Terra Linda · San Rafael
36 Days on Market

Space, flexibility, and the easy rhythm of one of Marin County's most livable neighborhoods — 20 Esmeyer Drive delivers on the promise that Terra Linda has made to generations of Marin families.

Rarely does a four-bedroom, three-bath home of this scale come to market in Central Marin at this price point. Spanning 2,451 square feet on a generous 0.20-acre lot, this updated and expanded residence in San Rafael's beloved Terra Linda neighborhood was designed with both everyday comfort and multigenerational flexibility in mind. A ground-floor primary suite offers the ease of single-level living, while the light-filled open living and dining rooms create the kind of connected, airy flow that defines California residential design at its best.

The remodeled kitchen anchors the main level with an eat-in counter and a walk-in pantry — a feature that rarely appears at this price point in Marin. A cozy family room with a gas fireplace adds warmth, while a convenient home office or den completes the floor. The location is equally compelling: Terra Linda is renowned across Marin for its sunny microclimate, flat and walkable streets, proximity to 101, and consistently excellent weather — qualities that keep buyer demand steady regardless of broader market conditions.

Marin County Median
~$1.8M
Countywide median held firm through Q3 2023, with Terra Linda's single-family stock sitting at a relative value compared to waterfront Marin towns.
30-Yr Mortgage Rate
~7.3%
A 23-year high, compressing buyer pools — yet well-priced, move-in-ready homes with strong lot sizes continued to attract qualified offers.
Marin Q3 Sales Vol.
↓ ~17%
Year-over-year sales fell ~17% — a supply-driven decline. Buyer demand for family-sized homes in North San Rafael remained steady throughout.
Terra Linda Demand
Consistent
Terra Linda's sunny climate, flat terrain, and access to 101 insulate it from market swings — one of Marin's most reliable family neighborhoods.
At $724/sq ft, this sale reflects the relative value Terra Linda offers within Marin County — meaningful sq footage at a price point that larger Marin Peninsula towns can rarely match. Thirty-six days on market in a high-rate environment speaks to disciplined pricing and genuine buyer demand for family-scale homes in Central Marin.
