Perched above the vibrant heart of the Marin Circle, this 1930 Tudor Revival is a hidden gem with many rewards. Yes, there are stairs [think Blue Zone] and they lead to sweeping views, timeless charm, and a location that’s hard to beat. With an 80 Walk Score, you’re just moments from local parks, shops, and cafes. Inside, the home offers 3 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 1,904 sq. ft. of beautifully updated living space that blends classic elegance with modern comfort. A rare find that feels both elevated and connected. Rich hardwood floors, mahogany woodwork, and elegant light fixtures create warmth and character throughout, while the grand staircase and generous room sizes offer a sense of space and flow. The freshly remodeled kitchen features artisanal Sartoria Materici tile and a cozy breakfast nook tucked into a bay window. The living room features a gas fireplace and panoramic outlooks that make it equally suited for quiet evenings or game nights with friends. Modern comforts abound: an EV charger, undergrounded utilities to preserve those uninterrupted views, an attached 2-car garage, ample storage, and a flexible bonus room. With glorious views, proximity to both the Gourmet Ghetto and Solano Avenue, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. PSL Compliant.
