A thoughtfully reimagined 1940s bungalow nestled on a private hilltop in central San Rafael, this inviting home blends original character with beautiful, high-quality updates. Refinished hardwood floors, redwood paneling, designer wallpaper, handmade tile, updated windows, and a refreshed kitchen create a warm, considered setting made for everyday living and easy entertaining. The two-bedroom, one-bath layout offers a welcoming living room, bright dining area, laundry room, pantry, and seamless access to the backyard. Gather with friends around the dining table, linger over coffee on the spacious deck, or enjoy relaxed evenings surrounded by mature foliage and sweeping views. Terraced gardens lead to the front entry, while a versatile shed with French doors provides space for a studio, office, playroom, or creative retreat. A detached one-car garage completes the property. With its peaceful, treehouse-like feel, the home offers a private escape while remaining close to everything. Located between Gerstle Park and Bret Harte, it's just minutes from downtown San Rafael's shops and restaurants, down the block from Laurel Dell Elementary, and convenient to freeway access. Warm, welcoming, and designed for optimal enjoyment, this is a special place. Come home to San Rafael.
