Welcome home to an elegant, accessible property in the Dominican neighborhood of San Rafael. The house is a beautifully detailed Mid-century with a touch of Santa Fe, and boasts graceful, single-level living. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, including a remodeled kitchen and en suite bath. It wraps around a very private yard and is almost level-in with an attached garage. There is a workshop/furnace room below. The location is superb with many picturesque areas to explore and convenient access to shopping, and the 101 Freeway.
