San Anselmo
Built from the ground up in 2017 by Builder Girl — a local woman-owned design-build firm — this farm-style San Anselmo home was conceived with precision: walnut floors, radiant heat, a gas fireplace, a spa primary suite with ensuite office nook, and a front porch that makes the neighborhood feel like a gift every morning.
The Alameda is one of San Anselmo's most beloved residential addresses — a shaded street close to Sir Francis Drake Boulevard with easy access to the best of both San Anselmo's walkable downtown and Fairfax's more eccentric pleasures, to hiking trails in the hills above Ross Valley, and to the schools and community life that make this corner of Marin so persistently attractive to families with deep roots and long intentions. 318 The Alameda was built in this context in 2017 — not renovated from an older structure but conceived and constructed as a new home — by Builder Girl, a woman-owned design-build firm whose attention to detail shows up in every material and configuration decision.
The farmhouse aesthetic is genuine rather than decorative: the open floor plan downstairs connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen in the flowing arrangement that authentic farm-style architecture prioritizes, with a half bath on the ground level for practical hosting. Walnut floors run throughout. Radiant heat — the most comfortable and efficient heating system available — is standard. A gas fireplace anchors the living room without being its only statement.
Upstairs, the primary suite delivers what the farmhouse format at its best can offer: soaring ceilings, a spacious custom closet, a spa-like bathroom with thoughtful detail, rustic accents that honor the building's character, and — the move that makes the room — a private ensuite office nook whose barn-style windows open to birdsong and the rustle of leaves. This is a home office arrangement that the most architecturally ambitious city apartments cannot replicate.
Closed at $1,520,000 — $1,145 per square foot. A 2017 San Anselmo new construction on The Alameda, conceived with intention throughout.
