The Story
225 prospect drive
This story book cottage is tucked on a leafy hillside and is a vintage charmer that has been thoughtfully maintained. A gated stairway leads up from the driveway to the covered brick front porch. Upon entering you you are welcomed by warm hardwood floors, a wide picture window frames treetops and blue sky, and a river-rock fireplace anchors the room, the kind of period detail you simply can't build new. An arched opening leads to the dining room, and the kitchen beyond features vintage tile alongside a gas range. Outside is where this property truly distinguishes itself. A generous flagstone patio wraps from the front porch around the side of the house opening to sweeping views. A mature pomegranate tree shades one corner, fencing gives the whole space and large yard privacy, and there's ample room for dining, lounging, and gardening. The property has a separate carport and a spacious open-beam workshop and storage area with vintage redwood framing and a concrete floor offer options for a hobbyist, a home gym, or a future project. Move-in ready, full of soul, and minutes to downtown San Rafael, Highway 101, and Marin's trails and open space.
