Marin County Real Estate-David & Deirdre O'Brien

06/10/2026

The heart of the home is the stunningly reimagined chef's kitchen, anchored by a massive modern island that serves as the ultimate hub for daily life and entertaining. You’ll find newer appliances, recessed lighting, and original hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout the main living spaces. Every detail has been touched—from the updated baths and double-pane windows to the newer solid-core doors, an updated electrical subpanel, a new roof, newer heater, and newer A/C for those warm afternoons. This home is in excellent condition!

The versatile layout includes a comfortable family room with a fireplace directly off the kitchen, complemented by a separate formal living room, providing flexibility for entertaining or quiet relaxation.

Step outside to find a spacious, level backyard that feels like a private park. It’s a sunny oasis featuring a lush lawn, a large patio for entertaining, and established fruit trees. Plus, the extra parking pad makes hosting friends or managing a multi-car household a breeze.

Location-wise, it doesn't get much better. You’re in the highly-regarded Lucas Valley School District and just a short stroll from Scotty’s Market, Northgate, the elementary school, and Kaiser.

This is a rare off-market opportunity with a unique silver lining: the current owner has finished almost everything except the interior paint. This means you get to skip the heavy lifting of a renovation but still get the fun part—choosing your own color palette to truly make this home your own from day one.

Please contact David 415 948-3197 or Deirdre 415 948-3197 for more information or to show. Reports are underway; the home is owner-occupied.

Multiple offers were received. We went $85,000 over the listed price. We painted the interior, changed the door hardware, lightly landscaped the front and back yards, and went with highend staging. Targeted marketing and professional negotiation did the rest.
