What sets this home apart is something almost impossible to find in San Rafael: a peaceful, nature-filled setting paired with genuine walkability to downtown. Pond Farm Brewery is just a half-mile away, and you're less than a mile from the heart of downtown and all its shops, restaurants, and cafes. A private staircase shortcut leads straight down the hill, so you can skip the winding walk and reach it all in minutes. Inside, a versatile loft sits above the main living space, offering a flexible bonus room that adapts to however you live. It's currently set up as a combination home office and nursery, a great example of just how functional the space can be. Tucked at the end of a quiet road in San Rafael's desirable West End neighborhood, this private 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with a bonus loft features soaring ceilings, skylights, beautiful wooded views, hardwood floors, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The open-beamed kitchen with granite countertops flows seamlessly to expansive outdoor decking -- an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining surrounded by nature. Step outside to expansive redwood decking surrounded by lush ferns, mature trees, and vibrant landscaping -- complete with a built-in fire pit lounge, dining area, and a separate stone patio above, perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding in a stunning natural setting. The home also features a cozy wood-burning fireplace and a full suite of in-unit appliances including refrigerator with ice maker, electric stove, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and washer/dryer. A 2-car garage completes the package. Pet possible with owners approval. Renter's Insurance Required. No smoking. Rent is due monthly. 1 Year lease term.

About West
End
West End, located between Downtown San Rafael and the San Rafael Canal, is a historic and residential San Rafael neighborhood with a walkable street grid and a working-waterfront edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around 4th Street near the West End, where taquerias, corner markets, and small service shops set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Victorian-era cottages and early 20th-century bungalows mix with low-rise apartments along tree-lined blocks. Pickleweed Park frames the canal with paths and open lawns, while the Bay Trail corridor adds a breezy, shoreline feel. Marin History Museum and the Falkirk Cultural Center anchor local culture with exhibits and events. Commute patterns and errands often orbit the SMART station and downtown blocks to the east.
