Welcome to 117-119 Altena Street in San Rafael. Light, bright and updated this handsome duplex is a rare offering as either a beautiful new home or a smart investment opportunity. Or, maybe BOTH!
The units have almost identical floorplans, each approximately 1000 sqft, with two bedrooms and one bathroom and plenty of stylish details throughout. The open kitchens have spacious islands with quartz countertops and seating for four with ample cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, white subway tile backsplashes and combination dining and living room spaces. Each unit is anchored by a brick wood-burning fireplace.
The top unit enjoys a special midcentury flair with beamed ceilings and a special water view. It has white-washed, wide plank flooring and its east-facing windows have been upgraded with specialized acrylic window inserts designed for ultra-quiet living. The primary bedroom is adjacent to the bathroom and has a large, private deck accessible through a glass slider.
The downstairs unit is on the ground floor and has its own patio accessed through a glass slider. It has a breezeway with a succulent garden and leads to the side yard. This flexible space is fully fenced and has three large storage sheds.
Altena Street is an ideal location as it is situated between Greenbrae and San Rafael and accessible from both directions. It has easy access to the 101 freeway, Larkspur Ferry, and all that central Marin and vibrant downtown San Rafael have to offer.

Neighborhood
The county seat of Marin, San Rafael is large, diverse, eclectic, and historic. That history stretches from California's beginnings, with the 1817 founding of Mission San Rafael on the old El Camino Real, to the construction of the eye-popping Marin Civic Center in the 1960s. Designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the Civic Center was completed in 1962 and is so futuristic that it pops up in science-fiction films.
San Rafael still looks to the future thanks to a vibrant downtown redevelopment effort. The focal point of downtown is the Smith Rafael Film Center, which features a state–of-the-art multiplex cinema that screens independent and foreign films. Cuisine is eclectic: within a few blocks of 4th Street diners can find sushi, Indian, Thai, Italian, Mexican, and Puerto Rican food. Thursday afternoons in the spring and summer find 4th Street hosting a farmers market, which features live music.
The neighborhoods of San Rafael are equally distinctive. From the sought-after midcentury Eichler homes of Terra Linda to the Victorians that surround Dominican College and the custom homes of Lucas Valley, San Rafael provides diversity of price and style.
It's also easy to get away from it all in San Rafael. Nearby China Camp State Park is a jewel by the bay, offering: a kid-friendly, walk-in campground for tents only; a shallow, protected swimming beach; and biking and running trails.
