Property Description
A private, gated 1.35 acre estate with commanding southeast-facing Bay views offers an extraordinary setting surrounded by nature in San Rafael's coveted Country Club neighborhood. Recently renovated and offering approximately 4,510 square feet, this distinctive 5-bedroom, 3-bath residence combines dramatic architecture, exceptional space, and flexible living across three levels, with bedrooms and a full bath on every level. Soaring 30-foot ceilings, graceful arches, nine skylights and abundant natural light create a dramatic sense of scale. The formal dining and living room are connected by a dreamy view deck, while the updated kitchen and family room offer a more relaxed gathering space. The kitchen features quartz countertops, water views, and all new stainless steel appliances, including an induction cooktop and Liebherr refrigerator. Beautifully refinished oak floors and two gas fireplaces add warmth and character to these rooms. Two spacious bedrooms and full bath complete the main level. The private primary suite occupies its own level with a gas fireplace, high ceilings, updated bath with Asian-inspired round etched glass window over soaking tub, walk-in closet, new Berber carpeting, dedicated mini-split, and stunning views from your private deck. The lower level offers two additional bedrooms, full bath, substantial storage, and undeveloped space with potential for future customization or ADU. Six new fire-rated TimberTech decks extend the living space outdoors, including four directly off bedrooms. Panoramic views stretch across the Bay from the Richmond Bridge and East Bay hills to the Bay Bridge and Sutro Tower. Gated grounds include a level lawn beneath a wisteria pergola, two patios, landscaped areas, and ample parking. Some recent improvements include new HVAC, kitchen counters and appliances, electrical upgrades, water heater, lighting, refreshed bathrooms, interior and exterior paint, landscaping, fencing, refinished oak floors and whole new sewer system and pump installation. Roof and siding are approximately 10 years old. Ideally located with access to Harry Barbier Open Space Memorial Park and trails connecting to China Camp State Park, yet minutes from Montecito Shopping Center, Whole Foods, and downtown San Rafael. A rare combination of panoramic Bay views, privacy, acreage, dramatic scale, and thoughtful improvements 260 Highland offers a truly special opportunity for estate living surrounded by nature.
