Details

The Belvedere Lagoon neighborhood is one of the most coveted locales in southern Marin, located on level ground between the Tiburon Peninsula and Belvedere Island. This enchanting home enjoys an especially rare location facing Richardson Bay and Mill Valley to the west, and the Belvedere Lagoon to the east, with sparkling water views from both the front and the back of the property.

A gate opens to the lush front gardens and the front door just beyond. A welcoming foyer leads to the sun-drenched kitchen and breakfast area delineated by a bespoke curving natural wood island. Just beyond is the light and bright dining room, which flows into the inviting living room with a wall of glass opening to the terrace, gardens, and Belvedere Lagoon frontage.

On the far side of the living room is a spacious bedroom with an attached bath and doors opening to the terrace and waterfront. On the other side of the kitchen is a second bedroom currently used as an office, a second full bath opening to the terrace and waterfront, a laundry and craft room, and access to the garage with storage.

The serene primary suite occupies the entire second story. A sitting area is framed by a wall of windows overlooking Richardson Bay, Mill Valley, and Mt. Tamalpais to the west, and another wall of windows overlooking the Belvedere Lagoon and the Tiburon hillside to the east. A fireplace graces the center of the room, and a luxurious spa-like bath and large walk-in closet are just beyond.

The quality of life on the Belvedere Lagoon is unparalleled. Residents on the Lagoon enjoy kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, sailing, and swimming right from their backyards, and the nearby Belvedere Sailing Society hosts regattas and parties throughout the year. Families appreciate the quiet, friendly neighborhood, year-round water sports, and the proximity to Tiburon’s shops, restaurants, playgrounds and parks, hiking and biking trails, and award-winning schools. Commuters savor the easy access to San Francisco in as little as twenty minutes by ferry or car via the Golden Gate Bridge. Residents of every age appreciate the level land and proximity to all that Belvedere and Tiburon have to offer.
