Before & After: A Fresh Take on a Kentfield Classic, 1 Rosebank Lane
Some homes don’t need a full renovation, they just need a fresh perspective.
That was the case at 1 Rosebank Lane in Kentfield, where a few intentional updates transformed this charming property and helped future buyers see its full potential. With good bones, timeless architecture, and an unbeatable location, the home didn’t need to be completely reimagined, just refreshed to sell.
A true legacy property in the same family for over 62 years, 1 Rosebank had been lovingly maintained and filled with generations of memories. When it came time to sell, the goal wasn’t to erase its history, it was to honor it while helping new buyers imagine what could come next.
The updates were simple, but impactful:
New carpets added comfort and cohesion throughout the home
Fresh paint inside and out brightened every space and breathed new life into the home’s original details
Updated kitchen countertops, a new oven, lighting, and hardware gave the heart of the home a modern touch while staying true to its classic feel
The primary bathroom was refreshed with tile flooring in place of old carpet—a small change that made a big difference
And out front, a new lawn replaced overgrown ivy, enhancing the home’s curb appeal and adding more usable yard space
These changes brought the property into the present while offering a vision for the future owners to make it theirs.
Buyers took notice and so did the press. 1 Rosebank Lane was recently featured in The New York Times article “What $3.5 Million Buys You in California,” a nod to its standout appeal and thoughtful transformation.
At Own Marin, we believe in the power of presentation and potential. Because sometimes, all a home needs is the right perspective and the right team to lead it into its next chapter.
