As you wind along Southern Heights you will approach 137 Martens, a home that has been loved and cared for over the years. It is a magical neighborhood in the heart of San Rafael, but tucked away behind the roar of the city.  A place anyone can love, as the sellers shared with me a story of when they were sitting on the deck for the first time, feeling nostalgic, hearing the crack of a bat at Albert Park as baseball games played. 

You are greeted by views of San Rafael and just before entering the home, there is a pleasing studio that has been used as a creative space! Inside the calm vibe continues with an open floor plan enhanced by large windows, high ceilings, skylight and hardwood floors. The home radiates character and grace with views of downtown and the hills from the expansive deck off the living space in the front and back of the house. 

Boasting comfortable living and separation of space, the main level has one bedroom with french doors leading to the deck and one bathroom. Downstairs offers an impressive  master suite with concrete floors and an elegant master bathroom. The third bedroom is just down the hall with a fun and enchanting third bathroom. 

This magical tree house is Ideally located close to San Rafael's best offerings. The trendy downtown features many great restaurants and cafes, Muffin Mania, a staple neighborhood bakery since 1983, the historical Gerstle Park, grocery stores and the San Rafael Transit Center, giving you access to the entire bay area.
