Charming Kentfield Cottage

Set on a quiet, sun-dappled 1.25-acre property in Marin County’s charming town of Kentfield, this stylish, cottage-style family home offers sweeping views of open space and surrounding hills. This is an ideal summer rental home for families with young children seeking views, thoughtful design, and access to the outdoors, while still being close to the shops, cafés, and small-town life that make Kentfield so special. The space HOUSE DETAILS The home includes four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a powder room located off the main living area, arranged for relaxed family living. Two bedrooms feature private en-suite baths, while the other two share a full bathroom. The home is especially kid-friendly, with one bedroom intentionally designed to flex as a playroom if that’s more appealing. Bedrooms are spaced for privacy, while the living areas are open and designed for gathering, whether for meals, games, or quiet evenings together. Two French doors open to a spacious porch and large deck with a long dining table, a cozy outdoor sofa, and a Traeger-style grill, creating an easy indoor–outdoor living space for summer barbecues and warm Kentfield evenings. There are plenty of areas for kids to play both indoors and out, including a treehouse perched near the house.
