Located in Marin's best kept secret waterfront neighborhood, this home exudes East Coast charm and easy-breezy beach living. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are in the main residence, along with spacious great room with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, open kitchen with tons of counter space and storage, and practical dining area - all of which are on the main level, making for nearly single-level living - plus separate family room downstairs that opens to a large, flat lawn, and detached ADU with kitchenette and full bath; this home is ideal for modern living.
Lovingly remodeled from top to bottom, a nearly whole house remodel was just completed in 2024. Thoughtful details include addition of a foyer that is as welcoming as it is functional, new hardwood oak flooring, new energy efficiency windows throughout, new appliances, designer light fixtures, installation of a gas-insert fireplace in the great room, a completely renovated full bathroom with Domino Magazine worthy style and heated floor, bedrooms with custom cabinetry and tons of storage/fun loft space + construction of a brand new detached ADU that serves as the 4th bedroom with full bath, chic concrete flooring, kitchenette and tons of storage, making it ideal for guests, au pair, home office, gym, etc. The kitchen and dining area was also previously remodeled and opens to a pretty flagstone terrace that invites long, lingering meals with family and friends in this temperate climate.
Also built for supreme indoor-outdoor living, the landscaping at 46 Marine allows for maximum enjoyment of every space of this sunny, verdant and fully-fenced lot. Outdoor areas include two level lawn areas, stone patios ideal for lounging or dining outdoors, olive trees and native grasses, and new irrigation throughout.
This unique neighborhood - fondly referred to as "Chicken Point" or "Bayside Acres" - offers the setting for a sunny and lush environment that will delight any home-shopper. Complete with a neighborhood beach; quick access to Andy's Market, Pirate Playground, and waterfront walking path near Loch Lomond Marina; near Peacock Gap Golf Course, McNear's Beach, and China Camp; and within Glenwood Elementary School District. 5-minute drive to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Peet's Coffee and additional shops/restaurants as well as the 101 freeway for easy commuting in any direction. Close to everything, yet home is a peaceful oasis. You won't want to leave 46 Marine Dr upon discovering this hidden gem.

Neighborhood
San Rafael emerges as a captivating city where architectural innovation meets historical depth, embodied most dramatically by the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Marin Civic Center. Completed in 1962, this futuristic landmark transcends typical municipal architecture, its sci-fi-worthy design serving as a metaphorical and literal beacon of the city's forward-thinking spirit. The downtown area continues this legacy of innovation through active redevelopment efforts, with the Smith Rafael Film Center anchoring a cultural landscape that celebrates artistic diversity and community engagement.
The city's culinary and cultural landscape is as diverse as its architectural heritage. Fourth Street pulses with international flavor, offering a gastronomic journey that spans continents—sushi, Indian, Thai, Italian, Mexican, and Puerto Rican cuisines coexist within blocks, reflecting San Rafael's multicultural character. Thursday afternoon farmers markets animate the street with local produce, live music, and a sense of communal vibrancy that transforms urban space into a dynamic gathering point.
Architecturally, San Rafael offers a remarkable residential tapestry. From the sought-after midcentury Eichler homes of Terra Linda to the Victorian structures surrounding Dominican College and the custom homes of Lucas Valley, the city presents a nuanced residential landscape that provides diversity in both style and price point.
Nestled between Mount Tamalpais and San Pablo Bay, San Rafael represents more than a location—it's a living narrative of California's architectural and cultural evolution, where historical depth meets contemporary innovation.
