Perched on 1.86 acres in the heart of San Rafael, this 1937 estate is a rare synthesis of timeless architecture and modern refinement. The home exudes warmth and personality, with spaces that feel simultaneously intimate and grand, where every corner tells a story.
The main residence features five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, with a family room, office, den, and formal dining room. Architectural details—open-beam ceilings, metal-paned doors, and verandas off the family room and kitchen—recall the elegance of its era, while thoughtful upgrades such as air conditioning, a steam shower, and two laundry rooms provide contemporary convenience. The chef’s kitchen is a study in both utility and style, anchored by a Wolf range, Miele coffee maker, dual refrigerators with refrigerator drawers, microwave, dual dishwashers, and a butler’s pantry, ready for both casual mornings and grand entertaining. A dedicated wine area and abundant storage complete the interior.
Outdoors, the estate becomes a private resort. A lighted tennis court, sparkling pool with electric cover, pool house with full bath and outdoor shower, children’s play area, and lush gardens including vegetable plots and fruit trees create a lifestyle of leisure and beauty. Two gated entrances and a three-car garage ensure privacy and convenience.
The dramatic 3,100-square-foot studio/second structure elevates the estate’s versatility. With soaring ceilings, polished concrete floors, skylights, wet bar, one-and-a-half baths, and a private entrance, it is ideal as a creative studio, guest residence, or entertainment retreat—an artful modern counterpoint to the historic main house.
This estate is not like every other property. It is warm, inviting, and full of vignettes—a home designed to be lived in, loved, and remembered.
