About this home

Unit 206 offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and location within one of Greenbrae's most established condominium communities. Developed during the 1960s-1970s, Via Casitas is known for its low-density design, mature landscaping, and livable floor plans that continue to attract buyers seeking comfort and long-term value. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence does not share a wall with another unit, providing exceptional privacy rarely found in condo living. The flexible layout offers excellent separation of space, ideal for full-time living, guests, or a home office. Large windows bring in abundant natural light and capture views of Mt. Tamalpais. Designed for indoor-outdoor living, the home features decks on both sides, creating multiple outdoor spaces for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying morning and afternoon sun. Set in a quiet, residential section of the community, the home feels peaceful and private while remaining just minutes from Bon Air Shopping Center, local cafs, grocery stores, and medical offices. Commuters will appreciate close proximity to the Larkspur Ferry, bus lines, and the SMART train, offering easy access throughout Marin and to San Francisco. Outdoor recreation is nearby with Corte Madera Creek, Bay trails, and local hiking paths. The Via Casitas community is characterized by low-rise buildings, generous spacing, and a garden-like setting, creating a townhome feel rather than a typical condo complex. Residents enjoy access to a community pool, enhancing the relaxed Marin lifestyle. Additional highlights include covered parking and extra storage, providing everyday convenience and functionality. Compared to nearby single-family homes in Greenbrae and Kentfield, Unit 206 represents a more attainable opportunity to own in a highly desirable Marin locationappealing to professionals, downsizers, and buyers seeking privacy, livability, and enduring value. With three bedrooms, two baths, dual decks, Mt. Tam views, no shared walls, excellent transit access, and a prime Greenbrae location, this home delivers classic Marin living in a well-established and sought-after community.
