Delightful, light-filled and charming cottage PLUS 2 separate studio units. The main home has 2 bdrms and 1 bath, wood floors, pitched ceiling, spacious living areas and multiple outdoor areas plus a one-car garage. In addition, there are two similar style studio rental units, each with their own outdoor living spaces and one parking spot. Both are bright and welcoming, and can continue to be used for appealing rentals or later as a home offices, gym, guest suite, for young adults or extended family. Imagine this as your own residence in its entirety or as a family compound. Currently the smaller units are rented to lovely tenants. The yard is filled with flowering plants and trees, with a meandering path from the top of the lot to the bottom. There is an area for a hammock in the shade near the fig tree, plenty of small patios, areas for gardening and a deck for one of the studios. There is a large basement under the main cottage with plentiful storage and a washer/dryer, currently shared by the residents. This is an amazing opportunity to own a move-in ready cottage with 2 tenants in place, that both feels private and yet close to both downtown San Anselmo and Fairfax. Neighbors seem to enjoy daily walks with friends and pets, making it easy to say hello. Appointments are required for pre-approved buyers; there are no open houses scheduled. This is a rare opportunity in San Anselmo!
