More Insights
Built in 1924 (102 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1924, this property has undergone a beautiful and extensive recent remodel, as evidenced by the modern, high-end finishes throughout. The main home features a chef's kitchen with new stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, sleek wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, and contemporary tile flooring. Bathrooms are equally impressive, particularly the primary suite's luxurious walk-in shower with multiple heads and a stylish double vanity, and the other main bath with modern fixtures and patterned floor tile. Energy-efficient upgrades like owned solar and a tankless water heater further enhance its modern appeal and functionality. The guest house is also well-maintained and updated. All components appear new or virtually new, reflecting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.

About this home
Beautifully remodeled private Gerstle Park home with guest house on a large lot. The 3BD/2BA main home (approx. 2,226 ft) features an open chef's kitchen with a walk-in pantry, adjacent to the dining room and a cozy fireside nook. Upstairs, a sunny, spacious living room offers high ceilings and skylights. The private primary suite includes a large bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a secluded deck with redwood views. A 750 ft guest house (currently under city review for ADU status) with its own deck, views, and spa provides great flexibility or income (previously rented for $2,750/mo). The fully fenced 11,251 ft lot includes new wood fencing, a level upper yard, a vegetable garden, a potting/storage shed, and a workshop. Energy-efficient upgrades include owned solar, a tankless water heater, and enhanced insulation. Prime location close to downtown San Rafael, transportation, and Hwy 101, with easy access to Kentfield.

Age of Original Construction: Built in 1924, the property's older foundation and underlying systems, despite remodels, may present long-term maintenance considerations typical of historic homes.
