202 Solano Street, San Rafael, CA 94901
What's special
There's a lot to love about life in Sun Valley, and this home makes it easy to see why. Set on a corner lot in one of San Rafael's most beloved neighborhoods, this inviting 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers approximately 1,522 square feet with thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces, and a peaceful backyard retreat. At the heart of the home is a beautifully remodeled kitchen with a large center island, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, wine refrigerator, abundant cabinetry, and an open connection to the dining area. It's a bright, comfortable gathering space that works equally well for everyday life and entertaining. The adjoining living room features a fireplace and expansive windows and sliding door that brings in wonderful natural light. Three bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility, while the remodeled hall bathroom adds a fresh, contemporary touch. A spiral staircase leads to an unexpected treat: an upstairs loft that's ideal for a home office, playroom, creative space, or quiet retreat, along with additional storage. Outside, the private backyard feels like an extension of the home, with generous paver patios, mature landscaping, and a vine-covered pergola creating an inviting setting for dining, entertaining, or simply slowing down at the end of the day. Solar panels with battery backup, mini-split heating and air conditioning, and dual-pane windows add everyday comfort and efficiency. And then there's the location close to Sun Valley Elementary, neighborhood park, Andy's Local Market, the vibrant West End of San Rafael, and all that makes this special pocket of San Rafael such a wonderful place to call home.
