About This Home

Set on 2.8 AC, this home offers a peaceful retreat in a coveted setting. Warm, welcoming interiors span more than 3,700 SF across a multi-level floorplan, blending rustic character with an easy livability that harmonizes with the surrounding landscape. A soaring vaulted ceiling elevates the living room anchored by a fireplace and expansive windows framing views that reach toward the Stanford Dish, while the main living spaces also include a formal dining room, granite kitchen with Thermador appliances, a comfortable family room with a fireplace, and a lower-level recreation room. Five bedrooms plus an office provide flexibility and comfort. With nearby access to scenic nature preserves and trailheads, a short drive to the Ladera Country Shopper shopping center and local favorites such as Alpine Inn, this home offers a rare balance of seclusion and convenience, all with access to acclaimed schools including Ormondale and Corte Madera (buyer to verify eligibility).
