Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1952, this home is well-maintained and 'move-in ready' with fresh paint and refinished hardwoods, but the kitchen and bathrooms are original or significantly dated (>20 years). The 'well-preserved' maroon tiled bath and galley kitchen with 'bones for a future update' indicate that while functional, the property requires modernization of its primary systems and wet areas to meet modern standards.
Middle School: Ross Elementary School (9/10).
The lower level features a separate exterior entrance, kitchenette, and bonus bath, providing excellent potential for an in-law unit, guest suite, or rental income.
Situated in a highly coveted neighborhood, the property offers exceptional proximity to downtown San Rafael, top-rated schools, and major transit corridors including Hwy 101 and the SMART train.
The kitchen and bathroom are in original condition, which will likely require a significant capital investment to meet modern aesthetic and functional standards.
With only two bedrooms on the primary living level, the floor plan may be restrictive for larger families or buyers seeking a traditional three-bedroom layout on one floor.
Timeless 1950s home in coveted Gerstle Park! Approx 1,692 sqft on a 4,500 sqft lot, offering 2BR/1BA on the main level plus a flexible lower level w/family room, wet bar & kitchenette, bonus BA & separate exterior entrance. Fresh interior paint & refinished hardwood floors throughout add to the home's move-in-ready appeal. The main living level is centered on a spacious living/dining room anchored by a classic brick fireplace & a broad wall of windows that fills the home w/natural light & opens to the rear deck. Bright galley kitchen offers generous cabinetry, a large skylight & breakfast area, w/ great bones for a future update. 2 comfortable BRs & a well-preserved original tiled bath offer a great palette for updates too. The lower level, w/its own fireplace, kitchenette bar & bonus BA, is ideal for a media rm, guest suite, home office, or possible in-law conversion (buyer to verify permits/use). Expansive rear deck & private backyard w/ mature trees create the ultimate indoor-outdoor Marin lifestyle for entertaining & relaxing. Attached 2-car garage w/laundry & workshop space.
