    What's special

    There's something instantly welcoming about this 2 bedroom, 2 bath single-level home tucked into one of San Rafael's most convenient neighborhoods. Freshly painted inside and out, the home blends charm with thoughtful updates and easy indoor-outdoor living. Warm hardwood floors lead you into a light-filled living room where a gas fireplace with natural looking logs creates an inviting space to relax. The remodeled kitchen with granite countertops opens naturally to the dining area and flows out to the spacious back deck, making everyday living and entertaining feel effortless. Outside, the professionally landscaped yard offers multiple places to enjoy Marin's beautiful weather. A versatile side yard provides space for a dog run, vegetable garden, or tucked-away storage, while the backyard deck becomes the perfect setting for dinners with friends or quiet mornings with coffee. The home also offers exceptional storage rarely found in homes of this size, including exterior storage closets off the deck, near the carport, and beneath the deck. A full-footprint attic with pull-down ladder access provides even more valuable space. Additional highlights include central air conditioning, a paver driveway with off-street parking for up to three vehicles, and a newer roof. Just minutes away, you'll find the restaurants, shops, and energy of downtown San Rafael's 4th Street, along with nearby open space hiking trails and convenient train, bus, and ferry options for commuters. The neighborhood itself is known for friendly gatherings and a true sense of community. Charming, functional, and ideally located, 28 Hillcrest Ave offers the kind of home that simply feels good the moment you arrive.
