Light pours in from multi-light windows throughout the home. Every aspect of the home exudes old world charm which when combined with the modern amenities, this home is a rare find in Marin.
Three sets of French doors open the entire living area up to the outdoor lounge area and yard making this a true entertainer’s dream home. The indoor/outdoor livability is phenomenal. The lounge area is complete with a gas fireplace, full sitting area, and a hidden mechanical outdoor TV that you can enjoy with the click of a button. Cooking for family and groups small or large is a breeze with a built-in outdoor kitchen fitted with a sink, kegerator, and stainless steel grill. A level grass area and cute custom playhouse complete the yard as an entertainment destination. Walking up from the yard one finds a lush vegetable or flower garden perfect for growing your own organic food. There is gated access to the serene biking/walking path which leads to downtown Corte Madera’s shops and restaurants.
