Property Description

Views and over 4,500 square feet of low-maintenance living in the coveted Country Club neighborhood of San Rafael, this four bedroom Santa Barbara-style home offers a setting that feels like a true retreat, all just minutes from San Francisco. The layout is made for entertaining. A gracious central foyer with elegant archways welcomes one into this grand and inviting home with high ceilings throughout, though it's the view that quickly steals the show. Open living and dining rooms with soaring ceilings and large Bay windows lead to a terrace overlooking the Bay, Loch Lomond Marina, Richmond Bridge and the city skyline beyond. An updated kitchen with walk-in pantry, central island and ample counter space overlooks the family room, which has a cozy fireplace. This floor plan is ideal for everything from casual intimate dinners to larger parties or gatherings that meander seamlessly between indoors and out. Adding to the outdoor space, a tranquil deck set under the shade of mature, romantic oaks offers yet another peaceful area to take in the stunning view. A sophisticated Primary bedroom features more dramatic views, a gas-insert fireplace, dual walk-in closets, custom automatic Hunter-Douglass window coverings and a grand en-suite bath complete with Jacuzzi tub, twin vanities, and a water closet creates an elegant space to retreat or welcome the day. A large guest suite or Jr Primary offers rare flexibility multi-generational living, long-term guests, or simply the luxury of choice featuring its own bath, walk-in closet and views to match. Two additional bedrooms are located on this level, with all four bedrooms connecting to a peaceful deck that features a hot tub perfect for unwinding in while soaking up the view. A large and private home office or den with built-in shelving offers a quiet spot to work or unwind. With tons of useful storage, a large laundry room and an attached two-car garage, the home is also built for everyday convenience. Outside, the grounds are well-maintained yet low-maintenance, so the beauty stays easy. Invoking the luxe tones of a Montecito get-away, the convenient location puts you close to Highway 101, with easy access to the city and SFO, or a day trip up to Wine Country. Nearby favorites include Peacock Gap Golf Course, Andy's Market and San Rafael Yacht Club. Santa Barbara charm, panoramic bay views, and a plan designed for entertaining and everyday comfort alike: this home lives as beautifully as it looks.
