This classic Arts & Crafts style house, influenced by Julia Morgan, who was working on the Newell House below on Prospect, was built in 1915. It boasts a clinker fireplace that is nearly identical to Julia Morgan’s creation at the Newell House. This rare offering affords the ultimate in easy access to town, privacy, serenity, and magnificent south and west-facing views of Mount Tamalpais, Mount Baldy, and the San Anselmo Ross Valley Watershed.

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms; with a formal dining room; eat in kitchen and huge living room with full on Mount Tam views. The dining room and living room feature original old- growth redwood paneling – an exceptionally rare and highly sought-after feature.

With stunning views from most of the house and the possibility of expanding into the undeveloped lower level, you have an opportunity to create a very special home of over 3,000 square feet.

This location will unlock access to the highly sought-after schools of San Anselmo. Wade Thomas Elementary (9/10*) (0.5 miles); White Hill Middle School (8/10*) (3.3 miles) and Archie Williams High School (8/10*) (1 mile).

The history is as follows: Three sisters, the daughters of a Sea Captain for the China Merchants’ Steam Navigation Company, came back from Shanghai in the early 1900’s and made The Barber Tract of San Anselmo’s Winship district their home.

Each retained a special architect to build their three homes – Bernard Maybeck, Julia Morgan and Garden Mitchell. Nellie Eudora gave the nod to W. Garden Mitchell an architect of local renown who had already created the San Anselmo library and town hall in the Spanish Revival Style. Mitchell was to be inspired by his contact with Julia Morgan who was working with Nellie’s sister at the Newell house below on Prospect.
