Welcome to 138 Miramar Avenue, nestled in the hills of San Rafael, in the graceful hamlet of Gerstle Park, you will find this one-of-a-kind oasis that you have been dreaming of. Opening the gate of this very private and enchanting property, this home will speak to your soul. You will be immediately drawn to the stunning and expansive water views of the bay as well as the lovingly cared for trees and flowers that surround the house and property. The home has a large deck on the main floor for outdoor living and entertaining as well as two tiled porches. There are nine mature fruit trees including fig, lemon, orange, tangerine, pear, plum and three apple trees. There are two raised beds ready for Spring planting as well as Wisteria, Jasmine Hydrangeas, Geraniums and Bougainvillea flowers. Spring begins with the scent of Orange blossoms followed by Jasmine and then comes the Wisteria. You will enjoy meandering through the walkways and gardens savoring the sights and smells of the lovely gardens. The house itself is absolutely charming. It has an open floor plan with a light filled living and dining area facing the beautiful outdoor space. There is a large sunny kitchen with plenty of storage and a Wedgewood stove, a guest room and bathroom on the main floor. Off of the kitchen is a laundry room leading to a private outdoor tiled patio. The top floor has the primary bedroom and en suite bathroom with sweeping bay views even from the bathroom. What an inspiring way to wake up each morning! The bottom floor has a very large bedroom with an en suite bathroom, kitchette with eating area and entrance to the lovely brick patio. It is also accessible from the inside of the home. There is a detached one car garage with storage room underneath. Quaint extra building...yoga, crafts, storage...your choice!
