About this home
Set on a sun-filled corner lot, this charming Marin home pairs beautiful curb appeal with an easy indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A welcoming living room with a wood-burning fireplace and French doors that open to the deck and fenced yard sets the tone. The spacious eat-in kitchen, complete with a second wood-burning fireplace, flows seamlessly into a generous family room with pocket doors, offering flexibility and privacy. A convenient powder room completes the main living level. What truly sets this home apart is its exceptional connection to the outdoors. The kitchen, dining area, living room, and family room all open to lovely patios and gardens, creating effortless opportunities for entertaining, al fresco dining, or simply relaxing in the privacy of the spacious backyard. The lot is a gardener's delight, with persimmon, plum, fig, and apricot trees, as well as Japanese maples and a pineapple guava bush. Just a few steps up from the entry, three generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms are thoughtfully grouped together. An attached two-car garage with laundry and abundant storage completes this special home.

Picnic Valley, located between Dominican University of California and China Camp State Park, is a residential and hillside San Rafael neighborhood with winding lanes and bay-facing ridgelines. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 4th Street corridor near Lootens Place, where sidewalk patios, indie boutiques, and espresso counters set a steady daytime hum. Community touchstones include the Rafael Film Center, Marin History Museum, and the Marin Center farmers market. Housing leans to mid-century and ranch-style homes tucked into oak and eucalyptus. Trails and open space shape daily routines, with quick transitions from streets to ridge paths. Downtown’s galleries and dining sit just beyond the valley’s edges.
