The main home is a 2BR/+ office; 1.5BA with vintage charm, high ceilings, refinished hardwood floors, and an open floor plan with a striking fireplace. The back cottage is a 1BR/1BA with its own private garden featuring mature fig and lemon trees ideal for multi-generational living or rental income. Both homes have new roofs, a new sewer lateral, and the main home has a new water heater. Even with improvements- property is an AS-IS "fixer;" bring your contractor and your imagination. So much potential here! Between the two is a flexible open space where a carport once stood perfect for a garden, garage, or expanded living space. Close to Andy's Market, the West End of San Rafael, and just minutes to San Anselmo.
