There is a particular kind of magic that belongs only to those who live beside the water. It arrives with the morning light dancing across the water, lingers in the gentle rhythm of the tide, and settles in each evening as an amber sky melds into the creek off your rear yard. At 32 Porto Bello, that magic is not something you visit it is the place you come Home to. This updated single-level townhome is filled with natural light from end to end. An open floor plan gathers the living, dining, and kitchen spaces around a Venetian plaster fireplace, while the kitchen, with its quartz countertops and stainless appliances, welcomes both quiet mornings and lively gatherings. Sliding glass doors lead one to a redwood deck that flows to a flat turfed yard and mature garden, all framed by views of the water and the marina. And then there is the dock. Imagine stepping out to a private boat dock with nothing but the lapping of the water, the call of the seabirds, and the salt breeze. Whether you cast off for an afternoon on the water or simply linger with a glass of wine as the light fades, life at 32 Porto Bello is lived at the water's edge. Everyday life is just as easy: Andy's Market at Loch Lomond Marina and Whole Foods are close by, and a deeded parking space next to the garage adds welcome flexibility. For those who have always felt the pull of the water, 32 Porto Bello offers more than a beautiful home it offers a little of that magic every single day.

Loch Lomond-Canal North, located between Point San Pedro Road and the San Rafael Bay shoreline, is a waterfront and residential San Rafael neighborhood with canal-side streets and marina views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Loch Lomond Marina promenade, where boat slips, a chandlery feel, and casual waterfront patios set the tone. Low-slung mid-century homes and contemporary rebuilds sit along curving roads, with palms and docks shaping the streetscape. The Bay Trail segments and nearby wetlands frame daily walks and bike rides. Andy’s Local Market and Loch Lomond Yacht Club act as familiar community touchpoints. The setting reads coastal and calm, with water always in view.
