Custom Modern Retreat

12 Castlewood Drive San Rafael, CA, 94901
$2,425,000

Welcome to 2 Mora Avenue in stunning Fairfax, CA. This custom built-home was completed in 2015 with extensive attention to detail. Fabulous, modern construction creates the setting for a timeless, elegant and casual lifestyle with incredible indoor / outdoor flow. Situated on over a quarter acre parcel with expansive views of nature and San Pablo Bay this property boasts an incredible sense of being away from it all, yet at the same time is just minutes from bustling downtown Fairfax.


The main level of this home is all about the open-concept.  Enter through the custom front door and to your right is a fantastic main living room with a gas-burning fireplace. A set of French doors opens to a level turf area that captures the majestic views. Adjacent is an open, yet formal dining area that flows to the spacious kitchen and second living area featuring tremendous, vaulted ceilings and a corner of glass that takes you to the outdoors.   The massive kitchen wraps around with custom, soft close European white oak cabinetry, Silestone counter tops and a suite of JennAir appliances.There is an adjacent more casual eating area here as well.


Just outside is a covered, heated area with a pass-through, snack counter from the kitchen. Of course there is an outdoor kitchen with redwood countertops sourced from trees on the property. There is a plumbed Coyote grill and two-burner cooktop and well as a sink with hot and cold water complete the picture. A gas fire pit is nearby, perfect for gathering around after the sun sets.

Ascend upstairs and you are welcomed by a landing surrounded by windows that capture the views. The primary suite is spacious and features a set of doors that open to a private, view-facing balcony. There is a stunning walk-in closet as well as an additional closet for ample storage. The spa-like bathroom features a double vanity made of reclaimed wood, a deep soaking tub, a rain style shower and a separate WC. Down the hall are two adjacent bedrooms that share a bathroom. Naturally the laundry in on this level as well.


At the end of the hall, a door takes you to the outdoors for pool and spa access.The custom, covered lap pool basks in the sun mid-day.  Attached to the pool is a party pool as well for relaxing or socializing as well as an outdoor shower. Just steps away, a 6 person hot tub adjacent to the redwoods is the perfect spot for looking across the canyon at the vista.


Private, yet attached, there is a separate 1 bedroom unit that features a living room, modern bathroom, a crisp white kitchen and its own contained laundry and a walk in closet. There is private outdoor space for this area, as well as a separate access from the street. A perfect guest suite or a possible rental - however it was thoughtfully designed to be able to be easily incorporated into the main living space should someone desire.

On the lowest level of the home there is a bonus room which is a great home office or media room option. The attached two car garage is spacious and pristine, offering ample storage, a workspace area and 220V electric for an EV. There is plenty of off-street parking as well.

The home features a multi zone Sonos system throughout, radiant heated floors, and on demand hot water.

Neighborhood

This town of 7,500 residents just north of Mount Tamalpais is 30 minutes from San Francisco, less than 20 miles from Point Reyes, and is known as one of Marin County’s more affordable communities.


The heart of Fairfax is Broadway Boulevard, which parallels Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, the main traffic corridor heading west. Broadway is a perfect walking street where locals shop at Fairfax Coffee Roastery, purchase fresh local produce at the farmers market, and duck into Fairfax Variety for toys, tchotchkes, and candy.


If Fairfax feels like it is living in a time warp, that's just fine with its residents, who have passed ordinances prohibiting chain stores, plastic bags, and Styrofoam takeout-food packaging. The art-deco movie theater and 19 Broadway Bar & Night Club are at the center of the action when it comes to nightlife in Fairfax.
