A rare development opportunity set on an approximately 19,680 square foot parcel with views of Mount Tamalpais. The gently sloping grounds offer exceptional potential to expand or reimagine the existing 1930s-era residence. Wrapped in classic redwood shiplap siding, the home exudes timeless rustic character, enhanced by a generous covered porch and a Spanish tile entry. A long, stone-lined driveway frames the residence and courtyard, presenting an ideal canvas for creating a beautifully landscaped indoor-outdoor retreat. The flexible two-bedroom layout includes a spacious bedroom suite with a separate sitting area wrapped in windows, offering abundant natural light, along with a private lower-level bedroom. The main level features a well-proportioned kitchen with an adjoining breakfast room and a light-filled living room facing southern Mount Tam views. A formal dining room opens to an expansive view deck, perfectly positioned to capture the surrounding natural beauty, while a full bathroom completes the main level. Additional features include a detached one-car garage, a side porch leading to a walk-in pantry and workroom, and a lower level with a full laundry room, finished workspace, and generous basement storage. Updated systems include a newer furnace and water heater. Offering a compelling combination of character, setting, and potential, this property presents a unique opportunity to create a custom vision in a highly desirable location.
