Not every home comes with a built-in way to offset your mortgage - 833 Belle Ave does. With a detached studio-style ADU, solar panels, spa, and a location near Dominican University, 833 Belle Ave offers the kind of flexibility that's becoming increasingly hard to find in Marin. The main home feels warm, bright, and inviting, featuring hardwood floors, natural light, and an easy indoor/outdoor flow designed for everyday living. The updated kitchen and dining area open directly to a private deck surrounded by mature greenery, creating a peaceful space for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying quiet mornings at home. Thoughtful updates throughout give the property a clean, move-in ready feel while still maintaining its character and charm. What truly sets this property apart is the detached studio-style ADU with its own entrance, kitchenette, bathroom, and modern finishes ideal for rental income, guests, multigenerational living, a private office, or housing for Dominican University students or faculty. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking to offset your mortgage or an investor searching for versatility, this setup opens the door to possibilities. Outside, the property continues to impress with a long driveway, mature landscaping, tucked-away spa, and a sense of privacy rarely found this close to downtown San Rafael, local dining, shopping, hiking trails, and commuter access. 833 Belle Ave offers more than just a place to live; it offers flexibility for the way people live today.
