Beautifully renovated throughout, it's framed by serene hillside tree views and an unmistakable sense of privacy. Out front, a grand old oak casts shade over the Ipe decks, where dappled afternoon light & a gentle hush make it easy to lose track of time. This is a home that offers a way of life as much as a floor plan: tranquil, rural, and deeply connected to nature. Inside, warm wood floors & elegant wood details set the tone, from custom wood windows to the French doors that open from a bedroom onto the deck. The remodeled kitchen is a true centerpiece, outfitted with stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher, a KitchenAid refrigerator, and an Electrolux oven with a striking blue enamel interior, and finished with marble countertops and a matching marble backsplash. The bathroom carries the same refined, modern sensibility, featuring a stone-topped vanity and a bathtub with a tiled shower surround. A dedicated laundry room adds everyday convenience with a deep wash sink alongside the washer and dryer, while the primary bedroom impresses with raised ceilings, views and room for a cozy office nook. In the living room, a classic brick fireplace anchors the space, setting the scene for entertaining, relaxing or intimate gatherings. Step outside to multiple Ipe decks made for dining al fresco and soaking in the treetop views, all set on a large private lot enveloped by lush woodlands and wildlife. The setting is the real magic here, where even the drive home is breathtaking, winding through a tree-studded landscape past local farms, grazing horses, and a sweet community dotted with neighborhood gems like the Papermill Creek Saloon, Dickson Ranch, and fresh farm stands. Spend your days camping or hiking nearby trails, picnicking by a local watering hole, and swimming in the warmer months, all the makings of a true homesteader's way of life. For all its seclusion, the home stays wonderfully connected: less than 15 minutes to downtown Fairfax & 20 minutes to the West Marin shoreline, from Point Reyes Station to Inverness and Stinson Beach. For anyone who craves privacy, wildlife, & the embrace of a close-knit community along the edge of the forest,more than a home; it's a retreat you'll never want to leave.
