Behind a stately gate on a south-facing rise in lower Kent Woodlands, this fully fenced property sits at a bend in the road with no adjacent neighbors but the one above. A paver motor court greets you at the entrance. Heritage oaks wrap the grounds, and Mt. Tamalpais rises beyond the trees. Privacy like this is why Kent Woodlands is so coveted, yet the setting is anything but remote. Open space surrounds the community, with everything minutes away: Kentfield's schools, Woodlands Market, Rustic Bakery, the Guest House Cafe, and Highway 101. The home has been beautifully remodeled and updated throughout, yet it's wrapped in gardens that took decades to establish. The grounds are curated into a living landscape that changes with the seasons and the light. Terraced beds descend the hillside in layers of greenJapanese maples, climbing roses, citrus, and agave threaded through boulders, flagstone, and wood decking, all beneath the canopy of century-old oaks. A freeform pool sits low among the plantings, heated by roof-mounted solar. It is the kind of setting that takes daily attention to keep, and it shows in every corner. Inside, a complete remodel has reworked the main level, where all the living areas and the primary suite sit on one floortrue single-level living, with the ease of aging in place. Walls were opened to pull in light, and the living room, dining room, and primary suite each open through French doors to a deck facing the mountain, framed by walls of glass. The living room has high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a fireplace flanked by custom blue built-ins. The deck runs the length of the main rooms, with a retractable awning and room to dine outdoors or gather around a fire pit. The kitchen is spacious and light filled, with warm wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a spacious center island. The primary is luxurious and the new spa-like bath has marble mosaic, a freestanding soaking tub, and a skylit glass shower.
