Perfectly positioned within prestigious Peacock Gap, this spacious and sunlit contemporary home impresses with its gracious scale, beautiful quality of light, and thoughtfully designed interiors that blur the line between indoors and out, offering a rare sense of calm and comfort while capturing the ease of California living. A sought-after Larkin residence, the home showcases hallmarks of the distinctive design, including vaulted ceilings, broad hallways, and walls of glass that enhance its openness and connection to the surrounding landscape. A grand foyer creates a striking first impression before opening to the formal living room, where soaring ceilings create volume, new laminate flooring adds warmth and continuity, and an expansive fireplace serves as the room’s focal point. Large windows frame views of the private backyard and lush gardens, while sliding doors open directly to a large Trex deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The formal dining room, highlighted by a tray ceiling and statement brass chandelier, offers an elegant setting for memorable gatherings. Recently refreshed and truly the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is beautiful and functional, featuring an oversized island with bar seating and abundant storage, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a Thermador refrigerator, double ovens, and a Bosch gas cooktop, as well as a large pantry. At the far end of the kitchen, a built-in desk captures Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and water views. A sunlit eat-in nook creates the perfect spot for morning coffee or casual meals before flowing naturally into the inviting family room, where a stately fireplace, walls of glass, and sliding doors opening to the deck and gardens further enhance the relaxed California lifestyle. The serene primary suite is tucked away on the main level and offers a calm retreat with a beautifully appointed en-suite bath featuring a double vanity, oversized shower with dual rainfall showerheads, and a spacious walk-in closet. A chic powder room with a classic vanity and brass sconces is thoughtfully positioned for guests and completes the main level. Just five steps above is the secondary bedroom wing, privately separated from the main entertaining areas. Continuing the hallmark design elements, this level features a wide hallway and three light-filled bedrooms with beautiful outlooks of the verdant setting, with one bedroom enjoying peekaboo bridge and water views. A hall bath with a large vanity, ample storage, and shower over tub comfortably serves the upper level, along with a laundry room featuring cabinetry and a folding counter. Designed to take full advantage of Peacock Gap’s temperate climate, the beautifully landscaped backyard offers a series of inviting spaces to gather, dine, and unwind. The spacious deck, extending directly from the living areas, creates the ideal setting for al fresco dining and relaxed outdoor living, while a sunken hot tub is the perfect spot for cooler evenings. Just beyond, the level flagstone entertaining area sits beneath a romantic wisteria-covered arbor, surrounded by mature maple trees, lush plantings, and colorful stone garden beds. Additional highlights include a two-car garage with interior access and an adjacent mud room. Ideally located near Andy's Market, McNears Beach, Peacock Gap Golf Club, and China Camp State Park, with vibrant downtown San Rafael just moments away, this exceptional residence offers the rare combination of architectural character, everyday ease, and the best of California living.
