A 1907 Cottage, a Few Flat Blocks from Downtown Fairfax
On a level lot at the Fairfax end of San Anselmo, 127 Oak Knoll Avenue is a three-bedroom, two-bath cottage built in 1907. Hedges and a low-maintenance front yard lead to a covered front porch, the kind of porch that turns into a second living room on summer evenings.
The living room carries the home's age with grace: beamed ceilings, a brick fireplace, wood floors and generous windows that pull in natural light. The kitchen is practical and well equipped, with a gas range, a large sink and good storage, and a dining area with a built-in bench sits right alongside it. All three bedrooms are on one level. Two share an updated bath with a shower and tub, and the primary suite has its own updated ensuite bath. A washer and dryer are inside the home.
Out back, a private, level yard is ready for outdoor dinners, gardening or simply an afternoon in the sun, and an uncovered courtyard adds another spot to sit outside. Two covered parking spaces are a real asset on a lot this size.
Few places in Marin are as walkable as this one. Downtown Fairfax is a few flat blocks away, with Good Earth Natural Foods, the shops and restaurants along Bolinas Road and Broadway, and Peri Park. Live music, coffee and the Saturday energy of Fairfax are all close, and the trails toward Cascade Canyon and the Fairfax hills start just beyond town. More than a century in, this cottage still feels right at home in its neighborhood.
