Remarks

Magnolia House is an iconic estate in San Rafael's coveted Dominican neighborhood. The captivating and expansive Georgian home offers a rare blend of timeless elegance and incredible potential, nestled on over 1.3 level acres of beautiful heritage grounds. The historic facade with its gracious entrance is enhanced by its beautiful detailing and setting. The original home of approximately 3000 sq ft was built in 1918 as a wedding gift. An addition was added in about 1930. It remained a single-family residence until 2007 when a non-profit purchased the property. The interior offers a glimpse of the refined era in the living, dining, and family rooms. The home has thirteen bedrooms. There is also a Carriage House with seven rooms. It could be converted back to garages or other endless possibilities. This is a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to create a grand estate or for an organization to envision a program that would complement the university.
