409 Summit Dr

Built in 1975 with a castle-inspired design, this home has been thoughtfully modernized by the current owners to enhance its impressive scale, featuring high ceilings and abundant natural light throughout. The residence beautifully combines bold rustic beams, original wood ceilings, and arched brick elements with contemporary touches, creating a cozy yet airy atmosphere. The expansive open floor plan provides excellent versatility for various uses of space. The grand great room, with its towering walls of glass, seamlessly connects to the mostly level grounds, offering nearly 360-degree views.

Features include a Tesla Roof, 3 Tesla Powerwalls, and a 12k solar system, ensuring energy efficiency and sustainability. The 0.8-acre grounds include an outdoor entertaining gazebo with firepit & barbecue, and multiple decks for entertaining. There is also a fenced level lawn and meandering paths for play and exploration. The views are unparalleled, showcasing the sweeping Bay and San Francisco skyline, framed by Mt. Tamalpais and the East Bay Hills. This 3,145 square foot home is gated, exceptionally quiet, and very private, and it sits conveniently next to the trailhead for the 630-acre renowned Blithedale Summit Preserve, one of Marin's favorite playgrounds.
