Late Santa Rosa Architect’s Midcentury Home Hits the Market

The circa-1965 Santa Rosa home has been featured in Sunset Magazine and The New York Times for its vintage elements and connection to nature.


The family home of late Santa Rosa architect Thomas Tomasi is currently listed for sale. It was recently highlighted in a New York Times real estate article on $1.4 million homes in California. The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom dwelling sits on nearly an acre of land that extends to the center of Santa Rosa Creek. The list price is $1,400,000.

Tomasi built the home — featured in Sunset Magazine multiple times — in 1965 for his family. Today, the residence offers design time travel to a peak in midcentury modern style.

Vintage design lovers can swoon over well-preserved elements: a stained-glass entryway (assembled by Tomasi himself, his son recalls), mosaic tile countertops, stone walls, wood paneling and solid oak cabinetry.

The home’s lush surround of mature trees takes a starring role inside thanks to generous floor-to-ceiling windows that make up nearly whole walls in many rooms.
