This charming gem has been pristinely updated and maintained, beautifully preserving the character and comfort of its 1930s-era appeal. The home offers six versatile rooms, including two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a spacious kitchen adorned with original-style sea-blue Deco tiles, a separate dinette room, and an additional room that can serve as the formal living room or potential third bedroom. The bathroom is thoughtfully updated with a pedestal sink, timeless wainscoting, and renovated one-inch diamond-shaped white tile flooring adding stylish vintage detail throughout. A large laundry and workroom sits just off the kitchen, providing convenient access to the rear deck and yard space. One of the most distinctive features of this property is its unique commercial/residential zoning, providing exceptional flexibility for a live/work lifestyle, creative studio space, or small business use all while enjoying the warmth and charm of a traditional home. Framed by a classic white picket fence and welcoming entry arbor, the property is fully fenced for privacy and features quaint outdoor spaces with a small deck and garden areas filled with natural light. Additional upgrades include a newer roof, newly installed furnace, plumbing, wood floors under carpet, and dual-pane windows. A true value in the highly sought-after Gerstle Park neighborhood, this home is ideally located just minutes from downtown restaurants, shops, and all that Marin has to offer.
