Nestled down a private road, this serene Fairfax sanctuary is a rare find in one of Marin's most coveted locales. The home centers around a light-filled living area featuring soaring ceilings and tall windows that frame picturesque hillside views. A newly updated kitchen boasts fresh countertops, floating wood shelves, and walk-in pantry, while a generous bonus room also on the main level offers abundant storage and additional living space. Rounding out the interior, three bedrooms are complemented by a separate flex room with its own exterior entry, perfectly suited for a creative studio, home theater, or potential ADU. Outdoors, an entertaining deck opens to 2.25 acres of expansive, wooded grounds brimming with untapped potential and room to grow. All remarkably close to the best of Marin, minutes from epic trails at Mount Tamalpais, the serenity of Phoenix and Bon Tempe Lakes, and coastal day trips to Point Reyes and Tomales Bay. When it is time to connect downtown Fairfax is just moments away with its eclectic charm, farm-to-table dining, festivals, and live music. With a prime location and endless possibility, this special haven is ready for its next chapter. Welcome home to 397 Olema Road.
