About this home
Let out a deep sigh of relief walking through the front gate into your sunny, private enclave, nestled in a gorgeous Santa Venetia cul-de-sac. Large, flat front & back yards create a playful oasis for kids & adults alike. Three beds & two baths are smartly separated, with a guest bed & bath sitting apart from the rest of the living area, which hosts another bed & bath plus an oversized primary bedroom. A newly remodeled kitchen opens wide into a vaulted ceiling living room where a gas fireplace makes for cozy winter nights while a large sliding door lends itself to ideal indoor/outdoor vibes in the summer. Did we mention the huge bonus family room!? Off-street parking for two & ample street parking is key for this commute-friendly home minutes from 101. Speaking of minutes away, China Camp, McNear's, & other quintessential Marin hot spots will keep all outdoor lovers busy. Come home to the perfect park for all on Descanso Way, steps outside your door. So much to love!
