More Insights

Built in 1991 (35 years old).
Condition: Built in 1991, the property is exceptionally well-maintained and clean, with functional systems and good quality flooring (hardwood/bamboo). However, the kitchen features some dated white built-in appliances and traditional cabinet styles, and the bathrooms, particularly the secondary one with blue and white tiling, show clear signs of being aesthetically outdated. While major components are functional, the overall style of the kitchen and bathrooms would likely require updates for modern tastes, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for a home built over 20 years ago that has been maintained but not extensively renovated to current standards.

About this home

Welcome home to this expansive retreat where comfort, privacy, and sweeping views come together in the heart of Central Marin. Nearly every room and deck frames vistas of San Rafael's rolling hills and Mt. Tam, creating a serene backdrop for everyday living. Built in 1991 and lovingly maintained, the home offers a functional, spacious layout designed for relaxation and connection. The property encompasses 1.45 acres, providing a sense of seclusion and a stunning natural setting, while the large sitting, dining, kitchen, and living areas flow together to create an inviting open layout perfect for daily life and social gatherings. The top-floor primary suite serves as a private sanctuary with panoramic views, while a secondary ensuite bedroom off the foyer is equally versatile as a guest room, home office, media space, or fitness room. Two additional bedrooms are well positioned for privacy, and a three-car garage offers ample room for vehicles, storage, or workshop space. With tropical landscaping creating a resort-like atmosphere and a quiet Las Gallinas location in the highly regarded Miller Creek School District, plus quick access to Highway 101 for convenient commutes and weekend getaways, this home strikes the perfect balance of space, views, and Central Marin convenience.
