Character, creativity, and livability come together at 148 Oak Avenue
Thoughtfully redesigned and full of character, 148 Oak offers a fresh take on Craftsman living with mid-century influences in San Anselmo's coveted Seminary neighborhood. Originally built in 2002, the home was reimagined by Whitney Gelinas of Wit Interiors, whose creative approach to blending playful design with functional living gave the home its distinctive personality and earned recognition in Marin Magazine in 2024.
Spanning approximately 3,500 square feet, the residence offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two dedicated office spaces, and multiple living areas made to adapt to the flexibility of the home. Expansive windows, skylights, vaulted ceilings, and exposed beams bring natural light into the home with lush views of Downtown San Anselmo and the iconic grounds of the San Francisco Theological Seminary framing the landscape. Throughout the home, custom updates including updated hardwood flooring, updated fireplaces, designer lighting, Fireclay tilework, and a completely redesigned kitchen create a cohesive sense of style without sacrificing comfort.
The main level serves as the heart of the home, where formal living and dining rooms flow into an open-concept kitchen and breakfast nook. The kitchen centers around a large quartz island with counter seating, offering plenty of workspace while connecting seamlessly to the surrounding living areas, and is complimented by the stunning statement backsplash. Just beyond, the family room is centered around a striking picket tile fireplace, creating a warm focal point and an inviting space for relaxed evenings at home. Multiple decks and balconies extend the living experience outdoors, offering places to gather, dine, or simply take in the surrounding views.
Also located on the main level, a guest bedroom opens to its own private balcony and is complemented by an attached bonus room that can function as a home office, fitness space, or additional storage area.
On the lower level, three bedrooms create a more private living wing, including the primary suite. Designed as a true retreat, the primary bedroom features its own gas fireplace, private balcony, walk-in closet, and a spacious ensuite bathroom with an oversized shower, soaking tub, and updated finishes.
Outside, the property features entertaining and yard spaces that are rare for this area of San Anselmo. The flat, turfed backyard and additional level yard provide usable extensions of the home, connecting outdoor seating areas, gardens, and gathering spaces into one cohesive environment great for hosting. The attached two-car garage, EV charger, and generous storage throughout ensure the home functions as beautifully as it looks.
