About this home

Perfection and unparalleled craftsmanship are the hallmarks of this architecturally significant Victorian farmhouse located in the coveted Forbes neighborhood. Originally built in 1879 (1900 per tax record), the gated residence and guest house/ADU were completed in the Fall of 2020 after an extensive to the studs'' renovation. Paying exquisite attention to detail and using the finest materials, finish work and design, the 4 bed/ 3.5 bath main house offers 11-foot ceilings, light filled rooms, French doors leading to the private gardens, and period details throughout. The 1 bedroom/1 bath guest house/legal ADU with kitchen is a jewel box and is perfect for guests, family, home office, or gym. The lushly landscaped expansive 12,600 square foot double lot (with potential pool site), is a true sanctuary. Just a short distance to Downtown San Rafael with its wonderful shops, restaurants, hiking and biking trails, and Marin Academy. Property consists of two parcels: 010-183-03 & 010-183-02
