Property is move-in ready.
Despite being built in 1937, the property is well-maintained, functional, and move-in ready. The interior features vaulted wood beam ceilings and has been refreshed with newer appliances. While some elements like the windows and exterior shingles show age, the overall condition suggests a significant update or consistent maintenance within the 5-15 year range.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7575, living area = 1032.
The property features a private dock with direct access for kayaking and paddleboarding, offering a rare and highly sought-after waterfront living experience in Marin County.
The home provides exceptional views of the San Rafael Bay, the Richmond Bridge, and the Mount Tamalpais ridgeline, visible from both the interior dining area and the expansive back deck.
With only one bathroom serving two bedrooms, the layout may pose a challenge for families or guests, potentially limiting the property's appeal to certain buyer segments.
At 1,032 square feet, the interior living space is relatively small, which may feel restrictive for buyers looking for more expansive rooms or dedicated home office space.
Welcome to 708 Point San Pedro Road, a sunny two-bedroom cottage that delivers a particular kind of relaxed lifestyle that only a waterfront home can offer. Tucked behind a gated entrance, the home opens to a charming garden and seating area framed by bougainvillea that sets the tone before you step inside. Upon entering, vaulted wood beam ceilings and an open, light-filled living space give the home a warmth and easy feeling. The dining area is positioned to make the most of the bay views, with large windows that bring in natural light throughout the day. The kitchen flows naturally into the living and dining spaces, updated with newer appliances, with laundry and storage connected. What truly defines this home is its direct connection to the water. The private dock makes water activities a natural part of everyday life with the access for kayaks and paddleboards to launch right from the backyard. The back deck offers front-row views stretching across to Richmond, the Richmond Bridge, and the ridgeline of Mount Tamalpais on the horizon. Calling 708 Pt San Pedro home offers a combination of waterfront living and access to San Rafael that's especially unique to Marin living. Point San Pedro Road runs right along the San Rafael Bay with a character that's hard to replicate elsewhere in Marin. This stretch has a quieter, more tucked-away feel compared to other parts of San Rafael, with the bay on one side and the open space of McNears Beach and China Camp State Park practically at your doorstep. Neighbors here tend to be active and outdoors-oriented, with the marina, beach, and trails all within easy reach on foot or by bike. It's a connected community with Andy's Local Market as neighborhood staple, Loch Lomond Marina Park, and miles of shoreline to explore, while still being a short drive to the restaurants and nightlife of Downtown San Rafael.
