About this home
Welcome to Maison Noel, a captivating 1931 historic Franch Normandy style estate nestled in the heart of Santa Rosa's premier McDonald neighborhood. From the solid timber doors and rich wood flooring to the classic lath and plaster walls, this residence radiates character and unmatched craftsmanship. The show-stopping living room features a dramatic cathedral ceiling with exposed beams, beautifully balanced by a historic marble fireplace sourced from the legendary St. Francis Hotel. The home offers 4 bedrooms total, headlined by a luxurious second-story primary ensuite sanctuary complete with its own marble fireplace, a vintage clawfoot soaking tub, and a covered private balcony. The European inspired kitchen marries old world charm and modern convenience with its striking brick cooking alcove, honed marble countertops, deep farmhouse sink, shaker style cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The quaint breakfast nook offers the perfect spot for casual morning coffee overlooking the charming courtyard. Adding immense versatility to the estate is an enchanting 346 sq ft secondary cottage unit perfect for a guest house, private home office, or creative studio. Must see to appreciate all of what this historic property has to offer!
Mcdonald, located between Downtown Santa Rosa and the Junior College area, is a historic and residential Santa Rosa neighborhood with tree-lined streets and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along McDonald Avenue near E Street, where broad sidewalks, heritage homes, and a calm, walk-and-look pace set the tone. The McDonald Mansion stands as a local landmark, and nearby Luther Burbank Home & Gardens adds a distinctly Santa Rosa cultural touchstone. Queen Anne, Craftsman, and Tudor details give many blocks a curated, lived-in feel. Spring Lake Regional Park and Howarth Park frame the outdoor rhythm with trails, water, and picnic lawns. Downtown’s galleries, coffee counters, and restaurants sit just to the west for a more urban cadence.
