About this home

Vintage Charm. Timeless Character. Exceptional Potential. Behind a charming white picket fence, beneath a canopy of mature trees, this enchanting vintage home captures the warmth, character, and architectural appeal that make Gerstle Park so desirable. A welcoming front porch introduces light-filled interiors rich in original period details, high ceilings, hardwood floors, crown molding, and a cozy fireplace. Generous windows bring in abundant natural light, while the versatile floor plan offers two bedrooms plus a den and two bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite. The home's beautifully preserved vintage character provides a wonderful foundation for personalizing the kitchen and bathrooms to today's tastes, while retaining the architectural details that make it so special. Outdoors, a beautifully landscaped, level and private backyard creates a peaceful retreat for gardening, entertaining, or relaxing. A full basement and separate outbuilding offer additional flexibility for storage, hobbies, or creative pursuits. Ideally located on a quiet, tree-lined street, just moments from downtown San Rafael's restaurants, shops, parks, and vibrant community life, with convenient commuting access and an easy connection to Greenbrae and 101 via Wolfe Grade. A rare opportunity to preserve the charm of the past while creating a home for the future. There is a one car garage behind the fence with many possibilities: WFH, playroom, ADU?? Buyer to satisfy themselves as to what is possible. Seller makes no warranties.

About Gerstle

Park

Gerstle Park, located between Downtown San Rafael and Dominican, is a historic and residential San Rafael neighborhood with hillside streets and early-1900s architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Fourth Street corridor near Lootens Place, where independent cafes, galleries, and small restaurants set a walkable, after-work rhythm. The Rafael Film Center and the Marin History Museum act as cultural anchors, with live screenings and local exhibits. Gerstle Park’s Craftsman bungalows and Victorian-era homes sit under mature trees, with pocket views toward the ridgelines. Gerstle Park Playground and nearby open space shape a daily loop of dog walks and casual meetups. A short climb leads to trailheads and quieter blocks that feel removed from the downtown bustle.
