This vintage 1898 cottage has all the romance that you would expect looking down through the treetops to Madrone Canyon. It certainly has passed the test of time. Imagine listening to the endangered Spotted Owl from this sylvan perch. The cozy main house is 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths with pine floors and a dining room with enticing views. The outdoor patio is a private and sunny place to entertain. Downstairs is a studio apartment that recently rented for $1600./month. Could posssibly be legalized as an accessory dwelling unit under new state law. An easy stroll to the historic downtown of Larkspur allows you to enjoy the Marin lifestyle.
