2 Separate Buildings on 1 Lot in Central San Rafael! Work here, live here or do both. Glorious Queen Anne Victorian and a freshly upgraded, single level additional building all for under $1.2! Located in the cultural and economic heart of Marin there is no better place to own, live in or invest in right now. This stately Victorian was built circa 1898, has approx. 2450 sq ft, main floor consists of 4 distinct rooms, 2 with fireplaces, in addition to a kitchen and bathroom. Upstairs has 4 more spacious rooms/bedrooms, along with a bathroom and a large walk-in closet. The back building, newly vacated after 15 years, has a combined living room/bedroom, kitchen area and bathroom with shower. Both currently zoned for commercial, BUT due to ZONING CHANGES now can be used for almost any use...residential, live-work, retail, medical, etc. per City of San Rafael (owners currently using main floor as offices). Parking for 6+ cars and on site storage. Special property, honored on the city's historic preservation list due to its significant architectural and cultural heritage. Unbeatable accessibility and visibility, on a well-traveled street. Close to Hwy.101, Smart Train and The Hub. Great place to build family legacy...live in one, rent the other and create wealth at 705 Mission.

Historic Victorian in downtown San Rafael with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, as well as an additional detached structure in back that needs work, but could be an ADU. This property needs updating but has great bones, many original details and super...
high ceilings.
