Description

Charming and stylish single-level home in the highly desirable Bret Harte neighborhood, known for its wonderful sense of community, central location and great weather. Located just a few houses from Bret Harte Park and set on one of the widest streets in the neighborhood, this well-cared-for 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers a flexible floor plan with both formal living and family rooms plus a mini office. It is rare to find a 3/2 AND office AND family room in this price range. The updated kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, stainless appliances, and abundant natural light. Hardwood floors run throughout much of the home, while the inviting living room with fireplace and the sun-filled family room with walls of glass create warm and comfortable spaces for everyday living. Outdoor living shines with a spacious deck, level lawn, and a whimsical backyard fort/doll/WFH house. Everyone's favorite neighborhood... Sat AM yoga, happy hours, music events and more - if you know, you know. The beautifully landscaped yard also includes mature lemon, peach, apple, and fig trees. Additional highlights: new roof installed in summer 2024 and furnace & retaining wall in 2018, great weather, and an exceptionally convenient location with easy access to Bon Air Shopping Center, downtown San Rafael, and commute routes.
