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.
