Shaded by California Oaks, the unique Bridge House spans a flowing creek. J. W. Putnam designed this Mid-Century post and beam to take advantage of its Arroyo setting. The rectilinear geometry of the structure is a perfect counterpoint to the nearly half-acre of natural California woodlands which embrace it. Sited on San Rafael's prestigious Laguna Road, this serene property has a great sense of privacy. An open floor plan and sliding glass doors welcome in abundant natural light and invite visitors to enjoy the flow between indoors and out. The step-down living room features a vaulted, beamed ceiling and raised hearth fireplace. Remodeled kitchen includes a center island, stainless appliances, and separate dining area. 3 generous bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and outdoor access; Master retreat includes walk-in closet and en-suite bath. Additional full bath and separate laundry room. Extensive recent renovations and freshly painted inside and out.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
