More Insights

Built in 1979 (47 years old).
Condition: Built in 1979, the property's interior, particularly the bathrooms, shows significant signs of being outdated with original or very old tile work, integrated sinks, and dated light fixtures. While the kitchen features newer white cabinets and stainless steel appliances, the dark granite countertops and backsplash are not current. The description explicitly states the home is 'ready for you to update it with the features and finishes that suit your lifestyle,' indicating a need for more than minor cosmetic changes, especially in the bathrooms. The overall structure appears well-maintained and functional, but the interior finishes are aged and require substantial modernization to meet contemporary standards.

About this home

Looking down on Muir Woods and out to the Pacific ocean, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers expansive views filled with the tangible flavor of the California coast. A grand sized living room opens onto view decks and the kitchen/dining area opens onto a gazebo terrace perfect for dining al-fresco. The San Francisco Bay, Angel Island, the Bay bridge and Alcatraz can be seen looking south, the broad Pacific ocean to the west and Mt. Tamalpais to the north. Deer and bobcats, owls and quail are your constant neighbors. You can choose to wander down the famed Dipsea Trail to Muir Woods or to take the Hogback and Fern Creek trails up to the top of the mountain and beyond. Mountain biking, which was invented in Marin, is another convenient option. The waves of Muir Beach and Stinson Beach are easily reached from here. This light filled home is ready for you to update it with the features and finishes that suit your lifestyle. For those looking for a more ambitious project, there are approved plans for a 3,382 sq. ft. home with a garage of 514 sq. ft. Its elegant design has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a pool, spa and solar system. Artist renderings of this new home can be seen after the existing home photos.​Interior photos of existing home are from 2021 when it was staged.
