Property Description

Los Ranchitos

Exclusively sited on a 1+ acre site with hillside views, this unspoiled, mid-century vintage home offers unending possibilities for modernization or the fabrication of your new “Dream Home.” Originally constructed in 1960 and occupied by the original owners, it has remained true to its original design and therefore is a prime candidate for a modernizing transformation. Over the years, the owners added the lower level with a separate entrance, ideal for an ADU, home office, or guest quarters.

The potential for development presents itself to the new owner to optionally increase exposure, view, size, orientation, and landscaping on the gorgeous private, spacious grounds so cherished by those who seek and inhabit the pastoral, peaceful “Los Ranchitos,” long appreciated for its large lots and easy lifestyle. Enjoy mild summer nights on the various patios and level zones, encompassing the generous parcel, tucked away in a private setting.

There are 3+ bedrooms, 2 baths, a formal step-down living room, kitchen/family room combination, each with a floor-to-ceiling concrete fireplace, servicing both areas. There is a laundry room and outdoor access to decks and the expansive grounds.

The lower level, with a separate entrance, consists of a bedroom, office, living room, kitchen, and a bathroom.

“Los Ranchitos,” a neighborhood with a refreshing pastoral ambiance and numerous estate properties, is only a few moments’ drive to downtown San Rafael, famed Marin Civic Center and the popular Farmer’s Market, La Toscana Restaurant, China Camp State Park, and offers a leisurely, scenic ride to the famed Sonoma and Napa Wine Country.
