Casa Gemelli – the “Jewel” of Sleepy Hollow 

125 Tarry Road represents a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of Marin living on an extraordinary expansive estate with magnificent Loma Alta Preserve open space views.  Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac on a massive double lot, this property boasts enhanced privacy enveloped in a medley of gorgeous greenery.  A garden sanctuary surrounds the exquisite 4295 square foot home that promises the new owners a place to make magical memories, continuing a legacy of generational enjoyment experienced here. The owner’s family has exclusively and  lovingly lived in this special home and recount many treasured shared stories, especially those told about how the Sicilian patriarch spoke of his children as his “gems” or “gemelli”.  Casa Gemelli recognizes its history by offering a residence that is the “jewel” of Sleepy Hollow. 

Pass through the gated driveway and be immediately awed by the amazing grounds.  Custom built in 1975 to exacting standards and “ahead of its time” contemporary design, this sensational home showcases impressive architectural details that are truly timeless.  The sophisticated façade reveals its modernist inspiration and displays a wall of windows that beautifully blurs the distinction between inside and out by perpetually framing the surrounding scenic beauty. The formal entry presents the original classic pendant lights that are an homage to the best of this era’s style.  The thoughtful floor plan produces an effortless flow between the light-filled and airy main social spaces which enhances the connectivity between family and friends. Wonderful wood tones, neutral hues, and multiple windows that embrace the scenery  create an organic dialogue with the outdoors. The main social spaces boast high vaulted ceilings and skylights that amplify the sense of volume and divine light. New hardwood flooring and carpeting throughout freshen the interior. The living room has a stunning mica limestone fireplace surround and raised hearth, open beam wood vaulted ceiling, and planes of glass that perfectly exhibit the exquisite backyard.  Gather around the warmth of the glowing fire to enjoy a cozy ambience in a serene setting. The adjacent grand Great Room is the social hub of the home and offers an uninterrupted flow between the dining space, kitchen and family room, opening directly to the patio and yard for seamless indoor/outdoor living. The large covered back patio lives like an outdoor living room, excellent for entertaining. Both intimate or very large gatherings are easily accommodated and the family room, with a wall of built-in cabinetry and wide windows, is ideal for relaxing. The chef’s kitchen offers an astounding amount of culinary space enhanced by a soaring ceiling, skylights, abundant cabinetry with a desk area, extensive counters, and a center island with casual seating.  An immense pantry and laundry area adds additional utility and ease to household needs and tasks.

The generously scaled bedroom wing is introduced by a lengthy hallway with bright skylights, ample built-in wall cabinetry to display your valued objet d’art collection, and linen and coat closets.  The primary bedroom continues to accentuate this home’s enduring style and spaciousness with its high vaulted open wood beam ceiling, striking pendant lights, enlarged windows bringing magnificent scenery inside, a lavish sitting area, and direct outdoor access.  The primary bath has an elongated dual sink vanity counter atop ample cabinetry, a walk-in shower, and tucked away toilet. The 4 additional sizable bedrooms are serene sanctuaries with verdant views and multiple closets.  The remaining well-appointed and well-placed bathrooms provide comfort and convenience.

The highlight of this property are the extraordinary grounds that offer an abundance of natural beauty and opportunities to relish outdoor pursuits. Slip into the substantial shimmering pool for a cooling splash and swim, meander the pathways to relish the bounty of an assortment of fruit and nut trees, and delight in the ultimate gardener’s paradise to indulge your green thumb. The prized prickly pear grove is unsurpassed.  The sizable park-like yard is an idyllic retreat that offers an array of sublime places to unwind, laze, and play. Miles of glorious hiking are just beyond your yard. Additional structures afford sought after storage or space for a potting shed, gardening tools and equipment, sports gear, work benches for every hobby, and pool equipment. Adding to the already exceptional opportunity this property presents is the fully subdivided rare double lot which can be built on, sold separately, or held as a future investment.

Live luxuriously and comfortably in timeless style, seamlessly linked to the spectacular surroundings of a one-of-a-kind estate property that promises an unparalleled Marin living experience.
