From...Set on an extraordinary 3/4+ acre knoll-top parcel with unobstructed panoramic views from the San Rafael bay to Mt. Tam and her beautiful sunsets! Rarely does an opportunity come along with such a unique blend of setting, character, and soul, plus exceptional privacy and room to expand. Oaks and oleander line the driveway to this magical setting where the authentic style 1949 Mexican-hacienda single-level home is wrapped in warm Saltillo tile creating an ideal lifestyle for indoor-outdoor flow. From both inside and outdoors, the panoramic views unfold for miles in almost every direction. Many artistic features grace the property, including mosaic-tile art pieces, stucco walls, an outdoor bar, iron gates, two fountains, and a grand yet gentle staircase descending to the undeveloped lower portion of the property. Don't forget to turn around at the bottom of the stairs to admire the tile work on the backs of the steps! A meandering pathway traces the perimeter of the fenced property, enhanced with an array of mature succulents and yuccas and a majestic heritage oak that borders the south-west patio. The grounds are fully fenced for privacy and offers several ideal locations to add a pool. Inside the main house, Mexican pavers connect all the main living spaces, and a vaulted beam ceiling and fireplace create an inviting ambiance in the living room and dining area. With windows on three sides of the grand space, there are views from every perspective. French doors open off the dining area to the patio for indoor/outdoor dining and entertaining. A windowed gallery-style hallway connects the main living areas to the three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The primary bedroom has a stunning south-facing view and opens out to the enchanting sun-drenched patio. A Mexico-inspired tile bathroom with double sinks, and walk-in closet complete the en suite. Separate from the main home, a small casita sits beyond a stucco-walled patio, offering space for guests, a studio/office, or quiet retreat fully apart, yet completely connected to the character of the property. The home is complete with a full laundry room, adjacent to the outdoor kitchen, that can double as a prep and service area when entertaining. This is truly a one-of-a-kind home and lot that has only been offered for sale once before! Come and experience this extraordinary opportunity.
