Description
- A private 2+ bedroom tucked back from the street, wrapped in a gorgeous garden, plus an adorable cottage out back. Office, gym, art studio? You decide. Inside, it's pure charm: hardwood floors, elegant built-ins, and a classic Wedgewood stove. The inviting kitchen looks out to the yard from a wall of windows. It also opens to a fabulous backyard built for entertaining - big brick patio to relax and for dinner parties, fully fenced yard (your dog says thank you) and total privacy. The light-filled living and dining room feels airy and open, with generous windows and built-in shelves throughout. Bedrooms are bigger than you'd expect for a cottage, and there's a sweet third bedroom the owner used as an office. Two baths, including one beautifully remodeled. Downstairs, you'll find a roomy basement with tons of storage, a workbench, and laundry. And the location? Walk to nearby trailheads to access the Cascade Canyon Preserved and on to Mount Tamalpais State Park. It's a 15-minute stroll to downtown Fairfax to enjoy the movie theater, great restaurants, shops, coffee, bars, and more. It's that hip, cool, small-town energy that makes you want to linger.
We estimate this home will sell faster than 99% nearby.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school itself is in a beautiful setting with lots of qualified teachers. The sports programs are varied and supportive. Generally the students are talented and respectful.Two trends we’ve noticed as we’ve shifted from MS to HS: cancel culture especially among band and theater kids. We believe this comes from leadership in these programs modeling poor leadership behavior. The music leader is out of his depth and should not be working with minors. There are too many hurt feelings and tears in that program to be normal. The district should investigate and replace him.Parent Review2mo ago - Manor Elementary School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe've had 2 children attend Mannor, and it has been a nurturing, positive, engaging experience overall. The Manor community is small, thoughtful and supportive. There are many opportunities to be involved with the school and community outside of the usual PTA, including the school garden and the school play, and with each classroom. The teachers are patient and engaged. If you are seeking a warm and supportive school experience for your child, Manor fits the bill.Parent Review2y ago - White Hill Middle School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have been very impressed with White Hill. There is a strong sense of community from the collaboration and investment between staff, families and students. Strong academics and excellent theater arts and music program. We really appreciate the leadership at this school and the teachers who are demonstrably invested in the growth and support of the student body.Parent Review1y ago
