12 Estates Court

Tucked into the heart of Gerstle Park, 12 Estates Court is a storybook cottage oozing with charm set well back from the street behind a generous front yard of mature plantings that gives the home a presence and privacy far beyond its footprint. Inside, the living room flows seamlessly onto a deck that opens to sweeping hillside views, blurring the line between indoors and out and giving the cottage an easy, expansive quality that makes it live large. The deck is the natural center of daily life here equally good for morning coffee or long al fresco dinners while below, a graveled terrace is sized perfectly for a fire-pit. A fully fenced yard with fruit trees completes the picture: front yard to back, this home offers the kind of layered outdoor living that feels rare and special. The kitchen is well-appointed with eco-friendly Vetrazzo countertops, ceramic backsplash, and maple cabinetry. Fresh paint throughout and new bedroom carpet complete a home that is genuinely move-in ready, warm in character, and easy to love from day one. Tree-lined streets, a tight-knit community, downtown San Rafael moments away, and Marin's finest trails just beyond the door. Located in the highly-rated Sun Valley School District. A rare find, and a lovely place to land.
