    Soul. Setting. Style. Find the trifecta at 166 Alpine Street. Grounded yet effortlessly bohemian, this special retreat in San Rafael's sought-after Sun Valley neighborhood features three spacious bedrooms and two updated baths. A few doors from Sun Valley Park on a popular cul-de-sac, mere steps from local favorite Andy's Market, and minutes from the vibrant West End, your personal oasis awaits amongst this beloved community. It's a home with soul, where everyday moments feel a little more meaningful. Verdant valley hillsides and lovingly cultivated landscaping create a stunning green backdrop from every window. Whether unwinding at home or entertaining friends, the seamless indoor-outdoor flow invites you to slow down, settle in and stay awhile. Sway in the hammock, soak in the hot tub, dine beneath the lights and linger over the warm evenings for which this special corner of Marin is renowned. A dream setting for the urban-farm enthusiast, the property is filled with mature plantings, including Concord and green table grapevines and several lemon, fig, apricot, olive and plum trees. At 166 Alpine Street, the seasons unfold in the garden, offering something new to gather, savor and share throughout the year. Thoughtfully updated, the kitchen and baths blend rustic warmth with modern function. The versatile floor plan also features a lofted area, expansive built-ins and an integrated desk for a dedicated office where valley views create an inspiring work-from-home setting. The attached garage offers even more flexibility as a second workspace, home gym, maker space or additional storage. A newer roof provides added comfort and peace of mind. Breathe in the fresh morning air beneath a canopy of greenery, with neighborhood favorites around the block including The Studio, Red Dragon Yoga, Pink Owl Coffee, Pond Farm Brewery, Sabor A Mexico, Betzy's Tacos, Johnny Doughnuts, and the new Alioto's Focacceria. Sun Valley brings together sunshine, connection and convenience, with easy access to downtown San Rafael and San Anselmo, the 101 for commuting or heading to wine country, world-class hiking and cycling trails, boutiques and restaurants. Some homes simply check the boxes. Others draw you in and stay with you. 166 Alpine Street is one of those homes you simply have to experience. See you there.
