About This Home
A charming mid-century home in the heart of Fairfax, offering the rare combination of privacy, outdoor space, and exceptional walkability. Set in the coveted flats of downtown, this three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath residence with a flexible den is just a block from some of Marin’s favorite restaurants, cafés, shops, and gathering spots—close to everything that makes Fairfax special, yet remarkably quiet and private.
The home is arranged across two levels with an easy, functional floor plan designed for relaxed Marin living. The main living level features a beautifully remodeled kitchen with quartz countertops and backsplash, a vented hood, built-in oven and microwave, electric cooktop, new stainless steel appliances, and updated lighting. The kitchen flows naturally into the dining area and spacious living room, where a wood-burning fireplace creates a warm focal point. Direct access to the backyard makes indoor/outdoor living effortless.
The expansive and private yard is a true highlight—an inviting setting for dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The property occupies a rare street-to-street lot, offering intriguing possibilities for future expansion or development.
Upstairs are three light-filled bedrooms and an updated full bathroom with shower over tub. The lower level includes the kitchen and main living spaces, a flexible den ideal for a home office, media room, or guest space, and an updated powder room. A skylight brings additional natural light and warmth to the interior.
Oak hardwood floors, updated lighting, central forced-air heating, and a newer electrical panel add to the home’s appeal. A two-car garage provides generous storage and laundry, while the driveway offers additional off-street parking.
The location captures the best of the Marin lifestyle. Downtown Fairfax is just outside your door, with Peri Park, the Fairfax Theatre, Good Earth Natural Foods, restaurants, cafés, and local shops all within an easy stroll. Hiking and world-class mountain biking trails are close at hand, along with seemingly endless opportunities to get outside and explore.
Private when you want it, connected when you don’t—this is an exceptionally convenient home base for enjoying the best of Fairfax and Marin.

When you purchase a home in Fairfax, you're also purchasing history. There's still a whiff of 1960s counterculture in Fairfax, where the Jefferson Airplane once played softball with the Grateful Dead. This town of 7,500 residents just north of Mount Tamalpais is 30 minutes from San Francisco, less than 20 miles from Point Reyes, and is known as one of Marin County’s more affordable communities.
The heart of Fairfax is Broadway Boulevard, which parallels Sir Frances Drake Boulevard, the main traffic corridor heading west. Broadway is a perfect walking street where locals shop at Fairfax Coffee Roastery, purchase fresh local produce at the farmers market, and duck into Fairfax Variety for toys, tchotchkes, and candy. If Fairfax feels like it is living in a time warp, that's just fine with its residents, who have passed ordinances prohibiting chain stores, plastic bags, and Styrofoam takeout-food packaging. The art-deco movie theater and 19 Broadway Bar & Night Club are at the center of the action when it comes to nightlife in Fairfax.
