Imagine a property that checks all the boxes. This rare architectural masterpiece offers nearly 4,800 sqft of expansive living space, incredible views of Marin's rolling hillside, and a flexible layout designed to accommodate any lifestyle. Nestled at the end of a private road in the hills of San Rafael's Gerstle Park neighborhood, the property lives like a secluded hillside retreat and yet vibrant downtown San Rafael with its acclaimed restaurants, shops, parks, and convenient commute routes is just minutes away. Inside, rich fir wood floors flow throughout while abundant natural light streams through a dramatic wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Breathtaking vistas are front and center, with views and total privacy from almost every room. At the heart of the home is a remodeled custom chef's kitchen featuring premium Thermador appliances, a EuroCave wine refrigerator, and a center island with bar-top seating. A convenient bedroom or office and full bath round out the main level. The home's generous floor plan continues downstairs with a spacious primary suite, three additional bedrooms, a large bonus room, kitchenette, and laundry area. Two additional guest suites/ADUs with private entrances further enhance the home's versatility, ideal for multigenerational living, extended stays, home office, or additional rental income. The outdoors are a true extension of the home. A sprawling lot offers endless possibilities, with plenty of room for a pool or custom backyard oasis. Multiple decks, patios, lawn, mature landscaping, and fruit trees create a spectacular private setting for year-round entertaining in one of Marin's sunniest locales with a beautiful neighborhood park closeby. Solar, dual-zone heating, ample storage, parking for more than 10 vehicles, including an oversized two-car garage and separate parking pad below with room to park an RV or boat, complete this remarkable property. Centrally located yet offering exceptional privacy, this home is just minutes from downtown San Rafael while providing easy access to some of Marin's best hiking and biking trails. Combining incredible living space, breathtaking views, and an unbeatable location, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
