A treetop hideaway above downtown San Rafael. Tucked away as a corner unit on the top floor, this generously sized one bedroom at The Oaks wakes up to a redwood canopy outside the bedroom windows and holds onto light throughout the day through north, west and eastern exposures. With no one overhead and only one shared wall, the home enjoys a rare sense of peace and privacy. The leafy outlook carries into the living room, where an open living and dining space centers around a wood-burning fireplace and extends to a private balcony. The thoughtful remodel prioritized both material and quality. The eat-in kitchen is the centerpiece, with GE and Samsung stainless steel appliances, shaker-style solid maple cabinetry, Caesarstone quartz counters, Grohe fixtures, European tile and designer lighting. Sound-abating luxury vinyl flooring runs throughout. In-unit laundry, upgraded electrical, and central heating and A/C handle the practical side. Storage is unusually generous for a condo this size, with closets throughout plus a separate, secure storage closet in a dedicated room on the same floor. One deeded parking space in the locked, ground level garage is also included. The Oaks offers elevator access, guest parking, Amazon package lockers in the lobby, and a gated pool and clubhouse. And just beyond the trees, downtown San Rafael and some of Central Marin's favorites are within easy walking distance: coffee at Cafe del Soul, Puerto Rican at Sol Food, or a pint at Pond Farm Brewing. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are nearby for everyday errands, while Highway 101, the San Rafael Transit Center and SMART make getting around the Bay Area easy. Turnkey living from the treetops: light-filled, private, low-maintenance, and ready to move right in.
