Charming Modernized Cottage In Homestead Valley

Nestled on a verdant, hillside above Laverne Avene in Homestead Valley stands a 100-year-old cottage that was once the home of a co-founder of the Homestead Valley Land Trust and his family. Originally a wood-framed cottage built in 1924, and later expanded in the 1950’s, 117 Laverne Avenue emerged organically over time as a rustic shingle cottage with mid-century modern influences. Now under new ownership and lovingly remodeled, this sweet residence greets another century and a new family to call it home.
Offering 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this piece of Homestead’s land preservation history presents modern living that embraces the valley’s natural beauty, and features all new energy-saving appliances, views across Homestead Valley to Mount Tamalpais, gardens, and outdoor relaxation. The intimate 3rd bedroom is small and sunny -- perfect for a nursery, playroom, study area, or office. A warm ground level bonus room could easily be your ample office, exercise room, or entertainment area. A pleasant laundry room adjoins this space. All new lighting fixtures recall the home’s mid-century personality like bright new jewelry.
Sustainably refurbished with emission-free and hardwood flooring, re-used and re-cycled materials, new fire-resistant fiber-cement siding around most of the structure, and organic, drought-tolerant garden plantings, this home embraces healthy living. Garden patios and pathways were constructed by hand of recycled landscape materials by a long-ago prior owner, adding to the property’s historical character.
This home has been minimally staged so as not to distract your own inspirations! It is being offered unfurnished.
Seeking long-term tenancy, pleasant personalities, and quiet, responsible residents who will appreciate and care for this lovely home. Garden appreciation and skills are a plus. This is not a short-term rental and is not suitable for persons with mobility challenges (e.g., stairs, uneven outdoor surfaces).
