Property Description

Discover effortless indoor outdoor living in the coveted flats of Fairfax, just one level block from vibrant downtown. This rare mini compound of three buildings is centered on a serene, level courtyard that blurs the line between inside and out: mature fruit trees, multiple patio zones and lush native planting create a private, park like setting elevated above Fairfax Creek. The single level main house (approx. 1,221 sq ft) is a sunlit 1 bed/1 bath with vintage charm and some modern updates. Features include refinished wood floors, living room with fireplace, flexible family room or dining room, and an eat in kitchen with quartz counters and a classic Wedgewood gas stove, opening directly onto the sublime courtyard and generous patio, perfect for morning coffee, alfresco dining, and seamless entertaining. The spacious bedroom includes walk in closet, sitting area and private entry. Across the courtyard, a light filled 243 sq ft cottage (1 bed/1 bath) features wood floors, built in shelving and desk, a cozy fireplace, and a loft above, ready to be converted to an ADU or guest house with the addition of a kitchen (confirm with town), offering many lifestyle options, including multi-generational living. A third structure provides covered parking, storage and a flexible 151 sq ft auxiliary room (not included in square footage) ideal for a home office, yoga or art studio. Each structure orients to the courtyard to maximize indoor outdoor access and natural light. Off street parking completes the package. Enjoy instant access to vibrant downtown Fairfax's shops, restaurants, movie theater, parks, organic grocery store and well-regarded schools (Manor elementary, White Hill Middle, Archie Williams High). Close to beautiful hiking, biking trails, cascade falls, and the open spaces and beaches of West Marin. This property must be seen to be fully appreciated. Come home to Fairfax and enjoy a lifestyle defined by charm, light and effortless indoor outdoor living.
