The property maintains a Fair Condition Rating (50/100), suggesting the property is in acceptable condition with potential for value enhancement through selective updates and improvements.

Property is moderate renovation needed.
Originally built in 1920, the property appears well-maintained but dated. Interior images show older tile flooring, wood wainscoting, and carpet that likely exceed a 20-year refresh cycle. While the home is functional and move-in ready, the lack of recent high-end renovations to the kitchen and baths, combined with the age of the structure, suggests it needs minor cosmetic and system updates.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 28166, living area = 1564.
The property includes a generous 0.65-acre sunny lot plus an adjoining parcel, featuring a mature garden cultivated with sustainable practices, fruit trees, and edible plants.
While listed as a two-bedroom, the home offers a main-level office/den and a spacious lower-level flex room, providing excellent adaptability for remote work, hobbies, or guests.
Originally built in 1920, the property may require specialized maintenance or updates to aging systems common in century-old homes located in wooded environments.

In a quiet pocket of Forest Knolls, this private retreat sits nestled in the redwoods and stillness that define this stretch of West Marin. The gated entry of 169 Resaca opens to a sunny 0.65-acre lot filled with fruit trees, a wide variety of edible and medicinal plants, and a classic, well cared for wood-shingled home. Inside, the home offers an easy, livable layout centered around a generous living room with large windows that draw in natural light and the surrounding landscape. A fireplace anchors the space, while the kitchen looks out the ridge beyond, connecting everyday moments to the majesty of the San Geronimo Valley. There is much livable space in this home beyond its two-bedroom designation. With two spacious bedrooms, two full baths, and an office/den on the main living level that has also been used as a bedroom, the interiors strike a balance between openness, comfort, and flexibility. Additionally, the lower level adds a spacious flex room with additional possibilities for work, hobbies, guests, or storage. A wraparound porch extends the living space outdoors, creating multiple places to sit, gather, and take in the landscape.
