A private retreat set back from the street yet close to town, this charming home is a quiet oasis. Enjoy salt air breezes, drift off at night to the peaceful sound of water flowing through the woods and wake refreshed to breakfast on your patio surrounded by greenery. Nestled within a lush garden scape on your hillside perch, you are only a few blocks away from Sir Francis Drake. This home has been a full-time residence for 25 years and is well-maintained and updated. Unique angles and natural light enhance the character of this home, which has wood floors throughout and exposed redwood ceiling beams. This home features two bedrooms, two full baths, laundry in hall closet, updated open kitchen and living room with wood burning stove. The main bedroom invites the outdoors through French doors to a small deck and has a bathroom with views of foliage and sky from its many windows in the large walk-in shower. Quality finishes include a beautiful kitchen remodel with custom cabinets and tiling. The kitchen has a double electric oven, a gas range top and views from the kitchen sink. There are level areas outside, both in sun and shade, where you can sit and relax. A detached structure was added which may serve as a home office, an art studio or an extra place for guests to stay. Everything is functional and efficient, with a new heater coming for the main house, and a new water heater for the office, both on order. Privacy, convenience and an ideal location make this a special home for someone looking to reconnect with the tranquility of rural Marin coastal living while only 35 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. It's just a quarter mile from local favorite Inverness Park Market, and minutes to downtown Point Reyes Station. Great access to hiking trails, beaches and the Golden Gate National Seashore. An ideal getaway for weekend or full-time living, this is a charming and welcoming place to live and relax.
