In what is thought to have once been part of a dairy farm, this Lomita Park home in San Rafael carries a rich history, evolving from its original 1896 structure to a 1928 expansion and its present-day character. Designed in a classic “shotgun” style, the home features high ceilings, timeless moldings, and some vintage light fixtures that highlight its enduring charm.

With its southeast-facing front, the interiors are filled with natural light, enhancing the cozy living room with a welcoming fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases. At the heart of the home, a spacious country kitchen opens directly to an inviting patio-deck that is perfect for gatherings and everyday enjoyment. Three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a laundry area complete the vintage floor plan, while modern amenities like air conditioning, a newer furnace and ducting, and the modern-function gas fireplace add year-round comfort.

Outdoors, the sunny upslope lot reveals two redwood decks overlooking the backyard. The mid-deck has a delightful playhouse, while the upper deck offers distant views and a hot tub for relaxation under the stars.

A two-car garage provides ample space for storage or workshop, and the large lot invites gardening possibilities. This is a home with charm, character, and plenty of space to start your own memories.
