There is one bedroom and bath on the main level, and an additional bedroom, bathroom, and family room on the lower level.

The kitchen and dining room open to an expansive Ipe deck with views of Mt Tam, leading to a backyard sanctuary with a hot tub, dry sauna, outdoor shower, and spaces to gather or simply relax under the fruit trees and gardens. A detached cottage with a half bath, two storage rooms, and generous parking add to the ease of living here.

Step out your door and onto a nearby path for a short stroll or bike ride into Larkspur’s historic downtown, where you’ll find Equator Coffee, Picco Pizza, Perry’s, and the beloved Lark Theater.
