Welcome to 312 Fairhills Drive, an architecturally significant contemporary residence that balances modern design within the prestigious Fairhills neighborhood. This home features an airy living room with soaring two-story beamed ceilings and a towering fireplace that serve as the heart of the home, while the mature landscaping offers privacy and an exceptional California coastal retreat feel. The south-facing orientation ensures the interior is washed in natural light throughout the day, maximizing spectacular panoramic views from Mt. Tamalpais to the city. Inside, the home emphasizes a sense of volume and texture with hardwood floors and clean modern lines. The updated kitchen is designed for both daily use and entertaining, flowing seamlessly into the first of two family rooms where the indoor-outdoor flow is effortless and the connection to the scenery is constant. The layout is highly functional, featuring five bedrooms plus a bonus room and three and a half baths. Ample unique space throughout provide versatility for modern living, offering plenty of room for work, play, or relaxation in tucked-away, quiet corners. The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, complete with a romantic fireplace, walk in closet and a deck overlooking the rolling hills. Downstairs, a flexible living space with its own separate entrance offers a quiet area for a gym, studio, playroom, or guest suite away from the main living quarters. Throughout the residence, windows frame the landscape, creating a gallery-like feel and drawing the beauty of the gardens inside. The grounds continue the theme of seclusion with lush gardens and a level lawn. You can spend time on the sun-drenched decks or in the spa, all positioned to take advantage of the southern exposure and sweeping views. While this sanctuary feels completely private, it is conveniently located near scenic hiking trails and the vibrant shopping, dining, and entertainment of downtown San Rafael. The home also offers an ideal location for easy access to major commute destinations and community events, providing a rare combination of modern architecture and functional space in a private San Rafael setting. Welcome Home!
