About this home
Some homes are simply loved, and you can feel it the moment you step through the gate. Tended for years by a devoted gardener, 37 Meadow Avenue is wrapped in fragrant rose bushes and a remarkable collection of fruit trees: passion fruit, lemon, orange, lime, and fig. The main home offers three bedrooms and one bathroom, thoughtfully updated and lovingly cared for over the years. Warmth and character fill every room, with the sense of a place that was truly cherished. Off the kitchen and primary bedroom, a private back deck, offers a peaceful spot for morning coffee, summer dinners, or quiet evenings outdoors. Out back, a charming one-bedroom, one-bath permitted ADU sits fully separate from the main house, with its own private entrance and a true sense of independence. It adds wonderful flexibility, whether you envision a guest suite, home office, studio, space for extended family, or potential rental income. All of this sits in Bret Harte, one of San Rafael's most tight-knit neighborhoods, where neighbors know each other by name, wave from front porches, and gather for the small moments that make a street feel like home. Enjoy easy access to downtown San Rafael's restaurants, shops, and farmers market, along with nearby parks and quick commute routes throughout Marin. A rare blend of charm, garden beauty, and community. Welcome home to 37 Meadow!

Bret Harte, located between Terra Linda and Downtown San Rafael, is a residential and hillside San Rafael neighborhood with curving streets and bay-facing views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bret Harte Park and Community Center on Mission Avenue, where ballfields, playground energy, and after-school activity set the daily rhythm. Mid-century ranch homes and tidy postwar streetscapes mix with pockets of older cottages on the slopes. The Marinwood Plaza corridor adds a practical, local errand loop without changing the quiet feel. Community pillars include Marinwood Community Center, Marinwood Market, and the Marinwood Community Farmers’ Market. Open-space edges and trailheads link the blocks to the North San Pedro Road ridgeline.
