Property Description

Where Neighbors Wave and Memories Grow. Welcome home to 259 Irwin Street, tucked into a tree-lined street in San Rafael's beloved Bret Harte neighborhood, the kind of place where porch lights stay on for each other and the park down the road doubles as the community's living room. This sunlit single-level ranch offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, plus something rare in this neighborhood: an attached 2-car garage. Step through the front door into a breezeway entry, an unexpected, open-air transitional space that connects your private patio, the main home, and the garage and laundry room in one graceful move. It's the kind of detail that makes a house feel designed for the way you actually live. Inside, freshly painted walls and clean oak hardwood floors catch the light pouring in from windows on every side. The living room anchors it all, with a wood-burning fireplace and a wall of windows framing the treelined street beyond. The kitchen has been refreshed with brand-new stainless steel appliances and beautifully painted cabinetry, clean, current, and ready for your first dinner party. The primary suite offers its own bath and a peaceful view of the back patio, while two additional bedrooms flex easily into guest rooms, a home office, or both. Underneath it all: real peace of mind. The crawl space has been fully encapsulated with new drainage and a sump pump, a rare, valuable upgrade most buyers never think to ask about until it's already been done for them. Just moments from Bret Harte Park, downtown San Rafael, schools, shopping, and Marin's best hiking and biking trails, this home offers a rare combination of mid-century charm and everyday convenience. This isn't just a house. It's where your Bret Harte story begins.
