2 Woodland Place, Kentfield
Conceived by architect Jared Polsky in 1996, the estate wears its old-world French soul with a confident, modern hand. Three acres along a private drive, the last tract built in Kent Woodlands.
A private world of rose arches, fruit trees, wandering paths, and old marble statuary that carries the feeling of a place long and lovingly tended.
Conceived by architect Jared Polsky and set on more than three private acres along a private drive, this French-inspired estate represents a rare final chapter in Kent Woodlands, the last tract to be built in one of Marin County's most sought-after communities.
A double-height foyer sets the tone at once. From here the house reveals itself graciously: a handsome library, a formal living room whose French doors dissolve into the grand balustraded terrace, and a formal dining room equally graced with French doors and a butler's pantry beyond. The heart of the home is a sun-drenched kitchen of generous proportion, appointed with a full pantry and a breakfast room whose French doors open to the entertaining terrace.
Upstairs, a sitting room frames Bay views to the east while three grand bedrooms each claim their own terrace, the Bay glittering on one horizon, the noble silhouette of Mount Tamalpais on the other.
Steps from the front door, Marin's finest hiking and biking trails begin. Yet Woodlands Market, exceptional dining, and Kentfield's award-winning schools are just minutes away. Seclusion and connection, held in perfect balance.
Architect Jared Polsky shaped the estate in 1996 as a French country meditation: handsome library, double-height foyer, formal rooms whose French doors dissolve into balustraded terraces. Old-world soul, modern hand.
The last tract built in Kent Woodlands, set along a private drive. Generous flat gardens give way to paths winding up to a secret retreat above. Rose arches, fruit trees, marble statuary throughout.
Three grand upstairs bedrooms each open to a private terrace. The Bay glitters on one horizon. Mount Tamalpais holds the other. The sitting room frames the eastern view.
French doors throughout. Living, dining, breakfast, primary suite. Every formal room dissolves into a terrace, a balcony, or the garden. The patio holds a built-in barbecue for effortless summer entertaining.
Marin's finest hiking and biking trails start at the front door. Woodlands Market, the dining of Larkspur and Mill Valley, and Kentfield's award-winning schools are minutes off. Seclusion and connection, held in balance.
A starting point, not a quote. Your lender will run the real numbers. The values below are yours to move; the figure on the right responds in kind.
Kent Woodlands is one of the few unincorporated pockets of Marin where redwoods, oaks, and a cul-de-sac calm replace the usual suburban grid. Mount Tamalpais frames the western view; the Bay frames the eastern one.
Steps from the front door: Phoenix Lake, the Tamalpais trailheads, Ross Common. Minutes off: Woodlands Market, the Lark Theater, downtown Larkspur, Mill Valley, and Kentfield's award-winning schools.
Photographs do their work. The garden, the terraces, the upstairs horizons want to be walked. Leave a note below and we will arrange a quiet showing.
