About this home
Nestled in San Rafael's coveted Forbes neighborhood, 21 Eye Street is a custom-built single-level residence completed in 2014, offering the rare combination of newer construction, timeless design, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Just moments from Marin Academy, this five bedroom, four bathroom home was thoughtfully designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. At the heart of the home, a chef's kitchen is outfitted with Thermador appliances, multiple ovens, a warming drawer, and steamer, flowing seamlessly into an expansive great room with a gas fireplace. Hardwood floors, designer finishes, and abundant natural light create a warm yet refined atmosphere throughout. The luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with its own fireplace, spa-inspired bath, dual California Closets walk-in wardrobes, and an adjoining bonus room ideal for a home office, gym, or sitting room. Designed to embrace Marin's indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the grounds feature flagstone patios, a hot tub, sauna, outdoor kitchen, breakfast bar, and mature landscaping with apricot, fig, pomegranate, lemon, apple, and pear trees. Additional amenities include a 1,200-bottle wine cellar, surround sound, EV charging station, multi-zone HVAC, and owned solar with approximately 39 panels on a grandfathered PG&E plan, resulting in minimal utility costs.

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.
