A Complete Rebuild
The sellers bought this Corte Madera canyon home in late 2025 as a project, and treated it like one. Almost a year later, the whole-house renovation is complete: every system replaced rather than repaired — new roof, new plumbing, new HVAC with added air conditioning, new LED lighting throughout. The scope extended to everything a buyer touches, too — new windows, new interior and exterior doors including the garage, new flooring and trim, and new landscaping outside. It is the rare renovation where the unglamorous work was given the same attention as the finishes.
The Kitchen and Living Spaces
Wide-plank white oak runs continuously through the main living areas, underfoot in an L-shaped galley kitchen finished with quartz countertops. The cabinetry runs two-tone: white uppers finished with matte black hardware, oak-toned lower cabinets below, and floating oak shelving standing in for cabinet doors elsewhere in the room — a quieter, more considered choice than a kitchen full of doors. A full stainless appliance suite, including a professional-style range, sits beneath a vent hood faced in the same tile as the backsplash. The refrigerator is smart-enabled, tracking pantry inventory, flagging items running low, and displaying local weather — a practical touch tucked into an otherwise quiet room. The adjoining living room gained a vaulted, tray ceiling and recessed lighting, with a fireplace flanked by built-in floating shelves and a wall of sliding glass onto the patio.
The Primary Suite
A pair of wood-stained barn doors on black hardware opens to a walk-in closet, set opposite a primary bath finished for quiet use rather than display: a freestanding soaking tub beneath a picture window, a glass-enclosed rainfall shower, and a floating vanity. The home's two secondary baths — an en suite off the second bedroom and a hall bath serving the two smaller bedrooms — both carry sage green tile and floating vanities, handled with the same unhurried care as the primary.
Outdoor Living
New landscaping and a flagstone patio step down from a wraparound wood deck, set against a wooded hillside that gives the back of the house its privacy. At approximately 0.37 acres (about 16,000 square feet), mature oak and bay laurel screen the lot from the nearest neighbor, whose house sits further up the slope — privacy achieved through landscape rather than isolation.
