Description
Magnolia House is an iconic estate in San Rafael's coveted Dominican neighborhood. The captivating and expansive Georgian home offers a rare blend of timeless elegance and incredible potential, nestled on over 1.3 level acres of beautiful heritage grounds. The historic facade with its gracious entrance is enhanced by its beautiful detailing and setting. The original home of approximately 3000 sq ft was built in 1918 as a wedding gift. An addition was added in about 1930. It remained a single-family residence until 2007 when a non-profit purchased the property. The interior offers a glimpse of the refined era in the living, dining, and family rooms. The home has thirteen bedrooms. There is also a Carriage House with seven rooms. It could be converted back to garages or other endless possibilities. This is a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to create a grand estate or for an organization to envision a program that would complement the university.

7/103GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe were a little hesitant sending our kids to such a big, diverse school. We had heard all the rumors of its problems. We sent 2 kids through Davidson. We could have gone private school but, ultimately, our kids wanted Davidson. We have been so happy with the school, the teachers, the community and the friendships my kids have developed. The diversity has been an advantage for them. It’s made them empathetic and fearless. This school has taught my kids more about the world than any middle school in Marin.Parent Review2mo ago - San Rafael High School

6/104GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averageprincipal lacks leadership and communication skills. Lots of behavioral issues including violence on campus, littering all over the community shopping centers and local neighborhoods, doing drugs in cars before and after school. The TL High School principal personally goes out herself to check on traffic control, safety, and construction. Joe D the SRHS principal is rarely seen - he might consider shadowing TL’s principal for a few days to see how a high functioning administration works and how to also work well with your community and neighbors and how to keep your students safe. There are SR students literally jumping over metal fences at construction sites and running for cross country class in the middle of a high traffic road — running in the middle of the road against traffic up a blind curve. It’s complete chaos.Other Review1mo ago - Terra Linda High School
