About This Home
Some homes check boxes. This one earns a second look. Tucked into a quiet, tree-lined pocket near the Dominican neighborhood, this beautifully updated San Rafael residence offers something increasingly rare in Marin: genuine lifestyle, genuine value, and genuine character, all under $1 million. Vaulted ceilings and a classic brick fireplace anchor the open living space, while sweeping picture windows pull in hillside views and the kind of natural light that makes a home feel twice its size. The kitchen, refreshed with new countertops and refrigerator, opens seamlessly into the dining area, whether you're cooking for one or hosting a crowd. Downstairs, the primary suite and additional bedrooms each open directly onto a private deck and backyard. Morning coffee. Sunset wine. Quiet evenings outside, it's the indoor-outdoor flow that Marin living is known for. Recent updates include renovated bathrooms, fresh interior paint, updated kitchen surfaces, and newer carpeting throughout. Move in, breathe easy, and simply live. Moments from downtown San Rafael and major commute routes. Priced to move in one of the county's most coveted zip codes. Opportunities like this don't wait.
