A Midcentury Retreat with Trails Right Outside Your Door
For those who love being surrounded by nature without giving up the convenience of town, 280 Oakcrest Road offers a special way to experience San Anselmo. Set against the hills of Sorich Park, this inviting midcentury home pairs warm architectural character with thoughtful modern updates, beautiful natural light, and direct access to miles of hiking trails right from the backyard. With a seasonal stream running through the property and peaceful hillside views, the setting feels like a retreat of its own.
Inside, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and hardwood floors create bright, welcoming living spaces with a distinctive midcentury feel. The formal living and dining area features soaring ceilings and a gas fireplace, while the remodeled kitchen brings a fresh, modern touch with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous pantry storage. An eat-in dining area beneath atrium-style skylights is an especially inviting spot to start the day, with French doors opening to the deck for dining, entertaining, or simply taking in the surrounding greenery.
Privately situated upstairs, the primary suite is a bright and comfortable retreat, with large windows, an en suite bathroom, skylight, and spacious walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms on the main level feature vaulted ceilings and skylights, including one with built-in bookshelves that would also make a wonderful home office or creative space. A second bathroom also retains its original Heath tile, celebrating the home's midcentury roots, while recent improvements including a remodeled kitchen, refinished surfaces, newer roof, updated HVAC, and custom window treatments add everyday comfort. A covered two-car carport completes the property.
From the deck, enjoy the changing scenery of the surrounding hills, with mountain views opening up during the winter months. Beyond the back gate, Sorich Park's open space and trails are ready to explore, making it easy to head out for a morning hike, an afternoon walk, or a longer adventure along Sleepy Hollow Ridge without ever getting in the car.
