About This Home

Flexible Living with Two Separate Spaces in Prime San Rafael Location This light-filled mid-century home offers a rare opportunity for true dual living. With a fully separate lower level featuring its own entrance, deck, and efficiency kitchen, it is Ideal for multi-generational living, co-living, guest quarters, rental income, or a dedicated live/work setup with private client access. 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. Downstairs, the independent lower level includes two bedrooms, two baths, a large living room, efficiency kitchen, and its own deck, offering flexibility and privacy that's increasingly hard to find. Set in a peaceful hillside setting just above Miracle Mile, the property also offers ample room and the potential to create a terraced garden or outdoor living space below the home (buyer to verify), adding another dimension of value and possibility. Minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this is a unique opportunity to shape a home that adapts to how you want to live.
