Property Description
Tucked among the trees in the heart of Forest Knolls, this enchanting cottage is the kind of home that instantly makes you exhale. Filled with character and thoughtfully curated, every space has been designed to feel warm, inviting, and effortlessly livable. Morning light pours through the kitchen, creating an inspiring place to gather over coffee or prepare meals while surrounded by nature. The kitchen leads out to one of two decks offering an inviting setting for entertaining family and friends, while the other is perfectly positioned to soak up the sunshine, creating a peaceful retreat to relax with a book or simply listen to the sounds of the surrounding redwoods. Extensively improved for peace of mind, the home features a newer septic system (2021), new support piers, refreshed landscaping, and numerous additional upgrades that make everyday living as easy as it is beautiful. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a peaceful retreat, or the perfect weekend escape from the city, this is a home where life naturally slows down. It's the kind of place where mornings begin with coffee on the deck, afternoons are spent exploring nearby trails, and evenings end under the stars. Forest Knolls and the greater West Marin community continue to blossom into one of Marin's most beloved destinations. Spend your mornings at Pump Espresso Bar, pick up local provisions at the Lagunitas Market or the Farm Stand, then explore the endless hiking and biking trails or spend the day in nearby Samuel P. Taylor State Park. As the day winds down, enjoy live music and cocktails at the iconic Papermill Creek Saloon. Best of all, you're just about eight minutes from the vibrant shops, restaurants, and conveniences of downtown Fairfaxoffering the perfect balance of peaceful retreat and everyday accessibility. For those seeking a simpler pace, a stronger connection to nature, or an inspiring weekend getaway, this is more than a homeit's a place to recharge, entertain, and truly unwind. This is West Marin living at its most charming: timeless, tranquil, and connected to everything that makes the area so special.
