Available January 1!
Welcome to your new home in the charming Dominican/Black Canyon neighborhood of San Rafael! This bright and inviting two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and access to nature.
One half of a side-by-side duplex, the home features hardwood floors, abundant natural light, a private fenced yard, private laundry (w/ brand new washer & dryer!), and a covered carport. With thoughtful touches throughout, it's a space that feels both warm and functional, ideal for young couples, small families, or work-from-home professionals seeking tranquility without sacrificing convenience.
Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, the property backs directly onto the Gold Hill Fire Road trailhead, offering instant access to open space and outdoor recreation. Despite its peaceful setting, you're just a short 5-10 minute drive from downtown San Rafael and the Montecito Shopping Center, making it easy to enjoy the best of both worlds, nature and city living.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to live in one of San Rafael's most desirable and serene neighborhoods!
