Property Description

There are houses you admire, and then there are homes that immediately wrap you in warmth and history. Sited on an expansive, sunny ~11,859 sqft lot between two of Marin's most beloved towns, 1649 San Anselmo Avenue is a rare vintage treasure. Lovingly stewarded and cherished by the same family for over 30 years, this enchanting 1912 residence effortlessly pairs rich architectural character with airy, modern indoor-outdoor flow. From its storybook curb appeal and wrap-around greenery to its warm, wood-beamed ceilings and secluded backyard sanctuary, this is a home with true pulse and heart. The magic begins at the curb, where a picturesque brick pathway winds past a majestic, century-old Redwood tree and leads up to an expansive, slate-tiled porch. Step inside to discover over 2,800 square feet of character-rich living space adorned with crystal doorknobs and graceful moldings. The main level centers around a sun-filled living room anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, while a dramatic family room impresses with soaring vaulted wood-paneled ceilings, exposed beams, and a second fireplace. At the center of everyday gathering is a spacious kitchen equipped with a quartz island, overhead skylight, and a professional Wolf range, flowing right into a spacious dining area designed for effortless entertaining. Thoughtfully tailored for flexible routines, the main floor also hosts a peaceful en suite primary bedroom with French doors opening outdoors, as well as a second bedroom ideal for a home office that opens to the front porch. Upstairs, three charming, treehouse-like bedrooms feature vaulted dormer ceilings and timber accents. Outside, the private grounds unfold into an enchanting retreat complete with stone patios, level play space, a shaded dining pergola, a soothing fountain, and a secluded hot tub to take in the night stars. Modern updates bring ease to everyday living, including central A/C, a 3-car carport with EV charging outlet, and extensive bonus storage space, including a huge basement with 8ft ceilings. Beyond the property itself lies a dream Marin lifestyle, placed in the flats of a lovely community just moments from both downtown San Anselmo and Fairfax, local cafes, fabulous dining, renowned hiking trails, and top-tier schools in the Ross Valley School District and Archie Williams High School. Beautifully preserved, deeply cherished, and completely unforgettablewelcome home to 1649 San Anselmo Avenue.
