A truly rare legacy estate in Larkspur, this hilltop property captures sweeping views of Mount Tam and is set on approximately three-quarters of an acre surrounded by majestic oaks and serene privacy.

Originally designed in 1926 by a protégé of Bernard Maybeck, this Craftsman residence has been thoughtfully transformed for modern living while preserving the architectural integrity and period charm that make it so special.

The expansive formal living room features soaring ceilings, a fireplace, and a dramatic wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors that frame the stunning Mount Tam backdrop. Natural light pours into the interiors, creating a warm and inspiring atmosphere throughout.

The kitchen has been completely reimagined for serious at home chefs, offering high-end appliances, an island for casual dining, and a formal dining area that looks out to the backyard, pool, and gardens. The formal dining room, with its impressive scale and ceiling height, is the perfect setting for family gatherings and special occasions.

This single-level home offers three ensuite bedrooms and a half bathroom, including a luxurious primary suite with a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, dual vanities, and a spacious walk-in shower.

The grounds evoke the feeling of wine country living, with meandering pathways and generous, level areas designed for recreation and relaxation. The backyard is a private retreat, complete with a newly refinished pool, expansive deck, patio, lawn, hot tub, along with ample space for gardening and outdoor pursuits.

A separate ADU also provides exceptional flexibility as a guest house, featuring a voluminous great room with a full kitchen, plus a bedroom and bathroom. It is ideal for long-term guests, returning college students, or an au pair.

Opportunities to own this much land and privacy, just moments from town, are exceedingly rare. This is Marin living at its finest, where natural beauty, thoughtful design, and convenience come together in a truly extraordinary setting.

The spectacular natural beauty of the scenery in Larkspur provides an enticing backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, bikers and Redwood tree lovers. Larkspur is home to a 193-acre nature preserve called Baltimore Canyon, which features a 30-foot waterfall called Dawn Falls. Janis Joplin and Jerry Garcia both owned homes near the Dawn Falls Trail.
