The main level features an airy living and dining space with open-beamed ceilings and a classic brick fireplace, along with a spacious kitchen and breakfast area that open to an expansive deck surrounded by greenery and a Mt Tam view. Three bedrooms and two baths, including a primary suite, complete this level.
