A Private Sanctuary Reimagined by Douglas Burnham of A+D Envelope

Located near the beginning of a quiet dead-end street below Mt. Tamalpais, this beautifully reimagined home offers a rare combination of architectural sophistication and true privacy, without the tradeoffs of a steep hillside setting. Set behind a private gate on a flat, park-like .57-acre lot that is basked in the sun with options to cool off in the shade of mature trees. the property is fully screened from neighbors, giving it the feel of a private retreat just minutes from town.

Reimagined by acclaimed architect Douglas Burnham, the home showcases bespoke finishes and custom cabinetry throughout, blending clean architectural lines with warm, livable detail. With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across two thoughtfully arranged levels, the home offers flexibility for family living, work-from-home life, and effortless entertaining.

The main level features an open-concept kitchen and dining area with sweeping views of the Marin hillside, flowing into a formal living room anchored by a fireplace. The primary suite opens to its own private patio—a quiet retreat for morning coffee or evening wind-down. This level also includes two additional bedrooms (one currently configured as a library) and a bathroom featuring a striking trough sink.

Downstairs, a spacious rec room opens directly to the backyard, flanked by two more bedrooms and a full bath—perfect for guests, teens, or multigenerational living.

Outside, the home is designed for resort-style living. The expansive flagstone pool deck is an entertainer's dream, complete with a barbecue and raised garden beds for true farm-to-table alfresco dinners poolside. As the day winds down, friends can gather around the fire pit to warm up after an afternoon in the sun. In back, the private yard offers even more room to garden, unwind, or simply enjoy the mature landscaping.

The oversized garage has been thoughtfully converted into a fully insulated, HVAC-equipped home gym, and a second one-car garage adds further flexibility for storage or hobbies.

Ideally located with a short distance to local schools, the bike path, and the amenities of Larkspur, this is a home for those who value both connection and seclusion—room to breathe, entertain, and truly live outdoors, all
