Two adorable homes on one lot! Charming single-level main house and separate cottage (permitted ADU) with private entrance. The main home offers three bedrooms and one bathroom, thoughtfully updated and lovingly cared for over the years. Warmth and character fill every room, with the sense of a place that was truly cherished. Off the kitchen and primary bedroom, a private back deck, offers a peaceful spot for morning coffee, summer dinners, or quiet evenings outdoors. Out back, the charming one-bedroom, one-bath cottage sits fully separate from the main house, with its own private entrance and a true sense of independence. It adds wonderful flexibility, whether you envision a guest suite, home office, studio, space for extended family, or potential rental income. All of this sits in Bret Harte, one of San Rafael's most tight-knit neighborhoods, where neighbors know each other by name, wave from front porches, and gather for the small moments that make a street feel like home. Enjoy easy access to downtown San Rafael's restaurants, shops, and farmers market, along with nearby parks and quick commute routes throughout Marin. Some homes are simply loved, and you can feel it the moment you step through the gate. Tended for years by a devoted gardener, 37 Meadow Avenue is wrapped in fragrant rose bushes and a remarkable collection of fruit trees: passion fruit, lemon, orange, lime, and fig. A rare blend of charm, garden beauty, and community. Welcome home to 37 Meadow!
