Vintage Charm. Timeless Character. Exceptional Potential. Behind a charming white picket fence, beneath a canopy of mature trees, this enchanting vintage home captures the warmth, character, and architectural appeal that make Gerstle Park so desirable. A welcoming front porch introduces light-filled interiors rich in original period details, high ceilings, hardwood floors, crown molding, and a cozy fireplace. Generous windows bring in abundant natural light, while the versatile floor plan offers two bedrooms plus a den and two bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite. The home's beautifully preserved vintage character provides a wonderful foundation for personalizing the kitchen and bathrooms to today's tastes, while retaining the architectural details that make it so special. Outdoors, a beautifully landscaped, level and private backyard creates a peaceful retreat for gardening, entertaining, or relaxing. A full basement and separate outbuilding offer additional flexibility for storage, hobbies, or creative pursuits. Ideally located on a quiet, tree-lined street, just moments from downtown San Rafael's restaurants, shops, parks, and vibrant community life, with convenient commuting access and an easy connection to Greenbrae and 101 via Wolfe Grade. A rare opportunity to preserve the charm of the past while creating a home for the future. There is a one car garage behind the fence with many possibilities: WFH, playroom, ADU??
