Welcome to 255 Knight Drive, a thoughtfully updated single-story ranch in San Rafael’s highly sought-after Glenwood neighborhood. The layout works the way you live, with the kitchen at the center: the family room opens off one side and the dining room off the other, so meals, conversation and everyday life flow easily together. A separate formal living room, warmed by a gas-insert fireplace, gives you a quieter place to gather. Recessed lighting keeps all of these spaces light and bright. The three bedrooms sit privately down the hall. The primary suite has its own ensuite bath and a walk-in closet. A 2012 kitchen remodel and bathroom renovations completed in 2023 and 2026 mean the major updates are already done. Outside, a well-landscaped front yard gives the home great curb appeal, and the private backyard retreat is ready for coffee in the morning, dinner outdoors and quiet evenings in Marin’s mild bayside climate. A clean, well-kept two-car garage with an EV charging outlet completes this truly turnkey home. Glenwood offers a quiet residential setting with bayside character, and it’s minutes from Glenwood Elementary, China Camp State Park, McNears Beach, Peacock Gap Golf Club and the shoreline paths along Point San Pedro Road.

Glenwood, located between Downtown San Rafael and Terra Linda, is a residential and hillside San Rafael neighborhood with winding streets and bay-facing ridgelines. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Manuel T. Freitas Parkway corridor near the Marinwood Avenue junction, where morning foot traffic and school-day rhythms shape the streetscape. Mid-century ranch homes and updated contemporaries sit among oaks and open-sky slopes, with pockets of apartments closer to the main road. Civic life orbits nearby public campuses and playing fields, while weekend routines often point toward trailheads and creekside paths. A short drive links to the arts-and-dining scene at Marin Center and the indie storefronts of Fourth Street. The setting feels tucked into the city’s green edges without losing connection to San Rafael’s core.
