On the edge of the Mount Tamalpais Watershed open space, famous for hiking and mountain biking, this spectacular ridgetop home feels far from civilization, yet moments from the vibrant town of Fairfax. An oleander-lined driveway welcomes you to an impressive historic two-story home, poised on two lots spanning nearly 4… Read More acres of private ridgeline buffered from neighbors and the world. The home features an open, airy remodeled kitchen and dining area with high beamed ceilings, original paned windows and French doors, with the strong bones and charm of a 1930s build with modern additions. Gentle breezes and golden hour light fill the chef's kitchen for casual evenings, cooking with friends, or family dinners served indoors, on the deck, or picnic on the ridge. Birds fly at eye level past three separate balconies, each with panoramic views of wooded terrain and breathtaking orange and magenta sunsets. A generous living room centered with a wood-burning fireplace transports you to an earlier era with its sturdy, rough-hewn beams. With indoor-outdoor living at every turn, the front entry showcases an enchanting patio and Japanese-inspired garden under the shade of a towering cypress tree. Upstairs bedrooms occupy their own wing, keeping family life separate from entertaining. Beyond the home's original footprint, an enormous addition opens first into a sunny atrium suited for a home gym or artist atelier. It continues into the great room with picture windows and skylights, perfect for a bright work-from-home studio space or family room complete with walk-in closet. A large redwood deck with hot tub overlooks raised planter beds, surrounded by apple, fig, peach, and apricot trees. A mature olive grove provides privacy in a pet-safe fenced-in yard, adjacent to open space in your own private park-like setting. A canopy of madrone, pine, oak, and eucalyptus trees lines the ridge, for long evening strolls or endless childhood play in this remarkable natural setting. The two separate parcels and generous parking make this property prime for building out a family compound, ADU, or future development. The ferry to downtown San Francisco, Marin's beaches, Point Reyes National Seashore, Mount Tamalpais, Muir Woods, and wine country are all close at hand. This unmatched ridgetop location, far from neighbors, tucked away at the end of a private road, is ideal for those seeking country life with excellent public schools, a thriving community in a lively small town.
