49 Karl Avenue

This is the kind of San Anselmo home that comes with more than four walls - it comes with a bit of history. Before mountain biking became synonymous with Marin, cycling pioneer Gary Fischer reportedly used the garage as his workshop - a fitting footnote in a county where bikes, trails and outdoor adventure are simply part of the culture. And then there is the way to town. At the end of the street, the historic 86-foot-long Patterson pedestrian bridge carries you across the creek and straight to downtown, Redhill Shopping Center or Memorial Park. This house has small town San Anselmo roots you feel, both inside and outside the house. With 5 full bedrooms (one currently used as a den), there is also space for absolutely everybody. The two upstairs bedrooms share their own floor and bath, creating a sense of privacy that's ideal for kids, guests or a quiet home office. Located on the first floor, the primary suite features a renovated bath that includes a smart toilet for added luxury and convenience. An updated kitchen brings warmth and light to everyday living and family gatherings while sliding doors open to the outside creating a seamless extension of the living space. There is even an outdoor shower! Thoughtful updates include a new roof, upgraded electrical panels and refinished floors. All this is found in one of the most beloved neighborhoods in all of San Anselmo. You can't miss the rare small town feel here - where people stop to say hello, kids wander between houses and dogs are known by their first names.
