Featured in Sonoma Magazine
We’re honored that 4185 Chaparral Court was recently featured by Sonoma Magazine for its distinctive architecture, thoughtful renovation, and seamless connection to its natural surroundings. The article highlights what makes this property one of the most unique homes currently available in Santa Rosa’s Alta Vista neighborhood.
Originally designed by architect Gary Toby of Design Concepts and recently transformed through a period-sensitive renovation by Markey Interiors, this residence offers a rare combination of authentic architectural character and modern livability.
A Home Designed Around Nature
Set on approximately 1.64 private acres, the home embraces its wooded setting through expansive walls of glass, natural stone, warm wood finishes, and generous outdoor living spaces. Rather than competing with the landscape, every room was intentionally designed to celebrate it.
The nearly 3,000-square-foot residence offers:
- Striking mid-century inspired architecture
- Two private primary-style suites
- Dramatic walls of glass
- Custom artisan tilework
- Period-correct interior renovation
- Expansive entertaining decks
- Three-car garage
- Solar
- Exceptional privacy in one of Santa Rosa’s most sought-after hillside neighborhoods.
Vintage Character Meets Modern Comfort
One of the details Sonoma Magazine celebrated is how the renovation honors the home’s original architectural vision instead of replacing it.
Vintage-inspired color palettes, custom tile, sculptural lighting, and carefully selected finishes work alongside updated systems and contemporary conveniences to create a home that feels both timeless and current. It’s a thoughtful approach that preserves the home’s personality while making it exceptionally livable for today’s lifestyle.
Why We Love This Home
As the listing team, what stands out most isn’t just the design—it’s the feeling.
From the moment you enter, there’s a sense of calm that’s difficult to describe until you experience it in person. Every room captures views of mature trees, natural rock outcroppings, and surrounding landscape, creating a home that feels remarkably private while remaining just minutes from the conveniences of Santa Rosa.
It’s a property that appeals equally to architecture enthusiasts, design lovers, and buyers simply looking for a truly special place to call home.
