Nestled in San Rafael’s coveted Country Club neighborhood, 7 Sea View Drive is surrounded on 4 sides by decks, patios, and nearly a half-acre of low maintenance landscape with cypress, olive, and pepper trees for true California-style indoor-outdoor living.

Nearly every room in this sunny, bright house with skylights offers views of the Bay, the San Rafael Bridge, and the bird sanctuaries of the Marin Islands.

The heart of this two-level home is an airy eat-in kitchen/great room with stainless steel Viking appliances and built-in Sub-Zero wine cooler.

Off the kitchen there’s a large family room with an electric fireplace so it can be enjoyed even warm days and nights, with French doors that open to a large beautiful patio with a fountain, perfect for dining alfresco or entertaining a large crowd on a summer afternoon.

An Italianate flagstone plaza located on the lower part of the property is also ideal for wine and cheese while overlooking the Bay. An additional plaza above the house has a meditation viewpoint.

The entry of this home features a dramatic 16 foot ceiling with marble floor, as well as an en suite bedroom perfect for guests, teens or a home office. Special hickory floors are throughout the house.

Walk up the beautiful stairway to find the large living room with fireplace, formal dining room, kitchen/great room, and three bedrooms.

The primary en suite bedroom includes a third fireplace plus French doors which lead to a west-facing deck, perfect for watching the sunset at the end of the day. Its large bathroom includes many desirable details such as a spa tub, shower with built-in bench, water closet, and a walk-in clothes closet roomy enough for lounging.

Including a four-car garage (perfect for exercise equipment) with outside parking, multi-room stereo ceiling speakers, separate laundry room, and generous storage, this home designed by a top architect has thoughtful details throughout, all while surrounded by a peaceful Mediterranean-style landscape.
