Situated on a prime corner lot in San Rafael's desirable Villa Real neighborhood, 50 Balboa Ave offers a rare blend of peaceful retreat and everyday convenience. With lush mature gardens that wind through the property and bursts of tropical color from Birds of Paradise, this home feels like your own private sanctuary yet it's just minutes from town, shopping, and the waterfront. Inside, the home exudes warmth and flexibility, with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a living unit downstairs perfect for extended family, guests, or rental potential. The heart of the home is a custom kitchen with an eat-in dining area that opens to a spacious, sun-drenched deck ideal for morning coffee, weekend brunches, or golden hour gatherings. Every space is thoughtfully connected, inviting easy indoor-outdoor living year-round. Whether heading to nearby Andy's Market, the yacht clubs, or exploring China Camp and McNears Beach, life here is all about balance nature and community, calm and connection. This is more than a home. It's a Marin lifestyle laid-back, well-rooted, and effortlessly inviting.
