About This Home
Entering under the covered carriage driveway, this stunning and timeless light-filled 3BR/2BA single-level mid-century modern home has been tastefully renovated while preserving the home's beloved vintage charm and appeal. Originally built in 1963, the house is approx. 1,525 sq. ft. with detached garage and a versatile 255 sq. ft. separate home office, gym or artist studio. The desirable layout features the open living room, dining room and kitchen all with ample natural light. The remodeled chef's kitchen has stainless steel appliances, Scandinavian oak cabinetry, Caesarstone counters with an expansive island and breakfast bar. All bedrooms offer comfortable retreats, and the bathrooms are thoughtfully updated with modern finishes while retaining some vintage features. Sliding glass doors throughout the home embrace the California indoor-outdoor lifestyle that allows effortless access to the deck, the gardens and patio that are ideal for entertaining or a peaceful sanctuary. The level parcel has multiple areas for gardening including mature wisteria, citrus trees and drought resistant plants. Recent renovations include hickory flooring, hot tub, A/C, electrical panel, furnace, water heater and fire sprinklers. Located only one block from Marin's highly acclaimed Farmers Market.
