About This Home

As of December 2019

Nestled in the hills of Tam Valley a lovely 3bd+office/2ba home awaits. Pride of ownership is apparent, as the home has been lovingly maintained by the current owner for nearly 30 years. Tranquil and serene, this home features floor-to-ceiling windows framing Mt Tam and is adjacent to Golden Gate National Recreation Area open space. The main level includes an inviting living room with fireplace and built-in bookshelves decorated with knobs from the Golden Gate Bridge. French doors open to a spacious wrap around deck and magical views of Mt Tam. A kitchen, full bath and bedroom with doors to the garden complete the main level. At the top of the stairs you'll find a cozy sitting area, full bathroom and a bedroom on each end. Below, a laundry area and additional room, perfect for an office, complete this ultra charming home. A one car garage plus carport make parking at this location a breeze. This one is a winner!
