This one-of-a-kind lodge-like residence on an ~5-acre street-to-street lot is perched atop a sunny knoll in Murray Park neighborhood between bucolic Kentfield and vibrant Larkspur. Ultimate privacy, tranquility, a private entrance to King Mountain Loop, an intimate connection with nature and serene views of the valley, watershed and the bay just 2-3 mins from Magnolia Ave! A unique opportunity to enjoy this custom-built by a local architect/original owner Oscar Swall (unverified) turn-key property or take it to its full potential whatever your vision might be. Many important upgrades over the years including connecting to public water/sewer, newly paved driveway, retaining wall & more.

The minute you step inside it feels like you are in a mountain chalet graced with rustic elegance, modern sophistication and charm. Dramatic architectural details, reclaimed hand-hewn old-growth redwood and cedar beams & solid timbers add to the esthetics as well as the structural integrity of the house built to last with rare quality of material. Walls of glass throughout and ample natural light. Four bedrooms and three full bathrooms are in the main house plus a studio guest cottage filled with vintage character and gorgeous views. Open floor plan with a sun-filled family room adjacent to the kitchen that is sleek and generously-sized with a center island, blue eyes granite countertops, custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. A semi-formal elegant dining room and a state-of-the art living room with views in all directions and a cozy gas fireplace. All three bedrooms including two primary suites are also on the main level. The fourth bedroom/guest suite is on the lower level with its own full bathroom, media/rec room, a wet bar, an outdoor spa and a separate entrance. Comfortable and versatile floor plan with the possibility to live on a single level with no stairs to the front door. Several great storage solutions including a bicycle shed and a garden equipment shed. A nice dog run enclosure and more.

This property is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. Enjoy this beautiful turn-key property with countless sunsets and sunrises, create a family compound, or subdivide the lot into separate buildable parcels. Feels like a world away yet minutes from award-winning Kentfield/Larkspur schools, arguably the best biking and hiking trails, vibrant downtown Larkspur with some of Marin's premier restaurants and shops, Woodlands Market, Rustic Bakery, The Guest House and Half Day Cafe, College of Marin, Bon Air Plaza, Marin General Hospital and Larkspur Landing Ferry to San Francisco!

P.S. According to Ed Gibson from The Homestead Property Inspections: "The materials to build this dwelling were far greater quality & size than what is readily available today and the structure was "over-built" as compared to typical residential construction."

about this

Neighborhood

The property is conveniently located between vibrant Larkspur and bucolic Kentfield. Minutes to historic downtown Larkspur and the center of Kentfield with some of the premier Marin restaurants & shops: Picco, Perry’s, Left Bank, Emporio Rulli, Farm House Local, Backstage Wine, Equator coffee, Boichik Bagels, The Guest house, Half Day Cafe and more. Award-winning schools, parks, hiking trails, Bay Club, Bon Air Center, Marin General Hospital are within minutes. Easy access to San Francisco through Larkspur ferry and Highway 101. The city of Kentfield and Kent Woodlands are unincorporated county areas. If Kentfield had a social center, it would probably be Woodlands Market that hosts a community barbecue with all funds raised benefiting the Kentfield School District. Both Bacich Elementary and Kent Middle Schools have been named “California Distinguished Schools". Regarding high schools, students living in Kentfield have several nearby to choose from. The public high school is Redwood (also a California Distinguished School) in Larkspur; close-by private high schools include Branson, Marin Catholic, and Marin Academy. Arguably the best weather in Marin.
