31 Gold Hill Grade San Rafael living room

Breathtaking Living Room with 20-Foot Ceilings

Guests are welcomed into the home via an inviting wrap-around veranda which is reminiscent of a boutique hotel. The breathtaking living room truly makes a statement with soaring 20-foot ceilings, a stunning modern chandelier, wide plank wood floors and a gas fireplace. A modern glass and metal railing system leads up the stairs and along the open hallway of the upper level, giving the main living area a volume and scale rarely seen in Marin.

Custom Kitchen Opens to Living Room and Outdoor Dining Patio

The custom eat-in kitchen offers an open-concept feel while providing some separation from the main living room and the formal dining area. The large center island is ideal for informal dining and there is a relaxing seating/TV area adjacent to the kitchen – perfect for families. This kitchen has it all – Thermador stainless appliances, quartz countertops, custom tile backsplash, plenty of cabinet space and a large walk-in pantry. The kitchen/TV area opens out to an inviting outdoor dining patio that connects to the pool and lawn areas.

The main level also features a large dining room with views of the surrounding trees and hills as well as a guest room/office and a large full bath with custom tile.

Gorgeous Master Suite with Private View Deck

The bright, master suite is on the upper level along with 3 additional bedrooms and boasts a large walk-in closet and a private deck with views of the surrounding hills and forest. The spa-like en-suite bathroom offers a designer vanity with dual sinks, a soaking tub and large custom tile shower with glass surround.

Spacious Media Room

The spacious media room is located on the lower level of the home separate from the other living areas. It is the perfect room for viewing movies or playing video games. A half bath is located on the same level as well as additional storage space.

Beautiful Grounds Featuring a Glass-Sided ModPool

This private estate has a gated entrance and a gracious paver driveway with ample guest parking in addition to the large 3-car garage. Beautiful landscaping surrounds the inviting and expansive front veranda.

The special property features one of the first Modpools or shipping container pools in Marin county (add website). The pool is located on the western side of the home and features a glass side where swimmers can look out on the yard and grounds below. It is surrounded by an Ipe deck with a glass railing and also features an outdoor shower. The pool can be partitioned so the shallow end becomes a hot tub. The private master suite view deck is just above the pool, so parents can keep an eye on children while they play.

The adjacent bluestone patio offers ample space for outdoor dining and lounging options. There are also two lawn areas providing plenty of outdoor space for children to play.

“New construction in Marin County is rare – and construction of this caliber is even more rare. This home offers a wonderful location, ideal floor plan and checks all the boxes.

I am excited to meet the lucky buyers who get to call 31 Gold Hill Grade home.” — Thomas

More About the Dominican Neighborhood

This beautiful area, less-commonly referred to as Black Canyon, is situated in a highly-desirable location east of Highway 101 and surrounds the campus of Dominican University of California. It is located just minutes from downtown San Rafael, and is walking / biking distance to a number of restaurants and coffee shops. Nearby supermarkets include Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s, and United Markets.

The neighborhood, which most call “The Dominican,” is known for its historic homes, including many in the Victorian and Mediterranean styles. Bounded by open space to the north and east, it is a walker’s paradise, with fire roads criss-crossing the open space. Many homes feature sunny southern exposures with views of San Rafael city lights and Mt. Tamalpais. Some residents like to bike and hike in Barbier Park. The neighborhood also features a Property Owners Association with a very informative website featuring the latest neighborhood news.

The area is served by Coleman Elementary School. For high school there is a choice between either San Rafael High School or Terra Linda High School, but be sure to check with the San Rafael School District to verify availability and enrollment. The prestigious Marin Academy is also located nearby. You may wish to consult my schools guide for more information.

Also be sure to check out one of my favorite hikes in the Dominican: The Gold Hill Fire Road Trail Hike.

More About San Rafael

San Rafael is Marin’s oldest and largest city, with a population of close to 60,000 people. Established in 1874, it is the seat of the County of Marin and is home to Marin’s second most popular tourist destination (after Muir Woods), the Frank Lloyd Wright Civic Center. The building was the last major structure and the only government building designed by the world famous architect. It is now a national historic landmark and hosts one of the country’s best farmers markets each Thursday (seasonal, downtown) and Sunday (year-round).

Named after the Mission San Rafael Archangel, built by Spanish missionaries in 1817, San Rafael is located 11 miles north of San Francisco. The area enjoys some of the best weather in Marin as it is largely free of the coastal fog that areas closer to San Francisco experience. At the city’s heart is its charming, vibrant downtown shopping district which is a mixture of Victorian commercial buildings, ethnic restaurants, street cafes, retail stores, a historic movie theater and numerous music venues, giving San Rafael its hometown flavor.
