The back of this Bret Harte home faces the Southern Heights Ridge, and every room on that side of the house knows it. From the deck off the living room to the three-tiered patio along the side of the home, the views of the ridge are the kind that make you stop what you're doing. This is a home built around where it sits. The owners renovated thoughtfully when they purchased in 2012, starting with a primary suite on the lower level, complete with a new ensuite bath and walk-in closet. Upstairs, the second bathroom was fully remodeled with a freestanding tub and walk-in shower. Both bathrooms are taken to the height of luxury with heated floors. The kitchen features solid wood cabinets, a Fisher & Paykel fridge and range, and a Bosch dishwasher. Owned Tesla solar (Net Meter 2.0) keeps the energy bills in check, and french drains help keep the water away from the house. The 8,400 sq ft lot has room to breathe: a deck off the main living area, three tiers of patio off the separate kitchen door and the lower suite, two outdoor storage rooms, and paved access to additional storage beneath the home. For a four-bedroom house, the storage here is genuinely exceptional. The neighborhood is known for its quiet, hilly terrain and a community that skews toward hiking, gardening, biking, and the outdoors. Mt. Tam's 200 miles of trails are a short drive away, and freeway access keeps San Francisco well within reach. At $1,399,000, this is a rare opportunity to own a fully renovated, energy-independent home with ridge views in one of Marin's most coveted neighborhoods.

A treetop hideaway above downtown San Rafael. Tucked away as a corner unit on the top floor, this generously sized one bedroom at The Oaks wakes up to a redwood canopy outside the bedroom windows and holds onto light throughout the day through north, west and eastern exposures. With no one overhead and only one shared wall, the home enjoys a rare sense of peace and privacy. The leafy outlook carries into the living room, where an open living and dining space centers around a wood-burning fireplace and extends to a private balcony. The thoughtful remodel prioritized both material and quality. The eat-in kitchen is the centerpiece, with GE and Samsung stainless steel appliances, shaker-style solid maple cabinetry, Caesarstone quartz counters, Grohe fixtures, European tile and designer lighting. Sound-abating luxury vinyl flooring runs throughout. In-unit laundry, upgraded electrical, and central heating and A/C handle the practical side. Storage is unusually generous for a condo this size, with closets throughout plus a separate, secure storage closet in a dedicated room on the same floor. One deeded parking space in the locked, ground level garage is also included. The Oaks offers elevator access, guest parking, Amazon package lockers in the lobby, and a gated pool and clubhouse. And just beyond the trees, downtown San Rafael and some of Central Marin's favorites are within easy walking distance: coffee at Cafe del Soul, Puerto Rican at Sol Food, or a pint at Pond Farm Brewing. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are nearby for everyday errands, while Highway 101, the San Rafael Transit Center and SMART make getting around the Bay Area easy. Turnkey living from the treetops: light-filled, private, low-maintenance, and ready to move right in.
