  Do not enter the property until 2 pm. Security camera's. Huge fixer in the flats of San Anselmo. A charming home with beautiful hardwood floors, vintage touches and a detached1 bedroom cottage. Been in the same family for years. So much potential in Ross Valley!

Opportunity knocks for this multi family home. Set back beneath a canopy of mature oaks, this private 1930s property brings together a character-filled main residence, and detached cottage in one of San Anselmo's most sought-after neighborhoods. A welcoming entry opens to a generous living room where wood floors, a fireplace, and graceful archways reflect the home's vintage appeal. Just beyond, a library with built-in bookshelves and its own private balcony creates a quiet retreat for reading, working, or enjoying the surrounding greenery. The centrally located dining room creates a natural gathering place, while two bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the main level. The kitchen flows into a sunlit breakfast area with an enclosed sunroom composed of flexible spaces. Filled with possibilities for a home office, art studio, play area, additional dining space, or peaceful places to relax. Beneath the main level is a large basement with space for an art studio or craft room with bathroom. Offers flexibility for work, hobbies, or everyday use. A garage and extensive storage basement extending beneath much of the house offer an exceptional amount of room for belongings, equipment, and projects. Beyond the main residence, a detached cottage expands the possibilities even further. Complete with its own living area, kitchenette, bedroom, full bathroom, and attic, it offers a private and versatile space separate from the main home.Surrounded by mature foliage and inviting outdoor areas, the property feels peaceful and secluded while remaining just minutes from downtown San Anselmo and Fairfax. Enjoy nearby restaurants, cafs, shops, community events, hiking and biking trails, and top-rated schools. Rich with history, character, and room to evolve, this is a rare opportunity to bring a storied San Anselmo property into its next chapter.
