Welcome to this unique property with a rich history and charming features. Originally built in 1908 as a station house for the train, this home has been relocated to its current location with the help of horses and wagons, adding to its character and allure. With the same owners for over 30 years, this property has been lovingly maintained and updated. In 2006, a lower unit was added, increasing the versatility and potential of the property. The main home has been tenant occupied, with a consistent tenant for the past 7 years, showcasing its desirability and long-term rental potential. Situated on a serene and wooded hillside, this home offers picturesque views of the city of San Rafael and the bay. The upstairs portion of the home is a charming and updated vintage space featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a spacious deck, perfect for enjoying the surrounding natural beauty. Most windows and sliders are double pane. The lower unit boasts a separate entrance and offers a main room with a convenience kitchen, as well as an additional bedroom and bathroom. This space presents an excellent opportunity to transform it into an ADU to accommodate extended family, guests, or generate rental income. The long private driveway, provides off-street parking for 4 or more cars.
