Originally built by Donald Bren in 1978-1979 as a two bedroom, two bath house (with a bonus room currently configured as an office), the seller added a separate wing with another large bedroom, a second living/family room, and a spacious bed & bath suite upstairs. There’s ample storage and room for a sitting area there, plus a lovely view over the May Valley and Mount Tamalpais. A generous, level patio shaded by a Japanese Maple, mature drought-tolerant shrubs with irrigation, and beautiful stone mulch makes indoor-outdoor living easy. With new paint, updated flooring and lighting throughout, this well-maintained home is waiting for you and yours.

Single Family Low Density Residential District
This district is intended for low density residential development with attached and detached single-family homes in level to moderately sloped areas. Dwelling types also may include small lot single unit development, duplexes, townhomes, cottages, bungalows, and second units. Density in this zoning district is a maximum of 15 du per acre. In addition to single-unit homes, this district provides for compatible, supportive uses, such as small family day care, park and recreation facilities, civic and institutional uses, including schools and places for community assembly that may be appropriate in a single-family residential neighborhood, and community gardens. Neighborhood mixed-use development is allowed at neighborhood nodes identified by the Planning Commission. Existing multi-family residential structures may remain and may be improved without increasing densities, or may revert to single-family residential uses.
