A rare opportunity to reimagine a legacy estate. Set on a commanding 1.3 acre parcel in San Rafael’s exclusive Country Club neighborhood, this 5BD/3BA, 4,510 sq. ft. estate, built in 1980, frames an ever-changing canvas of water, bridges, rolling hills, and city lights stretching from the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and East Bay skyline to the iconic Bay Bridge and its sparkling Bay Lights display.
