Property Description

Tucked away in the highly sought-after Bret Harte neighborhood, this delightfully up-to-date single-level home is a Rose Lovers dream, blending everyday comfort with a setting that's perfectly polished inside and out. Located just 13 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge, it offers a rare combination of convenience and neighborhood charm in one of Marin's most established enclaves. The front porch offers a perfect perch from which to watch the world go by while sipping morning coffee or an evening nightcap. Out back, the property shines with direct access from both the kitchen and dedicated home office / flex space. Brand-new decks and covered terrace extend the living area outdoors, overlooking a beautifully designed yard with new irrigation, landscaping, gravel and stone hardscape. Gardeners will appreciate the care that's gone into creating a place that's ready to plant and grow, while you unwind a true backyard retreat where there's still room to cultivate your personal vision.

Primary suite features an en suite bath with double-sink vanity and step-in shower. Design details include a cozy living room fireplace, custom millwork and tilework throughout, and gleaming hardwood floors. The single-bay garage is equipped with EV charging, adding modern functionality for today's energy-conscious lifestyles. With its prime Bret Harte location, fresh outdoor improvements and easy access to the Golden Gate Bridge, this home offers an appealing blend of style and sophistication.
