This Custom Rush Creek Residence is a Strong Value Opportunity, listed at $2,401,000—positioned well below the $2,339,731 Fair Market Value by -2%. Featuring a 4-bedroom layout with a versatile lower-level suite, saltwater pool, and expansive deck, the home offers a Condition Rating of 4. While the interior finishes reflect a 1998 build, the property provides significant lifestyle appeal through its private setting and mountain views. This is an ideal acquisition for Owner-Occupants seeking a spacious retreat or discerning buyers looking to add modern value.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1998 (26 years old), the property is exceptionally well-maintained but remains largely dated. The kitchen and bathrooms feature original cherrywood cabinetry and 90s-style tile/solid-surface countertops. While the appliances are newer and the home is move-in ready, the age of the primary finishes and systems exceeds the 20-year threshold for a 'Good' rating without a recent major renovation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 24054, living area = 3089.
The property features a private saltwater pool with an electronic cover, an expansive deck, and a pergola, creating a resort-style backyard perfect for entertaining.
Situated in the sought-after Rush Creek community with no rear neighbors and direct proximity to a 500-acre open space preserve, offering a rare sense of seclusion and mountain views.
The local elementary and middle schools carry a rating of 6, which may be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier academic districts within Marin County.
