Set directly on the waterfront, 12 Amalfi Place pairs classic mid-century modern architecture with a private dock and a setting designed around life on the water. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in San Rafael's Canal neighborhood, the three-bedroom, two-bath home sits along a tidal waterway connected to San Pablo Bay, offering direct water access right from the backyard. Inside, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, walls of glass, and a floor plan oriented toward the water make the waterfront setting a defining part of the home. The main living space opens into a bright, airy great room, where the living and dining areas look out through floor-to-ceiling windows to the water and lushly landscaped patio beyond. A freestanding brick wood-burning fireplace adds a distinctly mid-century focal point, while the vaulted ceilings and exposed beams give the room warmth and architectural character. Large windows continue into the updated kitchen, bringing in natural light and canal views while you cook and gather for meals. The primary bedroom makes the most of the waterfront setting with a wall of glass facing the canal and a sliding door opening directly to the back patio, along with an en suite bath. One of the guest bedrooms also features vaulted ceilings and its own slider to an additional canal-facing patio, creating another quiet outdoor space just outside the room. Outside, the home takes full advantage of its location on the water. Multiple patios are surrounded by mature landscaping, with space to dine, relax, or watch boats move along the canal. The private dock is a particularly special feature here, creating direct access to one of San Rafael's navigable waterways and making kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, or a day on the water as easy as stepping out your back door. Instead of heading elsewhere to launch, the canal begins just beyond the backyard.
