More Insights

Built in 1963 (63 years old).
Condition: This 1963 property has undergone extensive and tasteful updates, including beautiful Italian stone flooring, double-pane windows, recessed lighting, and fresh paint, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern countertops and upgraded cabinetry, though the white appliances are not the most current style. The primary bathroom is well-updated with dual sinks and a walk-in shower, while the second bathroom's tub tile appears older. Overall, the property is very well-maintained and functional, aligning with a 'Good' condition score, indicating a renovation likely within the last 5-15 years rather than a brand-new build or full recent high-end renovation.

About this home

Set within the serene and peaceful Meadows of Terra Linda community, this charming home embodies the essence of a true country club lifestyle. This highly desirable lower-level pristine residence has been tastefully updated with beautiful Italian stone flooring throughout (including the bedrooms), double-pane windows and sliding doors, recessed lighting, fresh paint, and has expansive walls for showcasing art, air conditioning, and a spacious secluded patio. The bright updated kitchen has modern countertops, upgraded cabinetry, stylish hardware, and a useful larder designed for effortless cooking. Just off the kitchen, the dining area opens to a covered patio ideal for alfresco dining- as well as a larger patio area for additional outdoor enjoyment and entertainment. The primary suite features tall windows, three closets, a large dressing area, dual sinks, and a walk-in shower. The sunny backyard has stone pavers, two generously sized storage sheds, and a private gate that opens to a wonderful winding path that flows through the park-like grounds of this 20+ acre community and connects to the property's community club house which offers two large entertaining rooms, three pools, two tennis courts, and dedicated men's and women's saunas- an ideal setting for relaxing, playing, fitness, or simply soaking up the sun in what is arguably the best weather in all of Marin. Additional features include assigned off-street covered parking for one car, plus 19 on-site EV charging stations, plentiful guest parking, multiple on-site laundry facilities, and bicycle storage. Conveniently located to shopping, dining, hiking, biking, Marin County Open Space and trails, Kaiser Hospital, high-ranking schools, lively Downtown San Rafael and Hwy 101. This truly feels like a breath of fresh air to come home to.
