Property is move-in ready.
Despite being built in 1923, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen and bathroom have undergone updates that appear to be in the 10-20 year range, featuring functional appliances and refreshed cabinetry. The hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, and exterior wood shingles are in good condition, showing no immediate need for major repairs.
Situated in the highly desirable 'flats' near downtown San Anselmo and Fairfax, providing exceptional walkability to top-rated schools, local boutiques, and the Good Earth Natural Foods market.
This 1923 cottage preserves its original character with period details such as beamed ceilings, wood floors, a brick fireplace, and a classic wood-shingle exterior with a white picket fence.
The rare single-level floor plan features a flexible front room for a home office and seamless indoor-outdoor flow from the kitchen to a level backyard, ideal for gardening and entertaining.
With only one bathroom serving two bedrooms and a flexible guest space, the property may lack the convenience required for modern families or frequent hosting.
At 1,096 square feet on a 3,685 square foot lot, the interior space is relatively modest and the smaller lot size limits significant expansion potential.
This Craftsman cottage captures attention from the street with its white picket fence, brick driveway, wood-shingle exterior, and welcoming bay window.

The living and dining rooms are connected, creating comfortable spaces for everyday living and entertaining. The first bedroom features a skylight and built-in storage. The second bedroom is brightened by multiple windows and enjoys direct access to the rear deck. The bathroom features tiled flooring, a skylight, and a tub. The kitchen includes an eat-in area and French doors that open to the deck. A dedicated laundry room and one-car garage add convenience, while the level backyard provides abundant space for gardening, outdoor dining, play, or simply soaking up the sunshine. Rarely does a single-level home of this character become available in the sought-after flats near downtown San Anselmo and Fairfax.
