Perched above the Marina Highlands enclave sits a special 1940s split-level property with ever-changing and expansive views, vintage character, and midcentury modern appeal. Bathed in all-day sunlight and framed by tree-lined streets, it's the kind of home where morning light is cast into sunny corners and bedroom windows frame canyon views. The open and flexible living spaces are lined with picture windows and anchored by a clay-tiled fireplace. Two bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms are complimented by period details lovingly preserved throughout. A Merrill & O'Keefe vintage stove, original casement windows, and black-and-white tile flooring nod to the home's heritage, while the layout provides a spacious and easy flow. Multiple outdoor spaces on the street-to-street lot offer a place to feel centered and creative, with plenty of room for gardening, play, and entertaining. A spacious, two-car garage and workshop, along with basement storage, laundry, and solar panels add utility. The home offers both privacy and connection, where kids learn to ride bikes on the street and neighbors are out walking their dogs, yet minutes away from downtown San Rafael, China Camp trails, Marin Yacht Club, McNears Beach, Whole Foods, and Andy's Market. Easy commute to SF.
