Welcome to what is arguably the best waterfront location in San Rafael at this price point. This beautifully updated one-story condo offers sweeping 180° water views and a spacious redwood deck that creates a natural extension of the living area—perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply soaking in the scenery.

Inside, the open floor plan connects the living room, dining area, and chef’s kitchen into one inviting space. Vaulted ceilings and solid oak hardwood floors add a sense of airiness and elegance, while walls of windows bathe the home in natural light. The living room features a cozy fireplace with built-in bookcases, creating the ideal spot to gather with family or friends.

The kitchen is a dream for any cook, with a Heritage Series Bertazzoni gas range, honed stone countertops, and a built-in dining banquette designed for gathering. The primary bedroom is a serene retreat, complete with a thoughtfully updated en-suite bath and sliding doors that open onto a sunny, garden patio finished in bluestone. A second bedroom with a built-in desk with a view of the marina and a full bath, also tastefully remodeled, provide comfort for family or guests.

This home includes a one-car garage with a new automatic opener, abundant natural light, and an additional designated parking space. HOA amenities add to the lifestyle with access to a community dock, swimming pool, and patio area.

All this is just minutes from Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, local restaurants, and neighborhood favorites like Andy’s Market at Loch Lomond Harbor—a perfect spot for a walk along the levee or a glass of wine on the patio. Nearby recreation includes Peacock Gap Golf Club, McNear’s Beach Park, China Camp State Park, and miles of scenic hiking trails. In Porto Bello, you’ll enjoy the perfect balance of nature, convenience, and waterfront living—an ideal place to call home.
