$2,495,000 | 3 BEDROOMS | 2 BATHROOMS | 2,118± SQFT | 7,502± SQFT LOT
Mid-century character, beautiful gardens, and easy indoor-outdoor living
There’s something truly special about Sherwood Court. Tucked into the heart of coveted Kentfield Gardens, this intimate cul-de-sac of just five homes offers a rare sense of privacy and community, and 9 Sherwood Court is an exceptional opportunity to call it home.
Set on a beautifully landscaped, level 7,502-square-foot lot, this single-level residence is surrounded by mature trees, flowering shrubs, roses, and citrus. A charming covered front porch creates a warm welcome, while the private backyard and gardens offer a peaceful, tucked-away setting for everyday living and entertaining.
Inside, the 2,118-square-foot floor plan is bright, inviting, and effortlessly livable, with distinctive mid-century details adding warmth and character throughout. Three skylights fill the sunny kitchen with natural light, complemented by new countertops and backsplash, abundant storage, and premium Thermador, Sub-Zero, and Bosch appliances. A NanaWall bi-folding door system opens the kitchen directly to the backyard, creating a seamless connection for al fresco dining and gatherings. The spacious living room provides an inviting place to unwind, anchored by a gas fireplace.
The family room is where the home’s mid-century personality truly shines. Vaulted wood-paneled ceilings and exposed beams create warmth and volume, while stained-glass clerestory windows cast beautiful filtered light throughout the space. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace serves as the centerpiece, surrounded by a sunken conversation pit with built-in seating - a signature detail of the era that gives the room undeniable character. Expansive sliding doors open directly to the backyard, while a wet bar sets the stage for everything from cocktails with friends and Mahjong nights to evenings spent listening to favorite records.
Indoor and outdoor spaces flow together with ease, particularly between the kitchen, family room, and backyard. The meticulously cared-for, level grounds feature lemon and lime trees, raised vegetable beds, and generous space to garden, dine, play, and entertain with ample room to envision a lawn, play structure, or even a pool, subject to county approval.
And then there’s the location. Sherwood Court is one of those special Kentfield streets where homes don’t come available often. The last recorded sale on the cul-de-sac was in 1997, and 9 Sherwood itself has remained in the same family since 1983 - a remarkable testament to the enduring appeal of this intimate neighborhood.
Rarely available, rich with character, and designed for the easy indoor-outdoor lifestyle that makes Marin living so special, 9 Sherwood Court is a home to settle into, make your own, and enjoy for years to come.

The Best of Kentfield Gardens: A True Neighborhood Community Rooted in Tradition, Convenience, and Quintessential Marin Living
Living at 9 Sherwood Court means becoming part of one of Marin’s most cherished and close-knit communities. Nowhere is that spirit more evident than in Kentfield Gardens’ beloved Flamingo Fridays, a longstanding neighborhood tradition that brings residents together throughout the warmer months. Neighbors take turns co-hosting festive Friday evening potlucks, complete with food, drinks, and ever-changing entertainment - from live music and lawn games to bounce houses and face painting. More than a neighborhood gathering, Flamingo Fridays capture what makes Kentfield Gardens so special: a genuine sense of connection, community, and fun that’s increasingly rare to find.
Beyond Flamingo Fridays, the location offers an exceptional combination of convenience and quintessential Marin living. Children can walk to both Bacich Elementary and Kent Middle School without crossing or traveling along a main road, while the nearby Corte Madera Creek path provides an easy route for morning walks, bike rides, and weekend adventures. Pick up groceries and local produce at Woodlands Market, meet friends for dinner at Guesthouse, spend the afternoon at the Bay Club, or head out to explore Marin’s seemingly endless network of trails, parks, and open space.
With Highway 101 just minutes away and many of Kentfield’s favorite destinations close to home, 9 Sherwood Court offers something increasingly hard to find: a true neighborhood where community, connection, and an effortless Marin lifestyle come together.
Make yourself at home.
