Perched above the sparkling waters of San Francisco Bay in San Rafael, this magnificent multi-level Marin home delivers the ultimate California living experience. A dramatic pergola-covered entry walkway sets the tone the moment you arrive, leading... to grand double doors that open into a soaring interior where vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and walls of white-framed windows frame jaw-dropping Bay and treetop views from nearly every room. The sun-drenched great room stuns with gleaming hardwood floors, a sleek modern fireplace, and a whimsical cascade of colorful glass pendant lights. The chef's kitchen is a showpiece: white cabinetry, dramatic gold-veined granite countertops and a matching full-height backsplash, dual skylights, a center island with gas cooktop, built-in stainless refrigerator, double ovens, wine refrigerator, and a charming bay-windowed breakfast nook overlooking the trees. A second brick fireplace anchors the lower-level family room, which opens directly to one of several outdoor decks. The primary suite is wrapped in windows with a generous built-in dressing area and a luxurious marble bathroom featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity. Additional bedrooms are bright and well-sized, with ample closet storage and garden views. A dedicated home office with floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry, a full laundry room with sink, and a spacious pantry with wine rack complete the package. Outside, the grounds are simply extraordinary: terraced gardens bursting with roses, rhododendrons, agaves, and succulents wind along stone pathways past an artificial turf lawn with peeking Bay views. A dramatic exterior spiral staircase connects the levels. Three-car garage completes this rare Marin gem. MLS#326030031 Read More
