About This Home
As of May 2026Resting quietly in one of Corte Madera's most desirable locations, 473 Montecito Avenue offers a rare blend of charm, comfort, and convenience. This inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home provides a peaceful retreat from the pace of daily life, with a sense of warmth and character that is felt from the moment you arrive. Step inside to discover abundant natural light, an open floor plan, beautiful hardwood floors, and exposed beam ceilings that create an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication. The spacious living room serves as the heart of the home, featuring a wall of windows, an architectural fireplace, and ample space to unwind or gather. The dining area flows seamlessly to the rear patio and connects to a well-appointed kitchen with vaulted ceilings, generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinetry-perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a private rear patio ideal for gardening and quiet reflection, and a side yard designed for al fresco dining, play, or space for your four-legged companion. Directly across the street, a former railroad line has been transformed into a pedestrian pathway connecting you to Corte Madera Town Square and the charm of Larkspur, along with a scenic bike path and nearby play areas. Additional highlights include access to award-winning schools and convenient proximity to Highway 101, making this home as practical as it is picturesque.
