About This Home
As of June 2023Fall in love with this quintessential Fairfax cottage, on the market for the first time in 25 years, and nestled in the heart of Fairfax's coveted Cascade Canyon. This enchanting 2 bedroom, 1 bath home offers a cozy and idyllic retreat with rustic charm and modern comforts, surrounded by nature's beauty. Originally built in 1924, it presents a legacy of relaxed living in a private, tranquil environment in harmony with its picturesque setting. A substantial deck off the kitchen creates an opportunity for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. A welcoming new front porch, artistic stained glass windows, bonus rooms, and a new seating area on the lower patio add to its already abundant appeal. The lower level features a delightful knotty pine bonus room, an additional unwarranted bedroom, and unwarranted bath that enhance the comfort and convenience of this endearing home. Mini split systems for cooling and heating are ideal for temperature control throughout the year in Marin's temperate climate. The gently sloping lot is situated amidst an oasis of oak woodlands with a fenced backyard. 2-cars are easily accommodated in the driveway and there is ample off-street parking. Nearby, the vibrant eclectic town of Fairfax boasts an array of unique shops, and inviting cafes.
