Natural design elements of dark wood beams accentuating the soaring ceilings, walls of glass framing the picturesque scenery, and rich, warmly hued wood millwork create a seamless aesthetic connection to the spectacular surroundings. Enter the unique high-ceiling luminous foyer lined in glass windows and gleaming wood, that introduces the key interior design elements of light, wood, and airiness. A few steps up is the striking living room which showcases dark wood beams that outline the soaring ceilings and an array of windows that perpetually frame the beautiful outlooks. A dramatic brick clad fireplace with an upper open niche is a strong focal point and adds a sense of substance to the space. Continuing the theme of brightness and impressive proportions, the game room with pool table  has high ceilings, multiple skylights, hardwood floors, and a built-in wall of cabinets including a work area and a long bar for the ultimate recreating spot. The large formal dining room highlights the distinctive dark wood beam accented angled ceilings, punctuated by a hanging chandelier, and is anchored by lovely outlooks at one end and exposed fireplace chimney bricks at the other. A kitchen pass-through makes serving memorable meals an easier undertaking, and family celebrations and holiday gatherings are readily accommodated. The kitchen is awash in brightness with crisp white cabinets, marble-inspired quartz counters, and white/stainless appliances.  A center island with a cooktop has counter seating and allows the home chef to prepare meals while staying connected to ongoing social activities. Attached to the culinary center is a sizable eat-in breakfast room that opens directly out the back deck to easily extend dining outdoors, and also offers a wall of cabinets with a complete desk area and always valued additional storage. An immense lower level family room (shows  as an office in photographs) with open wood beam ceiling, fireplace, built-in shelving, and direct access to its own patio, provides superb flexibility depending on the new owner’s lifestyle – a home office, media room, art studio, home gym are all possibilities here. 

 Three serene spacious bedrooms are on the main level, all with windows with sublime vistas . The en suite presents the enhanced appeal of its own walk-out deck that overlooks the grounds, and also features mirrored closet doors, and an en suite bath with a large soaking tub. Two more main floor bedrooms are restful retreats with tranquil outlooks and two additional bathrooms are also conveniently located nearby. The considerable lower level en suite has a bath with honey-hued limestone tiles that wrap the significant walk-in shower, a complementary-hued lengthy vanity counter with a chic mirror/medicine cabinet combination, and delightful contrasting green tile shower and floor insets.  

 The piece de resistance of this magical property is the expansive outside space that has the ambience of an exclusive getaway destination. Proudly host special celebrations or just luxuriate in wonderful day-to-day living. Play tennis on the regulation tennis court (with Pickleball court lines) or shoot hoops at the basketball backboard.  Challenge family and guests to a pleasurable game of bocce ball or shuffle board, enveloped in a dazzling wall of climbing roses that delineate this game area. Substantial level lawns are ideal for an array of activities that require large playing fields from practicing soccer to field hockey! Dine al fresco and sip evening cocktails under the stars in the lovely gazebo, or on the  back deck, and revel in the welcoming hot tub, to be enjoyed day and night throughout the year. Enticing outdoor options abound on this unparalleled property. The yard’s incredible size and flat topography make it ideal for building an ADU or lap pool.  

The amazing richness of Marin’s magnificent natural beauty is on full display.  Only minutes away are the salmon spawning grounds on the recently protected 157-acre San Geronimo Commons, the trails to Roy's Redwoods Preserve, the Top-Flight Trailhead at French Ranch Preserve, Gary Giacomini Open Space Preserve, Spirit Rock Meditation Center, and close to beloved Samuel P.
