To the north of downtown San Rafael, up the hill, you will find this 3 bed/2 bath home that is characterized by the real estate term: Progression. The definition of that term is the phenomenon of the value of a property being lifted up by dint of being surrounded by fine quality homes. As you drive through the neighborhood, you will see that many of the homes here have undergone a pleasing Marin County style revivification, to the extent that this particular property, due to its yet-to-be revitalized status, is ready to take advantage of its progression. It could be a candidate for an investor or a family wanting to redesign with personal touches; adding value either way. What you will end up with is a fine home near the most important attractions and features of Marin County living: proximity to freeway 101, to the Smart Train, to downtown restaurants and shops, to the quaint small towns that flavor the Marin County lifestyle, to San Francisco, to the miles and miles of pristine open space as you head toward the west beyond Fairfax, and, and, and. The house itself has a fireplace, a garage, living room, family room with decks as well as a partial basement with loads of storage space. You will find the transformation potential here seductive. Come take a look.
