Fairfax is quaint and quirky, with attractions like the Marin Museum of Bicycling, and casual restaurants and coffee shops lining its main streets. Depending on traffic, San Francisco is about an hour away; the East Bay is a 45-minute drive.
Size: 2,500 square feet
Price per square foot: $878
Indoors: A long driveway leads from the street to this home’s garage and motor court, with a footpath winding around to the front door.
The foyer is bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows and polished concrete floors, which continue throughout the house. To the immediate left is the kitchen, updated by the sellers with stainless-steel appliances and white cabinets; it has space for a table and chairs in front of a large window. The dining room, on the other side of the kitchen, has wood-paneled ceilings and a window overlooking the terrace.
The kitchen and dining room are partially open to a living room with exposed ceiling beams, a sleek fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows that look out to the deck and the hills beyond.
A short hallway leads from the living room to two bedrooms: The first, to the left, is a guest room large enough to hold a queen-size bed. Across the hall is the primary suite, which has sliding-glass doors that open to a private section of the deck with a hillside-facing hot tub; the en suite bathroom has a porcelain soaking tub and an open, walk-in shower.
Off the foyer are two more guest rooms, one currently used as a home office. They share an updated bathroom with a combination tub and shower.
Outdoor space: The property includes a great deal of flat, usable space, with lawn surrounding the house and a path leading to a bocce court. A succulent garden, planting boxes and a chicken coop all have dedicated areas. A pergola-covered terrace off the kitchen offers a place for outdoor dining, but the best views are from the deck that wraps around the living room and primary suite. The attached garage holds two cars, and the motor court has room for a few more.
Taxes: $33,360 (estimated)
