Nestled on beautiful tree lined C Street, this large two level house is situated on a corner lot in San Rafael's desirable and convenient Gerstle Park. The house shows very well with a roof that was recently replaced, fresh painting on the interior and exterior, new carpet, and refinished hardwood flooring. There are dual pane windows throughout the house, and both main and sub electric panels are updated, as well as the furnace. 259 C Street has two bedrooms and one bathroom on each level, and the floor plan is open and expansive. Upstairs there is a formal dining room and a kitchen that features a delightful breakfast nook which lets out to decking with views of the San Rafael hills. This is your golden opportunity to own a classic home in San Rafael.
