16 Days on Market
Fully gated. A 40-by-20-foot pool. Park-like grounds with heritage trees and rose gardens. An 1918 estate on the Kentfield/Ross border where entering through the gate feels, unmistakably, like leaving California for the countryside of southern France. Sixteen days on market.
There is a category of Marin County estate that does not negotiate with the present — a property that was built for permanence, maintained with devotion, and offered to the market not because its time has passed but because the next chapter requires a new custodian. 315 Kent Avenue is precisely this: a 1918 property in the sunny flats of Kentfield, on the border with Ross, whose park-like grounds and architectural presence place it in the Architectural Digest conversation without irony or qualification.
The gate closes behind you and the city disappears. Heritage trees and established rose gardens frame the approach; the mature landscaping of a property that has been tended for over a century delivers the layered quality that new planting can never replicate. The 40-by-20-foot pool and spacious yard create the outdoor infrastructure of an estate that was built for the NorCal lifestyle long before the phrase existed. A large courtyard supplements the two-car garage with ample guest parking — a rarity in residential Kentfield.
The main home delivers four bedrooms and four baths across two levels of lovingly preserved architecture: a state-of-the-art living room with exposed beam ceilings, wall paneling, and a stone fireplace that is the room's undeniable center of gravity; a charming recreation room with a pellet stove and direct backyard access; a formal dining room; two powder rooms on the main level; and a cottage-style kitchen that honors the building's character. Upstairs, four bedrooms and two full baths feature domed ceilings, double-hung windows, custom built-ins, and hardwood floors throughout.
Closed at $3,125,000 — $1,054 per square foot — in 16 days. Lovingly preserved and cherished for generations, 315 Kent Avenue awaited its next connoisseur of legacy architecture.
