This tranquil, picturesque, mostly level, one acre property nestled at the entrance to one of Marin County's most beloved trailheads at Baltimore Canyon Open Space Preserve was designed by award-winning, mid-century modern architect, Ian MacKinlay. Known for using glass to create wide open vistas that blur the distinction between inside and out, this home features towering walls of south-facing glass imbuing the residence with an ethereal quality, as if suspended amidst the surrounding forest. The original owners, pioneering outdoor enthusiasts, esteemed for their pivotal role in preserving the Marin Headlands from development, selected this location to build their family home due to its proximity to open space. While the home retains much of its original character and charm the recently updated kitchen/great room is modern, bright and chic with quartz counters, s/s appliances, hardwood floors and an adjacent laundry room. Designed for indoor/outdoor living the kitchen opens directly to the expansive backyard, a private and serene wonder with level lawns, a pool, garden beds and outdoor dining and gathering areas. Now, more than 60 years later, this magical property is available for the next owner to discover the joys and serenity of living amongst so much natural beauty.

Kentfield & Greenbrae

Kentfield and Greenbrae are both beautiful communities located in the hills of central Marin between Larkspur and Ross. Much like Ross, Kentfield comprises expansive estate-like homes. Kentfield and its sister community Kent Woodlands are unique in the amount of privacy that the homes have. Despite their sprawling size, many of the homes are minimally visible from the street. Hidden behind beautiful landscaping and expansive gated driveways, the homes have an air of elegance and luxury. Greenbrae’s charm comes from the wide variety of amenities available in the area, from the Bon Air Shopping Center to the path alongside Corte Madera Creek. Greenbrae has a very family-friendly feel, which is echoed in the children’s play areas incorporated into the Bon Air Shopping Center. Parents can meet for coffee at Peet’s or get their hair done at The Style Bar, while their children play right outside. The area is also ideal for children because of the excellent schools and park spaces available. The Corte Madera marsh is an asset to residents who take advantage of the beautiful waterfront running and biking trail. Also located along the creek is the Ross Valley Bay Club which is a swim and tennis club popular among residents for their various amenities including childcare services and summer camp.
