Set amongst the tree-lined streets and charming, Spanish style bungalows that define this quiet neighborhood in San Rafael's west end, is 8 Neame. Enchanting from the start with it's vaulted ceilings, arched doorways, designer lighting, crown mouldings and antique brass Emtek hardware, it has a whimsical almost magical feel to it. Complementing the character and original details, find modern amenities that make living here easy: air conditioning, extensive solar panel system and a Nest thermostat. Simply put - this home skillfully blends the old and new; making it simultaneously feel both historic and modern. Visible from the street, the generous picturesque windows bring natural light to the living area (with cozy wood burning fireplace) while adding an impressive architectural element. A versatile floor plan includes two flex office spaces, and a large basement with possible expansion opportunities. A private backyard with level lawn and entertaining patios accentuates the indoor/outdoor California lifestyle. Locals call this the Santa Margarita neighborhood. It's tight knit and equal distance from the vibrant towns of San Rafael and San Anselmo while close to hiking, the freeway, Sun Valley elementary, SF, and wine country. Truly the best of all worlds!
