About this property
Blue Sky Cottage! Freshly Renovated & Lovely with Gardens in Sunny Central Marin
Blue Sky Cottage is one-of-a-kind. It is a lovely, serene cottage on a magical property in a prime location. The cottage is large at 800 SF, and is freshly renovated head-to-toe. It has a new kitchen, large new bath and much more. Appliances, fixtures, linens, furnishings, cookware etc. are all top quality. The great room, with peaked ceilings, windows all around and skylights, is airy and filled with light. It is serene with soft blue walls and yummy colors, and opens onto a large deck. It has Roku TV with hundreds of channels for streaming, plus books and games. The cottage has its own dedicated network, and Wi-Fi speed is lightning-fast, 782 Mbps, sufficient for high-quality streaming on many devices at once. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality cookware and dishes and has everything you need to cook wonderful meals. Morning coffee is covered with a full coffee station, with Keurig, French press, electric kettle and all the fixings. A mini-split heating and AC system ensure your year-round comfort. The bathroom is newly renovated and just gorgeous, with a double-vanity and a tub enclosure lined with deep blue tile. The bedroom boasts a beautiful queen-sized solid acacia bed with premium Sealy Posturepedic mattress. It has large windows and lovely light, with shades. There is a very comfortable American Leather queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Linens and pillows are good quality throughout. We take sleep quality seriously here! Designed by the owner, an artist, the cottage sings with color - from the sky blue exterior to the sunshine yellow front door to the lively kitchen tiles. Overall the cottage is fresh, chic, peaceful with a cheerful vibe.
The cottage is nestled in a very private 2-acre gated property filled with gardens, woodlands and redwood groves - a magical oasis! Most guests are quite astonished when they arrive at this property. The property features an historic Victorian main house (where the hosts live) and two rental cottages, grouped around a common lawn and gardens. The lawn is available for all to use - perfect for picnics, little ones or play with your puppy. Behind the house and cottages are wild woodlands, and wildlife spottings are common: red-tailed hawks, owls, foxes, raccoons, hummingbirds and deer all make the rounds here.
The property is in a prime location, central to everything - the perfect base for exploring the Bay Area. It is in sunny Central Marin, clear of the fog belts of Mill Valley or Sausalito. San Francisco is 30 min to the south, wine country is 45 min to the north, and all of beautiful Marin surrounds you. Marin is world-famous for it's abundance of hiking, mountain biking and other outdoorsy fun, not to mention great food and shops. The property has multiple great hikes and bike paths nearby and is easy walking distance to brunch, dinner or deli in sweet downtown Kentfield.
The owners live on the property, in the main house, and are usually available to help with anything you need.

ROSIE: The property comes with an adorable resident mini-bernadoodle named Rosie. We allow her to roam our fenced property and play on the lawn. She is entirely friendly and loves people and other dogs! She fancies herself a guard dog so she sometimes barks at new people (sorry!), but she warms up quickly. She is very sweet so feel free to say hello if you'd like!
