Built in 1957, this mid-century home is well-maintained but dated. While it features a new solar system (2023) and functional living spaces, the kitchen and bathrooms appear to be over 20 years old with older tile countertops and cabinetry. The property is move-in ready but requires cosmetic and system updates to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 24450, living area = 2363.
The expansive 0.56-acre lot includes a private upper portion with significant potential for an ADU, guest retreat, or home office, offering rare versatility in a prime Marin County location.
Equipped with a solar system installed in 2023, the property offers modern sustainability and reduced utility costs, a high-value asset for California homeowners.
The assigned elementary school has a low rating of 2, which may be a concern for families prioritizing high-performing public school districts.
As a 1957 mid-century home marketed for its 'potential,' the property likely requires additional capital investment to update original finishes and systems to contemporary standards.
