Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1981 but features significant recent updates including renovated bathrooms, new kitchen countertops, fresh interior paint, and newer carpeting. While the kitchen retains some dated elements like the electric coil stove and original cabinetry, the overall property is well-maintained, functional, and move-in ready.
Priced under $1M in the coveted 94901 zip code, this property represents a rare entry point for a detached three-bedroom home in the competitive Marin County market.
The home features significant recent improvements, including renovated bathrooms, refreshed kitchen surfaces, new carpeting, and fresh paint, offering a move-in-ready experience.
Vaulted ceilings and large picture windows maximize the 1,392 square foot floor plan, creating an airy atmosphere enhanced by natural light and scenic hillside views.
With three bedrooms and three bathrooms squeezed into under 1,400 square feet, individual room sizes and storage capacity may feel restrictive for some buyers.
The 4,704 square foot lot is relatively small for a single-family residence in this area, which may limit privacy and space for extensive landscaping or outdoor recreation.
Some homes check boxes. This one earns a second look. Tucked into a quiet, tree-lined pocket near the Dominican neighborhood, this beautifully updated San Rafael residence offers something increasingly rare in Marin: genuine lifestyle, genuine value, and genuine character, all under $1 million. Vaulted ceilings and a classic brick fireplace anchor the open living space, while sweeping picture windows pull in hillside views and the kind of natural light that makes a home feel twice its size. The kitchen, refreshed with new countertops and refrigerator, opens seamlessly into the dining area, whether you're cooking for one or hosting a crowd. Downstairs, the primary suite and additional bedrooms each open directly onto a private deck and backyard. Morning coffee. Sunset wine. Quiet evenings outside, it's the indoor-outdoor flow that Marin living is known for. Recent updates include renovated bathrooms, fresh interior paint, updated kitchen surfaces, and newer carpeting throughout. Move in, breathe easy, and simply live. Moments from downtown San Rafael and major commute routes. Priced to move in one of the county's most coveted zip codes. Opportunities like this don't wait.
