About this home
Nestled down a private road, this serene Fairfax sanctuary is a rare find in one of Marin's most coveted locales. The home centers around a light-filled living area featuring soaring ceilings and tall windows that frame picturesque hillside views. A newly updated kitchen boasts fresh countertops, floating wood shelves, and walk-in pantry, while a generous bonus room also on the main level offers abundant storage and additional living space. Rounding out the interior, three bedrooms are complemented by a separate flex room with its own exterior entry, perfectly suited for a creative studio, home theater, or potential ADU. Outdoors, an entertaining deck opens to 2.25 acres of expansive, wooded grounds brimming with untapped potential and room to grow. All remarkably close to the best of Marin, minutes from epic trails at Mount Tamalpais, the serenity of Phoenix and Bon Tempe Lakes, and coastal day trips to Point Reyes and Tomales Bay. When it is time to connect downtown Fairfax is just moments away with its eclectic charm, farm-to-table dining, festivals, and live music. With a prime location and endless possibility, this special haven is ready for its next chapter. Welcome home to 397 Olema Road.

About Canon
Village
Canon Village, located between Sir Francis Drake Blvd and Bolinas Rd, is a residential and small-scale commercial Fairfax neighborhood with a walkable village core and a creekside setting. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sir Francis Drake Blvd and Bolinas Rd junction, where bike shops, independent cafes, and low-slung storefronts set a casual, outdoorsy rhythm. Split-level midcentury homes and compact cottages mix with small apartment buildings near the flats. Fairfax Coffee Roastery, Gestalt Haus, and the Fairfax Theatre anchor local routines with espresso, German beer hall fare, and a classic marquee. Deer Park’s trailheads and the creek corridor shape daily movement on foot and by bike. Evenings lean toward patio tables, live-music spillover, and a town-center pace.
