The Ultimate Flexible Compound in San Anselmo: A Charming Main Cottage Plus Two Detached Lifestyle Studios Embrace a rare way of living in Marin with this enchanting, sun-drenched property that offers unmatched flexibility for the modern family. Positioned on a beautifully landscaped parcel between downtown San Anselmo and Fairfax, this property is the ultimate "choose-your-own-adventure" estateperfect for those seeking a multi-generational compound, a premier work-from-home setup, or a savvy way to offset a mortgage with built-in income. The Main Residence: A Light-Filled Sanctuary The heart of the property is a delightful 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage that exudes classic Marin charm. Inside, pitched ceilings and warm wood floors create an airy, expansive feel across the main living spaces. The cottage features its own private outdoor living areas, a one-car garage, and a massive basement below offering incredible storage and laundry facilities. The Bonus Studios: Work, Stay, or Earn In addition to the main home, two bright and welcoming detached studios offer a level of versatility that is incredibly rare to find: The High-End WFH Setup: Designate one or both as quiet, professional home offices entirely separate from the main house. The Family Flex Space: Ideal for an upscale home gym, an art studio, a private guest suite, or a independent space for extended family and young adults. The Financial Superpower: Currently occupied by lovely tenants, these units can continue to generate substantial monthly revenue, serving as a massive subsidy toward your monthly mortgage. A Magical Garden Footprint Outside, the grounds unfurl into a lush, multi-tiered oasis filled with mature trees and flowering plants. A meandering path connects a series of private spaces, including a shaded hammock retreat near the fig tree, hidden garden patios, and a dedicated sun deck for one of the studios. Whether you utilize the entire footprint as a private family compound or let the existing tenants help pay your property down, this is a unique, high-value asset in a premier, pedestrian-friendly location close to top schools, local transit, and vibrant downtown dining.
