About This Home

Located in a private and peaceful setting in San Rafael's coveted West End neighborhood, 159 Terrace Avenue is a sophisticated contemporary residence that reflects a commitment to refined design and natural harmony. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers approximately 1,547 square feet of living space and is designed to capture light and volume through its classic modernist architecture. Inside, soaring wood-beamed ceilings, warm wood flooring, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace create a strong architectural identity, while expansive glass brings in natural light and frames beautiful views of the San Rafael hills. The kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring stainless steel appliances, cork flooring, a built-in bench for gathering, and an adjacent dining area. The home's outdoor spaces include both a spacious view deck off the living room and a secluded back patio accessed from the kitchen and one of the secondary bedrooms, offering multiple settings for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the natural surroundings. The attached two-car garage adds everyday practicality and convenience, while the arrival experience feels private, polished, and well integrated with the home's tranquil setting. Built in 1962, the property combines timeless mid-century modern design with privacy and the convenience of the West End neighborhood just moments from the shops and restaurants of downtown San Rafael, downtown San Anselmo, and Highway 101.
