About this House

Photos coming 2/13/25 There are a number of things to like about this San Rafael hills home, but first to note are the amazing and expansive views of the San Gabriel Mountains.

There is a surprising amount of space in this split-level home to include four bedrooms and two baths. Smart floor plan with three bedrooms and a hall bath upstairs and a guest suite with 3/4 bath and kitchenette, a bedroom currently being used as office and a bonus room that can be used as a workout, playroom or laundry/mud room downstairs.

Two car carport with electric for car, large paver stoned drive and patio for entertaining or sport and a flat yard area with garden area.2275 sq.ft. taped total. 1519 Interior Square Feet (Per Assessor) plus 758 Bonus Square Feet (Taped)
