Beautifully updated tri-level townhouse in the desirable Peacock Gap neighborhood.  This rarely available end-unit offers an open-concept design filled with natural light and framed by peaceful, scenic views. The inviting living room features a charming brick fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and expansive windows that bring the outdoors in.    The updated kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly together, creating the perfect space for entertaining family and friends. The kitchen is equipped with newer stainless-steel appliances and offers direct access to the main living area for easy everyday living.    Downstairs, the spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat with a walk-in closet, generous en-suite bathroom, and a secluded deck surrounded by nature. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms each feature skylights and private balconies, creating bright and relaxing spaces to unwind.    An attached two-car garage provides ample storage, while the main deck offers the perfect setting to enjoy the tranquil greenery and Marin's signature natural beauty. Ideally located near McNears Beach, China Camp State Park, scenic hiking and biking trails, and Andy's Market, this home combines comfort, convenience, and a true connection to the outdoors.

Neighborhood

San Rafael emerges as a captivating city where architectural innovation meets historical depth, embodied most dramatically by the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Marin Civic Center. Completed in 1962, this futuristic landmark transcends typical municipal architecture, its sci-fi-worthy design serving as a metaphorical and literal beacon of the city's forward-thinking spirit. The downtown area continues this legacy of innovation through active redevelopment efforts, with the Smith Rafael Film Center anchoring a cultural landscape that celebrates artistic diversity and community engagement.

The city's culinary and cultural landscape is as diverse as its architectural heritage. Fourth Street pulses with international flavor, offering a gastronomic journey that spans continents—sushi, Indian, Thai, Italian, Mexican, and Puerto Rican cuisines coexist within blocks, reflecting San Rafael's multicultural character. Thursday afternoon farmers markets animate the street with local produce, live music, and a sense of communal vibrancy that transforms urban space into a dynamic gathering point.

Architecturally, San Rafael offers a remarkable residential tapestry. From the sought-after midcentury Eichler homes of Terra Linda to the Victorian structures surrounding Dominican College and the custom homes of Lucas Valley, the city presents a nuanced residential landscape that provides diversity in both style and price point.

Nestled between Mount Tamalpais and San Pablo Bay, San Rafael represents more than a location—it's a living narrative of California's architectural and cultural evolution, where historical depth meets contemporary innovation.
