Charming mid-century living with Mount Tam Views

Framed by mature rhododendrons, and rosemary, 71 Bryn Mawr Drive offers privacy with a strong mid-century architectural point of view. Flagstone steps lead to a charming home defined by natural wood cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and clerestory windows that draw in steady, ambient light throughout the day.

The living room anchors the home with vaulted wood-paneled ceilings, a fireplace, and sliding glass doors that open to a deck with ample room for dining or lounging. The deck overlooks a sunny, landscaped backyard with flagstone pavers, multiple seating areas, a raised garden bed, a lemon tree, and panoramic Mount Tam views.

The kitchen has been recently updated and features granite countertops, a gas range, and stainless refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. A utility closet/pantry off the kitchen provides additional storage, and the adjacent eating nook complements the formal dining room, giving flexibility for both everyday meals and larger gatherings. The family room, with large windows, and a wet bar, creates a comfortable, dedicated space for hosting.

The primary suite is spacious and light-filled, with vaulted wood-paneled ceilings, hillside views, and brand new carpet. A spacious den/office off the primary includes built-in storage and offers flexibility for work or creative space. The en-suite bath features double vanities, new tile, and high ceilings that bring in natural light, while the bedroom includes a walk-in closet outfitted with adjustable shelving. Two additional bedrooms, also with new carpet, are connected by a built-in loft, adding both character and function. A laundry room with built-in cabinetry, an attached garage with storage, and a large paved side yard with room for four cars or future ADU considerations complete the home.
