    A special waterfront offering on the shores of San Rafael Creek, Sabriski Cove is a gated waterfront enclave with a distinctly resort-like atmosphere. Comprised of just 21 residences, this hidden gem offers a rare blend of tranquility, value & waterfront living. A community dock with open boat slips available for lease provides direct access to a protected estuary & SF Bay for kayaking, paddleboarding, boating, fishing & countless opportunities to enjoy life on the water. This inviting ground-level corner end unit features 2 bedrooms & 2 baths, with captivating creekside outlooks that fill the home with natural light & serenity. Open living & dining areas are anchored by a welcoming fireplace, while glass doors open to a private deck overlooking the creek, where sailboats, motorboats & dazzling evening lights from nearby waterfront homes create a picturesque marina-like setting. A mirrored wall in the living room & mirrored-backed built-in cabinetry enhance the sense of space while reflecting natural light & adding a subtle sparkle throughout. The kitchen balances functionality with connection to the surrounding scenery. Pass-through openings preserve sightlines to the water, & white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances & open shelving create an inviting space for everyday living & entertaining. The full hall bath features blue tile inspired by the home's nautical setting. The spacious primary suite serves as a peaceful waterside retreat with its own private deck-ideal for morning coffee, yoga, or taking in tranquil waterfront views. The ensuite bath includes an open vanity area, private shower/tub & water closet, while a wall-length cedar-lined closet with built-ins provides generous storage. The 2nd bedroom offers custom shelving & a large walk-in closet. Additional conveniences include an in-unit stacked washer & dryer, storage closets on both decks & an assigned parking space directly in front of the residence. Ideally located minutes from Hwy 101 & I-580, downtown San Rafael, Whole Foods, Montecito Plaza & Andy's Market in Loch Lomond, this exceptional home offers the rare combination of waterfront living, dock access & everyday convenience. Enjoy wildlife viewing from your deck, including more than 35 species of birds, seals, otters & fish.
