About This Home

As of March 2026

An opportunity presents itself in the sought-after Cascades community ~ built and cherished by the same family for nearly 6 decades. Pass through brick pillars that flank the entrance to a short tree lined drive up to 285 Cascade Drive. The beautiful paver-stone circular driveway sets the pace for this 2,814 square foot residence. 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, all located on the main/street level. With an open floor plan, dramatic vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors and wide hallways, you're sure to be impressed. Downstairs you'll find a large recreation room and wet-bar with French doors that lead out to a beautiful stamped concrete patio, surrounding a blue bottom pool (3' to 8'), perfectly framed by a forested backdrop. A versatile finished room, full bath and an unfinished workshop (hobby/storage room and much more) are also downstairs (these 3 rooms are not included in the total square footage of the residence). Steel Roof, updated dual-pane windows, synthetic balcony/deck and much more. The 12,000 Square Foot Lot (0.28 Acre) backs to a tree lined creek that's set far below the property. Another highlight is the award-winning schools of the Ross Valley School District. Immerse yourself in a full body/mind reset (Ctrl-Alt-Delete-lol) by enjoying the 500+ acre Elliott Nature Preserve and Cascade Falls located a short distance at the end of Cascade Drive. Less than a mile to downtown conveniences, restaurants and live music. Take in breathtaking nearby lakes with hiking and mountain biking trails. Not to mention the epic Good Earth natural food store - what an experience. All of this . . . and just 30 minutes to the Golden Gate Bridge.
