Welcome to a light-filled, beautifully updated two-story home in Marin Country Club Estates, set on a private, elevated lot just a short walk (or a one-minute golf cart ride) from the Fairway Drive entrance to Marin Country Club. Four bedrooms and three baths in approx. 2,345 sq ft, including a sizable main-level bedroom finished out in 2026 with a new closet and desk alcove, plus a newly renovated full bath: ideal for guests, multi-gen living, or a private office. Inside, enjoy extraordinary natural light, fresh interior paint, added recessed lighting, and valley views from the main living spaces, where the family room gathers around a fireplace with a newer insert. The kitchen was renovated in 2026 with newer appliances, countertops and backsplash, pendant lights over the breakfast bar, and newer hardwood floors. Upstairs, the primary suite captures the same views and pairs a remodeled dual-vanity bath with step-in shower with a large walk-in closet featuring natural light and a laundry chute. The hall bath has also been remodeled with a dual vanity and shower over tub. New carpet throughout. Step outside and experience the magic. The entire front yard is fenced and framed by mature privacy trees, with a big new lawn and a covered front porch from which to take it all in. The yard wraps all the way around the house to a wide side yard with crushed granite, planter beds, mature citrus and fruit trees, and a 10x12 shed, then on to a rear patio. Elevated above its rear neighbors, the lot delivers open valley views and a quiet, tucked-away feel. The big-ticket items are handled: newer roof, exterior paint, all windows, newer furnace/AC and water heater, a brand-new sewer lateral (2026), and a very clean pest report. Add significant storage, including a large overhead area in the garage with a refinished floor, plus freshly re-stained concrete at the entry and driveway, and you have a home that lives beautifully inside and out, backed by years of thoughtful investment and poised to be one of the most sought-after listings in MCC this fall.
