130 Montezuma Avenue

Set in a quiet corner of the San Geronimo Valley, at the doorstep of some of Marin County's most treasured natural landscapes, 130 Montezuma offers a rare blend of charm and tranquility that makes you feel instantly at home. As you step through the gate, the enchanting garden grounds unfold before you, where pathways lead through the property to the three-bedroom, one-bath, single-level home. Situated at the heart of a flat and private .26-acre lot, you'll find abundant space for gardening, entertaining, play, and simply enjoying the peaceful setting. Inside, natural light pours through the living room windows, illuminating the hardwood floors and creating a seamless connection between the home and outdoor spaces. The home is framed on either side by stunning newer Ipe decks, thoughtfully extending the living spaces. The larger of the two is accessed directly from both the living room and primary bedroom and offers a private retreat or gathering space, complete with a hot tub and an outdoor shower. On the opposite side of the home, a sliding glass door from the kitchen opens to a second Ipe deck, creating another natural extension of the living space and connecting the home to a fully finished detached outbuilding. Perfectly suited for a home office, artist's studio, or creative space, it adds a wonderful layer of flexibility to the property. A seasonal creek meanders through the property, adding an especially magical connection to the surrounding landscape and, on occasion, the remarkable sight of salmon right in your own backyard. At the rear of the property, an automatic gate opens to private off-street parking and a second finished outbuilding, previously used as a workshop and offering additional space for storage, projects, or creative pursuits. And while the setting feels wonderfully removed, 130 Montezuma is remarkably connected, just 10 minutes from Fairfax, 30 minutes from some of West Marin's most spectacular beaches and National Seashore, and under an hour from both San Francisco and Wine Country. Private, peaceful, and full of character, find this increasingly rare balance of a true sense of retreat with so much of what makes Marin special within easy reach.
