The magical thing about living in Los Ranchitos is that you're only 15 minutes to the GG Bridge but you feel like you are in a rural setting far away from everything. Known for its larger parcels and country atmosphere, this special enclave offers space, quiet, and privacy while remaining close to everything. Set on approximately 1.4 acres, 55 Ranch Road captures that rare balancean escape-like setting only minutes from shopping, parks, dining, and an easy commute to the city. The property includes a four-bedroom, 2,356 sq ft main residence with a pool, plus a fully separate, newly renovated 448 sq ft ADU ideal for guests, in-laws, an au pair, or rental income. Inside the main home, the living spaces feel open yet distinct. The bright living room is anchored by a brick fireplace and dramatic vaulted wood-beam ceilings, while a large picture window frames hillside views and fills the room with natural light. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and features counter seating, Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops, space for a desk or work station, and a breakfast nook overlooking the backyard. Built-in glass-front cabinetry adds both charm and practical storage. On the main floor are three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including one en-suite. One bedroom easily serves as a family or media room and opens directly to the pool through sliding doors, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a large walk-in closet, en-suite bath, and loft area ideal for an office, reading retreat, or creative space. The fenced backyard features a pool with waterfall, turf lawn, gated side access, and multiple areas for dining, relaxing, or gathering with friends. A charming country path leads to the barn, beautifully transformed in 2025 into a fully permitted ADU with high-end finishes. Complete with wide-plank wood floors, full kitchen, full bath, living area, Murphy bed, built-in storage, and its own private driveway with basketball hoop, the space feels polished, modern, and fully self-contained. Los Ranchitos offers a uniquely peaceful lifestyle with convenient access to some of Marin's best recreation and amenities, including China Camp State Park, McInnis Park, the Marin Civic Center Farmers' Market, and the shops and restaurants of Downtown San Rafael. Here, you can enjoy a slower pace at home without sacrificing connection to the rest of Marin and San Francisco.
