About This Home

As of July 2026

Tucked away at the end of a quiet country lane on approximately one acre, this beautifully updated property is located in the highly coveted Los Ranchitos neighborhoodone of Marin's hidden gems. Known for its larger parcels, quiet roads, and timeless country character, Los Ranchitos offers a rare lifestyle that feels private and rural while remaining remarkably close to everyday conveniences. Shopping, dining, top-rated schools, and services are just minutes away, along with an exceptionally easy 15-minute commute to the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. Lovingly built and expanded by the current owners' family, this special home has been thoughtfully maintained and recently refreshed with new wood flooring, fresh interior paint, designer lighting, updated baths, and contemporary fixtures throughout. A fully owned solar system adds energy efficiency and long-term value. The flexible floor plan features 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a dedicated office, spacious family room, expansive living room, and formal dining area. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen opens seamlessly to the family room, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. Expansive windows fill the living and dining rooms with natural light while framing beautiful views of the surrounding gardens. The main level includes three bedrooms and two baths, highlighted by a gracious primary suite. Surrounding decks extend the living spaces outdoors and provide effortless access to the level lawns and gardens. The lower level offers exceptional versatility with a spacious office or studio and a private guest suite complete with its own living room, kitchen, bedroom, and full bath ideal for extended family, guests, an au pair, or multigenerational living. The grounds are a true sanctuary. Expansive level lawns, mature specimen trees, colorful rose gardens, native plantings, and a spectacular koi pond with a cascading waterfall create a breathtaking park-like setting. A collection of patios, decks, garden pathways, and inviting outdoor seating areas provides countless places to entertain family and friends, host intimate dinners, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The generous, acre parcel also offers ample room for a pool, sport court, or additional outdoor amenities, allowing future owners to create their own private resort. Homes in Los Ranchitos are seldom available, making this a truly exceptional opportunity. Great schools, and special neighborhood!
