Easy California Living
Artistically remodeled and thoughtfully designed, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath mid-century home blends warmth, character and fabulous indoor-outdoor living.
Step inside through a spacious foyer and into a light-filled interior with hardwood flooring, soaring ceilings and walls of windows. The expansive living and dining area is anchored by a gas fireplace and opens to a generous deck, creating an effortless flow for entertaining while taking in views across the valley to the surrounding hills.
A second gas fireplace adds warmth to the inviting family room, which connects directly to the heart of the home: a spacious, beautifully designed kitchen with custom cabinetry, abundant workspace and a substantial center island perfect for gathering, cooking and casual meals. A custom bar and beverage station adds both style and convenience.
Just a few steps up, the bedroom level offers four bedrooms, including a front bedroom that makes an ideal home office. Tucked privately at the rear, the primary suite feels like its own retreat, with a private side deck and hot tub, a walk-in closet with custom organizers and cedar flooring, and a beautifully remodeled bath featuring custom marble tile, an antiqued vanity and dual faucets.
Outdoor spaces unfold around the home, beginning with the welcoming front lawn and drought-tolerant landscaping and extending to the expansive main deck and more intimate side deck nestled among mature trees. The easily accessed lower yard offers a level, versatile space ready for gardening, play, lounging or whatever comes next.
A two-car garage plus driveway parking for four cars provides exceptional off-street parking. Close to the Racquet Club and tucked into the hillside above Sun Valley, this is a home with an artistic point of view, generous spaces and multiple places to gather, retreat and enjoy the view.

San Rafael emerges as a captivating city where architectural innovation meets historical depth, embodied most dramatically by the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Marin Civic Center. Completed in 1962, this futuristic landmark transcends typical municipal architecture, its sci-fi-worthy design serving as a metaphorical and literal beacon of the city's forward-thinking spirit. The downtown area continues this legacy of innovation through active redevelopment efforts, with the Smith Rafael Film Center anchoring a cultural landscape that celebrates artistic diversity and community engagement.
The city's culinary and cultural landscape is as diverse as its architectural heritage. Fourth Street pulses with international flavor, offering a gastronomic journey that spans continents—sushi, Indian, Thai, Italian, Mexican, and Puerto Rican cuisines coexist within blocks, reflecting San Rafael's multicultural character. Thursday afternoon farmers markets animate the street with local produce, live music, and a sense of communal vibrancy that transforms urban space into a dynamic gathering point.
Architecturally, San Rafael offers a remarkable residential tapestry. From the sought-after midcentury Eichler homes of Terra Linda to the Victorian structures surrounding Dominican College and the custom homes of Lucas Valley, the city presents a nuanced residential landscape that provides diversity in both style and price point.
Nestled between Mount Tamalpais and San Pablo Bay, San Rafael represents more than a location—it's a living narrative of California's architectural and cultural evolution, where historical depth meets contemporary innovation.
