A Rare Waterfront Ark in the Heart of Larkspur
Overview
A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind waterfront property just steps away from Downtown Larkspur. 7 Boardwalk One, a vintage 1894 ark, relocated and restored by Phil Frank, a renowned cartoonist best known for his character Farley, sits directly on the water with serene lagoon views, a private dock and the kind of relaxed, sun-drenched lifestyle that defines the very best of Marin living. Boardwalk One is the last surviving historic waterfront community in Larkspur, originating in the 1850s as floating "arks" for logging workers along Corte Madera Creek. Nearly a century later, this beloved enclave has evolved into a private, close-knit community — its historic soul intact and its location unbeatable.
The home's interiors include dramatic exposed wood beam ceilings, original wood floors, wood wainscoting, and abundant natural light pouring through French doors and skylights that frame the water at every turn. A generous living/dining area is the anchor of the home with direct access to multiple deck levels. Outdoors, the property shines — a large pergola-covered deck with raised garden beds sets the scene for entertaining, while a private dock on the lagoon provides easy access to kayaking or paddleboarding. With expansive decks, glorious natural light, and a richly layered interior of original character, this is truly a special property. All of this is just steps from Larkspur's award-winning restaurants, beloved boutiques, the historic Lark Theater, the brand new Larkspur Library and the renowned bike path — making 7 Boardwalk One the ultimate expression of waterfront living in one of Marin's most sought-after downtown communities.
