"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever."
- Jacques Yves Cousteau -
"On these sands and in the clefts of the rocks, in the depths of the sea, in the creaking of the pines, you’ll spy secret footprints and catch far-off voices from the homecoming celebration."
- Homer -
“A homecoming celebration” is an apt description of the comfort and joy evoked by the serene seaside cottage at 2517 Mar East, in Tiburon, California. On a secluded and peaceful unpaved cul-de-sac along the San Francisco Bay, it is a place where the sound of the seabirds and lapping waves replaces the hum of modern life; a place where the cool sea breeze caresses your soul, and where, in such moments, time seems to stand still.
For the property’s current owners, the majestic views, the sublime tranquility, and the private setting, have made the warm and inviting home a sanctuary of contentment; a place where gratitude, grace, and the ebb and flow of life can be put into focus, and appreciated.
Though the home is just one mile from Tiburon’s Village Square, it feels as though it’s a million miles away from city living. The serene water views of Keil Cove, Raccoon Strait, Angel Island, and the San Francisco Bay are not dominated by man-made objects, but rather, by the natural world. In the immediate proximity of trail heads, secluded beaches, bike paths, and sailing facilities, 2517 Mar East is a nature lover’s Paradise.
Yet when city life beckons, there is no more romantic commute than that of the Tiburon Ferry to the San Francisco Financial District via the Embarcadero Terminal.
From the award winning public and private schools; to the free services provided by the newly expanded public library; to the outdoor community gatherings on Main Street; to the renowned Classic Car Show for Charity; to the well organized and exceedingly popular children’s sports leagues; to the vibrant and welcoming houses of worship; the Civic Pride of Tiburon residents is everywhere present.
Dedicated Foodies will delight in the quality and quantity of Tiburon’s acclaimed restaurants, many of which boast world class views of the City and the Golden Gate Bridge.
