus an additional uncovered parking space complete the home. A quiet, low-maintenance retreat in the heart of wine country.
