This enchanting 1940s cottage in a storybook setting is only 5 blocks from Downtown San Anselmo and in the highly-rated Ross Valley School District. Set in a neighborhood of historic homes, 50 Bella Vista has charm and privacy with an outstanding setting and location. Full of beautiful light from many windows, the large, rustic, lodge-like living room can accommodate several furniture schemes. An old-fashioned kitchen could have a small table or be updated and possibly enlarged* into the laundry area. Hardwood floors flow from the living room to the hallway and bedrooms. There is also a west-facing deck off the living room and the larger bedroom. The home is surrounded by a delightful garden that has a magnificent view of Mount Tam from the front yard sitting circle. Down the dirt driveway you'll find a small garage with additional storage. Red Hill Shopping Center and Andronico's Grocery are 2 blocks away. Vibrant Downtown San Anselmo is only a little farther and known for its strong sense of community, fine dining, shopping, year-round events, parks, and more. 50 Bella Vista provides easy access to some of the best Marin has to offer. *Buyer to satisfy any expansion or remodel intentions with all relevant jurisdictions.
