466 BRET HARTE ROAD, San Rafael — Beautifully remodeled for today’s modern living, this 3 BR/3BA spectacular single-level home is ideally located on a private lane in San Rafael’s Bret Harte Heights neighborhood. With stunning views of the bay and the Richmond San Rafael bridge from almost every room, this thoughtfully-designed home has it all: privacy, views, a great floorplan, indoor/outdoor flow and convenient access to downtown and Hwy 101.
466 Bret Harte Road offers an open floor plan with high vaulted ceilings, sleek hardwood floors and views from almost every room. Two of the bedrooms, the office, and two of the bathrooms are at one end of the home, while the large master suite with en suite bathroom is at the opposite end, affording complete privacy and separation.
The open living / dining / kitchen area serves as the central heart of the home, connecting the two bedroom wings. It opens onto a large deck with stunning east-facing views of the bay and the Richmond San Rafael bridge. The home is ideal for entertaining, opening to a private garden with level lawn on one side and a spacious view deck on the other.
The chef’s kitchen is open to the living and dining areas, and features high-end stainless Thermador appliances, subway tile backsplash, quartz countertops and sleek, modern cabinetry with ample storage. The center island serves as an ideal place for food preparation and casual dining and entertaining. The dining area looks out onto the front garden / level lawn area, as well as out to the bay.
Almost every room of the home offers a stunning east-facing view of the bay and the Richmond San Rafael Bridge. A large deck provides plenty of room for entertaining and outdoor dining.
The spacious master suite features walls of windows on two sides looking out onto the bay as well as the surrounding tranquil woodland. Electric shades can be used to reveal a gorgeous sunrise or allow a little extra time sleeping in. Sliding doors allow easy access to the view deck just off the master. There’s plenty of storage with two generously-sized closets.
The en-suite master bath boasts a walk-in shower with glass surround, dual sinks and custom tilework. There’s even a view of the Richmond San Rafael Bridge from the shower!
Located at the opposite end of the home, the second master suite also features a modern en-suite bathroom, with filtered views of the bay and the bridge. It is conveniently located next to the study as well as the third bedroom, which share a full bath off the hallway.
Ideally situated on a private drive with only 3 other homes allowing quick access to Highway 101 and an easy commute to San Francisco. Please contact Thomas at 415-847-5584 for a private viewing.
The Bret Harte Heights neighborhood of San Rafael is located just minutes from Highway 101, downtown San Rafael, and the Bonaire Shopping Center in Greenbrae, yet feels like a world apart. Lot sizes in this neighborhood tend to be very large — some up to 1.5 acres — with an abundance of trees. Residents love the views of the bay in one direction and Mt. Tamalpais in the other, depending which side of Bret Harte Road you are on. The road is reminiscent of a winding country lane and serves as the main street for Bret Harte Heights, and you’ll often see walkers and bikers, especially during the early morning and late afternoon.
I love living in Bret Harte Heights and am happy to answer any questions you may have about the neighborhood. I hope to welcome you to our private enclave!
San Rafael is Marin’s oldest and largest city, with a population of close to 60,000 people. Established in 1874, it is the seat of the County of Marin and is home to Marin’s second most popular tourist destination (after Muir Woods), the Frank Lloyd Wright Civic Center. The building was the last major structure and the only government building designed by the world famous architect. It is now a national historic landmark and hosts one of the country’s best farmers markets each Thursday (seasonal, downtown) and Sunday (year-round).
Named after the Mission San Rafael Archangel, built by Spanish missionaries in 1817, San Rafael is located 11 miles north of San Francisco. The area enjoys some of the best weather in Marin as it is largely free of the coastal fog that areas closer to San Francisco experience. At the city’s heart is its charming, vibrant downtown shopping district which is a mixture of Victorian commercial buildings, ethnic restaurants, street cafes, retail stores, a historic movie theater and numerous music venues, giving San Rafael its hometown flavor.
