Welcome to this sun-drenched 3 bedroom, 2 full bath sanctuary in the heart of Terra Linda. Listed at $1,495,000 this delightful Kenney, Brookwood model has been thoughtfully updated to blend classic mid-century bones with the modern amenities today’s lifestyle demands.

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, rich wood cabinetry, 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, new roof, newer heater, and newer A/C for those warm Marin afternoons. The home is in impeccable condition. Also don’t be fooled by reference to the Brookwood model, the kitchen has been transformed, walls removed, and so does not have its original horseshoe shape.

The floor plan is as functional as it is inviting. A cozy family room with a fireplace sits right off the kitchen and on the opposite side of the kitchen sits the living room and dining area.

Step outside to find a spacious, level backyard that feels like a private park. It’s a sunny oasis featuring a lush lawn and a large patio for entertaining. There is an extra parking pad, allowing two more cars, that 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, Freitas Park, Vallecito elementary school, Mark Day School and Kaiser. The area also holds Terra Linda/Sleepy Hollow Open Space Preserve which has many great trails running through it.
