Property Description

Hidden behind gates and tucked away at the end of a long, private driveway, 8 Sir Francis Drake is a remarkable retreat that feels a world away from the everyday. Set on over 1.15 private acres with coveted southern exposure, the property is surrounded by mature landscaping and tranquil natural beauty, creating the rare feeling of country living while remaining just moments from the best of Marin. Extensively renovated and expanded since purchase, the approximately 4,289-square-foot residence blends modern comfort with timeless design. Soaring ceilings and dramatic walls of glass flood the interiors with natural light, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out while framing beautiful views in every direction. The open-concept floor plan offers exceptional flow for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining, creating spaces that feel equally grand and inviting. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen opens seamlessly to a sun-filled breakfast room and generous family living spaces, while a beautiful formal dining room provides an elegant backdrop for gatherings. A spacious walk-in pantry and oversized laundry room add thoughtful functionality to the home's exceptional design. The main residence features five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, complemented by an attached studio complete with a kitchenette and additional full bathroom - ideal for guests, extended family, an au pair, or a private home office. Rarely does a property combine this level of privacy, acreage, architectural volume, and convenience. From its gorgeous setting and abundant sunshine to its seamless indoor-outdoor living, 8 Sir Francis Drake offers an extraordinary lifestyle in one of Marin's most desirable locations.
