Larkspur is a perfectly convenient compromise between city life and moving ‘to the north’, with plenty of great restaurants and retail shops as well as those great views of Mount Tam.
This four-bedroom home in Drake’s Cove takes advantage of both. It is within walking distance of the Marin Country Mart – home of fitness studios including Love Story Yoga and Barry’s. Local favorites like Hog Island Oyster Co. and Farmshop; and shopping at the likes of Jennie Kayne and The RealReal—and it has all the access you’d want to the quiet outdoors.
Built in 2018, the 3,975-square-foot modern residence sits on a 0.28-acre private lot. Inside, 22-foot ceilings rise above the open floor plan, and countless windows flood the space with natural light, which especially glows at sunset.
The home is also more than just beautiful, with smart amenities including an elevator, a Tesla solar system with SolarEdge inverters, Tesla power walls, a Nest thermostat, Lutron lights, security cameras, and August smart locks.
The house is ideal for those who love to entertain with a design that embraces the outdoors and encourages social flow. The chef’s kitchen includes Calacatta quartz backsplashes, Carrera marble accents, CesarStone worktops, and Thermador appliances including dual ovens. Maple floors lead to a window-wrapped dining area with access to an outdoor deck. The equally bright living area includes a linear gas stove and a glass staircase.
The home has four bedrooms, including a master suite with an interior wall covered in blue floral wallpaper (and installed with a 4k projector) that serves as a whimsical canvas for a bed. Two walls here are dominated by windows and a glass door opens onto a private courtyard. The large en suite bathroom has marble countertops, a stand-alone bathtub, a double washbasin, and a secondary vanity table with seating. There is a large and spacious glass shower. Our happy place would be a spacious wardrobe with plenty of built-in storage, a chandelier, and enough space for small furnishings or even extra storage on the island.
The lower level of the house has a family room and more beautiful bedrooms with lush views, access to the outdoors, and a bathroom. Outside, find a backyard with a custom wood-fired pizza oven.
