An East Coast-Style Home with Traditional Character, Thoughtfully Updated
Classic East Coast architecture meets relaxed Marin living in this beautifully updated, single-level shingled residence in the coveted flats of Kentfield. Timeless character, thoughtful designer details, and effortless indoor-outdoor flow come together to create a home that feels both refined and wonderfully inviting.
Beyond the gated driveway and charming arched pergola, a brick entry patio framed by mature landscaping creates an immediate sense of warmth and privacy. Inside, light hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a grasscloth-wrapped entry introduce an understated, sophisticated aesthetic that carries throughout the home.
Designed for both everyday living and easy entertaining, the main living spaces flow seamlessly from one to the next. The living room is bright and welcoming, with expansive windows and a gas fireplace flanked by custom built-in bookshelves, opening naturally to the dining area and kitchen. Three skylights bathe the kitchen in natural light, highlighting quartz countertops, a Zellige tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, generous storage, and peninsula seating ideal for casual meals or conversation while cooking. A dedicated laundry room and pantry just off the kitchen add everyday functionality.
Privately positioned, the primary suite is a serene retreat with vaulted ceilings, generous closet space, a spacious en-suite bath, and two sets of French doors that extend the room outdoors. One opens to the central patio, while the other leads to a wood deck overlooking the seasonal creek, a peaceful setting for morning coffee or a quiet moment at the end of the day. The front guest suite offers its own patio entrance and en-suite bath, while an additional bedroom features a vaulted ceiling and skylight.
The home's outdoor spaces are equally compelling. Beneath a canopy of mature trees, an expansive brick patio offers ample room for outdoor dining, lounging, and evenings spent outside with friends. Climbing vines and overhead string lights lend an intimate ambiance, creating a setting that feels equally suited to relaxed afternoons and effortless entertaining.
Tucked just beyond the main residence, a beautifully designed detached studio provides an exceptional extension of the living space. Filled with natural light and finished with custom built-ins and playful wallpaper, it offers remarkable flexibility as a home office, creative studio, fitness space, or guest retreat.
With its single-level floor plan, timeless architecture, thoughtfully updated interiors, and inviting outdoor spaces, this special Kentfield home captures the ease and character of Marin living in one of its most desirable settings.
