Grand Architecture Meets Resort-Style Marin Living
With panoramic hillside Marin views without the long hillside drive, 3 The Alameda Knolls is set on a peaceful cul-de-sac in San Anselmo. Built in 2004 by a contractor with a craftsman eye for detail, the home features European-Inspired grand architecture, timeless finishes, and resort-style outdoor living with sweeping views. A cobblestone driveway and covered entryway with Mediterranean-style double doors with iron accents are framed by substantial columns. Exterior rich wood-shingle siding, layered with natural stone detailing and matured landscaping all around the property welcomes guests with understated elegance. Inside, a gracious entry foyer with natural stone flooring accented by an intricate mosaic border and a grand semicircular staircase with wrought-iron hand railing provides an architectural focal point. At the heart of the home is an impressive great room with dramatic elevated ceilings and architectural detailing with extensive wood paneling, elegant crown molding, and Italian marble fireplace, creating an airy, light-filled interior that gives warmth and sophistication throughout. Generous living spaces with tall French doors opening to the outdoor wrap-around balcony offer plenty of room to gather, entertain, and relax.
The spacious kitchen with separate bar, mini sink, and mini fridges is designed for everything from casual breakfasts at the bar or comfortable breakfast nook, to hosting a crowd in the chandeliered formal dining room.
