Nestled on glorious, park-like grounds in San Rafael's coveted Dominican neighborhood, this enchanting 1904 gated estate, a wonderful example of the Arts & Crafts movement, is rich in character and soulful handcrafted features. A circular driveway sets a gracious tone, leading to a stately residence inspired by the sensibilities of Bernard Maybeck where natural materials, bespoke craftsmanship and layers of architectural elements all come together. Infused with exquisite period details, the residence showcases leaded glass windows, finely crafted cabinetry, handsome panelling and fireplace mantels in addition to a wonderful carved Arts & Crafts staircase railing each element a nod to the property's rich history. The home offers 5 bedrooms, 3 baths & 2 powder rooms with all of the public rooms thoughtfully arranged on the main level, and all of the bedrooms upstairs creating an ideal flow for both everyday living and gracious entertaining. The grounds are extraordinary with its expansive lawns, mature trees, swimming pool, sport court, a 2-car garage and ample off-street parking. Ideally located adjacent to the Dominican University campus with classes, sporting events, and outdoor theater, 178 Palm Avenue is a true legacy property that will be cherished for generations.
