San Rafael living with sweeping Bay views, indoor-outdoor flow, and a resort-style pool setting
Set on a quiet knoll top in San Rafael, 184 McNear Drive offers a peaceful, private setting with sweeping views of the Bay. The home is positioned to take full advantage of its outlook, with water views visible from most rooms and a layout that allows for easy living on the main level.
The main level centers around the living room with fireplace, where large windows frame the Bay beyond. Just off the kitchen, a dedicated dining area opens directly to the deck, creating a natural connection for indoor-outdoor living. The deck is designed for gathering, with ample space for seating or dining, making it an easy extension of the kitchen when hosting. The kitchen itself is well-equipped with a double oven and five-burner gas cooktop, supporting both everyday use and larger gatherings. The primary suite includes an en-suite bathroom, while two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, office space, or family needs.
On the lower level, a separate family room with a half bath offers additional living space, opening directly out to the pool and patio. Outside, the pool and hot tub are set within a private, landscaped setting, highlighted by a rock waterfall feature and views out toward the Bay. Meandering paths extend along the back of the property, adding depth and additional areas to explore, while a nearby trail leads to open space overlooking the views—an easy option for daily walks or time outdoors. Across approximately 2,141 square feet, the home also includes generous storage throughout, a two-car garage, and a dedicated storage cellar.
