This well-built and beautifully understated 1950s home rests very close to downtown San Rafael and San Anselmo, in the Sun Valley Elementary School district. It has a wonderful floor plan with the bedrooms clustered away from the gathering areas. The spacious primary bedroom has French doors that open onto a gorgeous private patio and terraced yard for peace, privacy, and ease of maintenance with morning coffee or lively dinner parties. There are hardwood floors, tile, and double-pane windows throughout the house. The large living room windows allow ample light in with sweeping views of the adjacent hills to enjoy by the fireplace. The kitchen and bath have been thoughtfully updated. This home lives like a large two-bedroom with all of the living space on one level except for a newly permitted office space situated off the two-car garage. There is abundant storage in the garage and several large closets in the living space. The house has been cared for by the same owners for 17 years with many upgrades including a recently-installed furnace, hot water tank, and whisper-quiet garage door. Truly a gem in a fabulous location.
