About This Home

As of August 2021

Referred to as the House of Light by its current owners, this home truly takes advantage of its sun exposure, expansive vistas across Corte Madera and over the Bay to Mount Diablo. You enter the sky lit vaulted foyer transitioning from the front courtyard, which is reminiscent of an English country garden, to a more contemporary living space. The oversized living room enjoys views over Town Park. Then ones attention flows into the adjacent formal dining room and on into the family room. One can imagine a more expansive, modern kitchen which would fully take advantage of both the picturesque front courtyard and the views to the Bay. The lower bedroom level affords privacy and calm with lovely views over the treetops. A laundry room, plentiful closets throughout the home and a tremendous amount of storage are additional benefits. The terraced back yard offers potential for gardens, meditative areas, and has plenty of room for your imagination to create your sanctuary
