About This Home

As of May 2024

20 Fairhills Drive is a remarkable property located in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in all of San Rafael. This 5 bed, 4 bath Cape Cod style home is sited on a flat lot, just under 16,000 square feet. There is a stunning, recently built 1 bed, 1 bath ADU with a beautiful private yard. Off the updated kitchen is a formal dining room and family room, both with French doors leading to separate patios. Adjacent to the family room is a charming guest bedroom and full bathroom. The luxurious living room has a floor-to-ceiling bay window and vaulted ceiling. Three additional bedrooms, one bathroom with bedroom and hallway access, and one ensuite with access to a patio complete the first floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom has a large bathroom with jetted tub and walk-in closet. French doors open to a view down to the back yard. Outside is a large, stately front yard with lawn, roses, boxwood hedge, and a majestic flowering tulip tree. The flat landscaped backyard has abundant flowers, hedges, and fruit trees. A path winds to a fenced wading pool, complete with a changing room and half-bath. The roof is two years old and solar with two Tesla Powerwall's was recently added. Within close proximity to downtown San Rafael, shopping, restaurants, and public transportation.
