Located on a tree-lined street in San Rafael's desirable Bret Harte neighborhood, this single-level ranch-style residence offers comfortable living, abundant natural light, and a highly convenient location close to downtown San Rafael, parks, schools, shopping, transportation, hiking, and biking trails. The approximately 1,184 square foot home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage with additional RV or boat parking. The exterior front door opens to an unexpected breezeway entry offering a thoughtfully designed and unique open-air transitional space that leads to the lovely backyard, the main entrance to the home, and the garage, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living from the moment of arrival. Freshly painted interiors, rich brown hardwood flooring, and numerous windows create a lovely ambience throughout the home. The light-filled living room enjoys expansive windows overlooking the charming enclave, and a wood-burning fireplace adds a feeling of warmth and coziness to the main social spaces. The dining area flows naturally between the kitchen and living room, creating an effortless layout for everyday living and entertaining. A skylight and crisp white cabinetry brighten the kitchen, while stainless-steel appliances and a window framing the peaceful residential street add to its appeal. The primary suite includes an en-suite bathroom and tranquil verdant views, and the two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, family, or work-from-home needs. A second bathroom is conveniently located off the hallway for both guests and everyday use. The wonderful private backyard is equally inviting and boasts a level turfed lawn and a setting that backs to a greenbelt, creating a tranquil backdrop for entertaining, play, or relaxation. Just minutes from Bret Harte Park, the community's social center, the property offers an appealing combination of privacy, convenience, and classic mid-century charm in one of San Rafael's most established neighborhoods.
