A rare find. A turnkey Petaluma gem with original heart, modern bones, and a backyard made for living. Some homes are loved, and it shows. Held onto by its original owners since 1965, this beautifully maintained single-level home in one of Petaluma's most established neighborhoods carries the kind of quiet pride that cannot easily be recreated. From the freshly painted exterior and interior (2026) to the sun-drenched backyard retreat, every inch has been thoughtfully cared for. The smart floor plan makes the most of the 1,196 sq ft with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The cozy wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space, and you can imagine your perfect Sonoma County evenings here. The kitchen is functional and ready for your personal touch, while central heat keeps things comfortable during those chilly evenings year-round. The spacious attached garage comes with storage space as well as an included washer and dryer. Step outside to your private, oversized backyard on a generous 6,000 sq ft lot. A sunlit sanctuary ideal for entertaining, gardening, play, or simply unwinding. The lot size alone makes this backyard one of the home's most compelling features. Major systems have been updated for peace of mind: electrical panel, water heater, and furnace (2012), plus a main line sewer update (2013). And the lifestyle perks? Exceptional. An HOA of just $60/month unlocks access to a community pool (plus RV and boat storage, subject to space), a rare amenity combination that sets this PUD apart from the rest. Homes like this don't come around often. Whether you're a first-time buyer ready to put down roots or a savvy buyer who knows value when they see it, 405 Ely Blvd S deserves your full attention. Homes with this combination of character, updates, and lifestyle rarely last. Schedule your private showing today, before someone else calls it home.
