About this home
Welcome to this sun-drenched 3 bedroom, 2 full bath sanctuary in the heart of Terra Linda. This delightful Kenney, Brookwood model has been thoughtfully updated to blend classic mid-century bones with the modern amenities today's lifestyle demands. The heart of the home is the stunningly reimagined chef's kitchen, anchored by a massive modern island that serves as the ultimate hub for daily life and entertaining. You'll find newer appliances, recessed lighting, rich wood cabinetry, and original hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout the main living spaces. Every detail has been touchedfrom the updated baths and double-pane windows to the newer solid-core doors, new roof, new garage door, newer heater, and newer A/C for those warm Marin afternoons. The home is in impeccable condition. Also, don't be fooled by reference to the Brookwood model, the kitchen has been transformed, walls removed, and no longer has its original horseshoe shape. The floor plan is as functional as it is inviting. A cozy family room with a fireplace sits right off the kitchen and the living room and dining area are on the opposite side. Step outside to find a spacious, level backyard that feels like a private park. It's a sunny oasis featuring a lush lawn and a large patio for entertaining. There is an extra parking pad, allowing two more cars, which makes hosting friends or managing a multi-car household a breeze. Location-wise, it doesn't get much better. You're in the highly-regarded Miller Creek School District and just a short stroll from Scotty's Market, Freitas Park, Vallecito Elementary School, Mark Day School and Kaiser. The area also holds the Terra Linda/Sleepy Hollow Open Space Preserve which has many great trails running through it as well as some pretty amazing views.
Terra Linda, located between Lucas Valley Road and the Terra Linda-Sleepy Hollow Divide, is a mid-century and hillside San Rafael neighborhood with a civic town center and open-space trailheads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Northgate Town Center corridor along Las Gallinas Avenue, where cafes, small shops, and everyday errands share the same sidewalks. Eichler-style lines and low-slung ranch homes set a clean, indoor-outdoor architectural rhythm across the flats. Terra Linda Community Center and Pool acts as a local gathering point beside the community park. Terra Linda High School’s campus and fields add a steady, daytime pulse. China Camp State Park frames the eastern edge with bay views and long, quiet trails.
