About this property
Luxury 3BR/3BA San Rafael Getaway • Decks & Views
Light-filled, luxury 3BR/3BA San Rafael hillside getaway with private decks & valley views. Spacious home with curated décor and serene, private setting between San Francisco and Wine Country. Enjoy seamless indoor–outdoor living in the desirable Dominican neighborhood. Walk to Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s, minutes to downtown San Rafael, beaches, hiking trails, wineries, dining, and shopping—perfect for relaxing escapes or scenic Marin adventures.
The space
Welcome to this beautifully curated, centrally located home in San Rafael, Marin County. Tucked into a tranquil, tree-lined hillside, this residence offers a rare combination of privacy, walkability, and refined comfort—just steps from restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences.
The home features three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two spacious balconies, ideal for
relaxing, dining, or enjoying the surrounding natural beauty.
Perfectly positioned between San Francisco and Wine Country and near top-rated Marin County schools, this light-filled hillside retreat offers sweeping valley views from nearly every room. Mature trees and thoughtful landscaping offer exceptional privacy, while expansive decks on both levels create seamless indoor–outdoor living.
Elegant double French doors open from the dining area onto the upper deck, inviting fresh air and open flow for entertaining or quiet mornings. The primary suite features double French doors that open to panoramic views—an extraordinary backdrop enjoyed directly from the California king sleigh bed.
A peaceful brick patio garden showcases curated botanical varietals. Inside, the home reflects classic, understated luxury: original art, antique accents, European furnishings, and vaulted, beamed ceilings throughout. Every detail has been intentionally designed to create a calm, elevated, and welcoming atmosphere.
