Description
Hidden from the street at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in San Rafael, this 1957 Buff & Hensman treehouse rests in a private and lush natural setting. Iconic post and beam architecture, meticulous renovations, and sun dappled living spaces are found throughout. A sense of calm meets you on the descending pathway that leads from the detached garage at the street level down to the secluded home. Inside, a pitched wood-beamed ceiling and walls of windows surround the open living, dining, and kitchen areas, showcasing the verdant beauty found in every direction. Sumptuous natural materials and vintage lighting fixtures further elevate the warmth of the sumptuous interiors. A wood deck spans the main level and overlooks the backyard, inviting conversation to flow outdoors. Through a skylight-filled hallway, two bedrooms, a full bath, and a powder room lead to the primary suite, with a serene bathroom, walk-in closet, and outdoor access. A floating staircase leads to the downstairs guest suite and two generous flex spaces that easily serve as an expansive family room and a separate home office or fitness area. In the completely private backyard, a large entertaining patio, terraced garden beds, and a grassy knoll welcome play, repose, and connection with both nature and loved ones. Featuring interiors by Tiffany Howell of Night Palm and landscape design by Sarita Jaccard, 980 Mesa Verde Road is at once a retreat and a study in aesthetic harmony.
