What's around 53 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard

About this property

Welcome to 53 SFD, an eclectic 1949 home blending Japanese-inspired design with mid-century influences, where craftsmanship, natural materials, and a strong connection to nature define the experience. A private driveway lined with bamboo, fig, and mature trees accommodates 4-5 cars and creates a peaceful buffer from the street. Beyond a traditional Japanese-style gate, shaded by a flowering cherry tree, the home opens to a serene garden with layered plantings, stepping stones, and a zen fountain. The pathway was designed to echo falling cherry blossoms, beautifully realized each spring. Inside, the home is rich with character. Redwood paneling, stained glass windows, vintage tile work, and distinct rooms create warmth and individuality throughout. A stained-glass dome skylight crowns the entry, casting colored light across the space. The main living room is anchored by a substantial brick fireplace and flows to a glass-enclosed sunroom overlooking the gardens. The kitchen balances charm and function with butcher block countertops, and a Viking range. Nearby, a cozy family room offers a casual place to gather or entertain. A formal library could be a 3rd bedroom. It is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling wood paneling, with built-in shelving and its own fireplace, creates an intimate retreat rarely found today. Across 2,389 square feet, the layout offers flexibility with two bedrooms, an office, and two sunrooms. Below, an expansive 1,814-square-foot basement provides exceptional storage space rarely seen in Marin. The primary suite opens to a bright sitting area with picture windows oriented toward Corte Madera Creek just beyond. An adjoining glass-enclosed workspace enhances the connection to nature. The en-suite bath adds personality with cobalt blue vintage tile and rich wood paneling. The secondary bedroom sits adjacent to the library, with sliding doors opening directly to the deck. A nearby full bath continues the home's timeless style with a clawfoot tub and separate shower. Outdoor living is equally special, with a split-level deck designed for entertaining or quiet relaxation beside the creek, where deer, birds, and seasonal steelhead salmon are often seen. Positioned on the border of Ross and San Anselmo, the location offers easy access to cafs, trails around Phoenix Lake, dining, shopping, top-rated schools, and a vibrant community delivering both convenience and escape in one remarkable setting.
