If you have been waiting for a special property that stands out from the crowd, your search is over! In coveted Los Ranchitos, this mid-century inspired redwood home blends timeless character with upgrades on over an acre of private land and bordered by 2 seasonal creeks. Designed by prominent Bay Area architect Charles Warren Callister, this single-level home features a newly remodeled kitchen with Bosch & Miele appliances, updated bath, new roof, upgraded electrical, tankless water heater, and newly installed A/C. Light-filled interiors open to a wraparound deck with hillside views and stunning sunrises, perfect for indoor-outdoor living. Bonus space beneath the home offers potential, while a gated entry, storage shed, vintage play structure, and being surrounded by nature enhance the retreat-like setting. Homes in Los Ranchitos, a collection of at least 1-acre parcels with a peaceful, spacious feel, seldom come to market. Enjoy quick access to the SMART train, an easy SF commute, and the popular Sunday Farmers Market (3rd largest in the state). Easy access to the trailhead provides entry into the larger trail system. The home has been loved and cared for by only 2 owners and it shows! Move right in or explore the property's future potential

If you've ever dreamed of living in a tree house, this is the property for you! The serene 1.2 acre lot is private, wooded, and whimsical, yet the interior of the house receives abundant natural light through expansive windows and one-of-a-kind skylights. This special property boasts two seasonal creeks, several beautiful gardens, and even a custom-built kids play structure amongst the trees. The much-loved family home has had only one set of owners, whose original design and artistic touches can be seen throughout, from hand-laid mosaic tile designs to hand-crafted interior wood finishes and custom-built cabinets. Most rooms offer panoramic views of the surrounding hills, and the iconic golden spire of the Marin County Civic Center is visible from the living room. The lower level of the house is not counted in the square footage and cannot be accessed from the interior of the home, but has plumbing and electricity and may offer an opportunity for extra living space (buyer to verify). The peaceful Los Ranchitos location feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of life, yet it offers easy access to the 101 and downtown San Rafael. Enjoy the home's original character as-is, or make improvements over time to modernize and suit your personal taste.
