About this home
Tucked into the hills of Sun Valley on a private lot, this beautifully reimagined residence offers more than 2,300 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, perfectly positioned to showcase captivating views of Mount Tamalpais. From the moment you enter, the mountain becomes the backdrop, shifting with the light, drifting fog & changing seasons. The spacious living room is anchored by a striking stone fireplace while open-beam ceilings add architectural interest. New wide-plank flooring throughout brings a refined feel. Sliding glass doors extend the living space onto an expansive deck, where sweeping Mount Tam views & mesmerizing sunsets create an extraordinary backdrop to everyday life. The adjoining dining room is well suited for holiday gatherings or intimate dinners with friends. Recently renovated, the kitchen serves as the home's central gathering place, with upgraded soft-close cabinetry, new quartz countertops & a brand-new refrigerator creating a fresh, highly functional space for the aspiring chef. A framed opening maintains a sense of connection to the living room beyond, while a charming breakfast nook is ideal for morning coffee. The adjacent front deck is easily accessed from here, offering an effortless connection between indoors & out & a great spot for play within view. Down the hall, a bedroom sits opposite a full bath with a floating vanity, shower & linen closet. Beyond, the serene primary suite enjoys mountain vistas, a substantial double closet & an en-suite bath with a sleek dual-sink vanity, shower-over-tub, separate water closet & abundant storage. Downstairs, a family room with adjacent kitchenette opens to a sizable deck with stunning views, an inviting setting for movie nights, game days & relaxed weekends at home. Down the hall are a third generous bedroom with walk-in closet & a full bath with attached spacious laundry room. This level offers extraordinary flexibility as a playroom, home office or private space for guests or an au pair. A storage room, additional crawlspace storage with wine racks & a detached two-car garage complete the home.

Sun Valley, located between Terra Linda and downtown San Rafael, is a residential and hillside San Rafael neighborhood with winding canyon roads and oak-studded open space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sun Valley School campus and the nearby bend of San Anselmo Avenue, where morning drop-offs and dog-walk loops set the daily rhythm. Mid-century ranch homes and tucked-away cottages follow the contours of the valley, with trailheads threading into the surrounding ridgelines. The Marinwood Community Center and Pool reads as a local gathering point for laps, classes, and weekend events. Marinwood Market anchors the practical errands, while China Camp State Park frames the outdoor backdrop with bayfront trails and history.
