Room to Gather on a Dominican Drive Lot

Set on a 0.16-acre lot in San Rafael's leafy Dominican neighborhood, 13 Dominican Drive is a 1961 home that lives almost entirely on one floor. It is a four-bedroom, three-bath residence of 2,629 square feet, with all four bedrooms and two of the baths on the main level and a flexible lower floor below.

The main level opens up in a way that suits the way people use a house now. The kitchen and dining area run together around a fireplace, with granite counters, and a formal living room with its own fireplace gives the plan a quieter second room. Replaced windows and doors, updated lighting, crown molding and central air bring the midcentury bones up to date. Both main-level baths have double sinks.

Downstairs, a large bonus room has a separate entrance and a spa-like bath, with the potential to become an ADU, and the oversized two-car garage holds real storage. The backyard is the surprise: a private, park-like garden with mature trees, a patio, a pond, an outdoor kitchen with a built-in BBQ, a hot tub, a sports court and planting beds, all on automatic sprinklers.

Dominican's tree-lined streets sit just above downtown San Rafael. The Dominican University campus is close by, and Fourth Street's restaurants, the Thursday evening market and the SMART station are a few minutes away, with Highway 101 and the Civic Center's Sunday farmers market an easy drive north. A rare amount of outdoor life for a lot this close to town.
