Absolute Gem In the Heart of Larkspur

Set in the coveted flats of Larkspur, just blocks from the heart of downtown, this beautifully reimagined 1926  residence brings together historic character, modern comfort, and an extraordinary indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

A welcoming front porch introduces a home with a remarkable local history, originally built by Larkspur builder and designer Gustave Nagel for his daughter. Thoughtfully updated in 2020, the residence retains the warmth and architectural character that make it so special.

Inside, natural light, hardwood floors, and an easy, open flow create an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. The gracious living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace, now finished with a handsome wood mantel that complements the front door. The adjoining dining area offers generous room for memorable dinners and casual gatherings.

At the heart of the home, the open kitchen features a large center island with seating and connects naturally to the surrounding living spaces. Whether preparing a quiet breakfast or hosting a full house, the layout feels welcoming, functional, and wonderfully social.

All three bedrooms and two full bathrooms are conveniently located on the main level. The serene primary suite enjoys its own private bath, while two additional bedrooms share a second full bathroom. A dedicated laundry and mudroom complete the main floor.

The lower level expands the home’s possibilities with an externally accessed collection of flexible spaces. A spacious den or office, a second office with a wet bar, a workshop, powder room, walk-in closet, and additional storage provide room to work, create, exercise, unwind, or host guests.

Outside, the expansive backyard offers a park-like setting beneath a magnificent canopy of mature trees and towering redwoods. Designed for both large gatherings and quiet afternoons, four distinct seating areas provide inviting places to relax, connect, and enjoy the natural surroundings. Fountains bring the soothing sound of water into the landscape, while a built-in, in-ground trampoline creates a dedicated area for play.

The covered terrace provides a sheltered outdoor dining area, and the outdoor kitchen makes entertaining effortless. A mature grapefruit tree adds a delightful edible-garden element, while a separate storage structure keeps outdoor essentials neatly tucked away.

Surrounded by greenery yet moments from downtown, this home offers the rare pleasure of feeling peacefully removed while remaining connected to everything that makes Larkspur so beloved. Stroll to Magnolia Avenue’s restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and historic Lark Theater, with nearby trails, highly regarded local schools, and convenient access to Highway 101 and the Larkspur Ferry.

Rich in history, thoughtfully updated, and complete with a backyard designed to make every day feel like a retreat, this exceptional Larkspur residence is not to be missed.
