Set above Butterfield Dr, this home is private and light-filled, yet close to Fairfax and San Anselmo. Up the stairs, enjoy easy one-level living throughout. Hardwood floors flow throughout, while double-paned windows dressed in plantation shutters fill every room with natural light. The living room features a fireplace and an expansive window, while the dining room's beautiful built-in cabinetry adds a touch of character rarely found today. The kitchen offers an eat-in island, perfect for casual mornings or gathering while you cook. The primary suite opens directly onto a charming brick patio, the perfect spot for morning coffee against a backdrop of hillside greenery. The hillside behind offers privacy and opportunity, with the potential to terrace the slope for Mt. Tam views and additional garden space. Lovingly maintained by the same owner for over 30 years, this home carries a sense of care in every detail, with hiking and biking trails right out your door. Just one block from the highly regarded Brookside Elementary School, and with the best of Marin just beyond the front gate this is a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, light, and location all in one.

R-1
Single-Family Residential District
This District is reflected on the General Plan Land Use Map as Single-Family Residential, which allows a density range of between 1 and 6 residential units for each acre of land, with a maximum population density of 18 persons for each gross acre of land. The minimum lot area for R-1 lots shall also be regulated by the Slope Density Table, referred to as Table 4C. No allowance for rounding up shall be granted for the last lot in a subdivision which only partially meets the minimum lot area requirements. This District is generally applied to established residential neighborhoods characterized by single-family detached residential units on conventional lots. The majority of the land area in this District has previously been developed. Additionally, this District is applied to lots located at or above 150 ft above Mean Sea Level which are further regulated through the requirement for the careful review of architectural design and site development characteristics for new development on undeveloped land, for certain reconstruction of existing development, and for certain expansions of existing development. Accessory dwelling units are permitted as an accessory residential use that is consistent with the General Plan and shall not be considered to exceed the allowable density. Small 2 unit developments that comply with Chapter 4 are permitted.
