Greenbrae, CA 94904
Tucked toward the quiet end of the iconic Greenbrae Boardwalk, this charming two-bedroom, one-bath cottage offers a rare opportunity to live in one of Marin's most distinctive waterfront communities. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the cottage features a newer roof, along with new flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, new appliances, and updates to the kitchen and bath. Plus outdoor shower with a water view no less. Vaulted ceilings and an abundance of windows create a bright, open feel, while stainless-steel appliances add a clean, contemporary touch. Outside, the decking has been improved, with the boat dock and deck supports rebuilt for added functionality and enjoyment. Spacious outdoor patio areas provide wonderful spaces for relaxing, entertaining, and taking in the unique waterfront surroundings. For boating and water enthusiasts, the setting is hard to match. A private boat dock with Bay access makes it easy to head out by boat, kayak, or paddle board, while the surrounding waterways invite exploration. Whether you're an avid water enthusiast or simply love being close to the Bay, this is a setting that encourages an active outdoor lifestyle. Originally known as The Pelican house, the cottage is part of a one-of-a-kind community of just 49 homes perched above the tidal marsh along Corte Madera Creek. The tradition of naming the homes reflects the Boardwalk's unique history, dating back to the early 20th century when houseboat-style arks'' were moored along the marsh. Accessible by foot, bicycle, or cart via a raised wooden boardwalk, the community is surrounded by butterfly habitats, wetland trails, and protected open space. Here, the natural landscape is as much a part of daily life as the home itself. A special cottage with a story, a private dock, and an extraordinary waterfront setting -a rare opportunity to experience Marin living in a way that simply cannot be replicated.
