Tucked on a tranquil, tree-lined lot above sought-after Picnic Valley, this 1924 vintage treasure has been cherished by only three owners in over 100 years. Each generation has loved it, tended it, and added to its story — preserving its character while making it their own. Today, it stands ready for its next steward, a vintage soul who values authenticity, community, and connection to nature.Set on two fully fenced and gated parcels on a 16,200 square foot lot (over 1/3 of an acre), the home offers 2,198 square feet of charming living space with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dedicated office space plus a 1,056 square feet partially finished basement for hobbies or storage. Also included, tucked at the edge of the property lies a piece of living history — the old blacksmith shop, still standing after a century. Once a hub of craft and conversation, it now waits for its next chapter, offering endless potential as a garage space or converted to an ADU, or simply a charming reminder of San Rafael’s early days.Original period details and a welcoming brick porch frame the formal living room with fireplace and window seat overlooking the front garden. The kitchen and dining room open to a large entertaining rear deck—perfect for gatherings and peaceful evenings beneath the trees. With a flexible floor plan, updated systems including a new 200 amp service, and ample parking including a four-car parking deck, this well-loved home embraces its past while offering comfort for today.A magical yard that invites exploration, imagination, and endless play. With beautiful mature trees to climb, a seasonal creek to explore, and open space to roam, this is a yard made for adventure. With trees to dapple the sunshine, spacious, and full of character it’s a setting where kids and grownups alike can let their imaginations run free. Surrounded by a warm, close-knit community known for its block parties and neighborly spirit, 150 Bungalow Avenue is a rare, heart-filled retreat just minutes from downtown San Rafael.
