Just blocks from the vibrant town of Fairfax, this story book cottage feels like it leapt from the pages of a novel. A pair of redwood tree sentries greet you at the gate, as you step into a magical garden bursting with color, fragrant blooms and a deep granite bird bath. Inside, the bright open living space with its banks of oversized windows, is filled with natural light-making it perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen, with comfortable island and large skylights, acts as a central hub of daily life, celebration and togetherness. Life simply happens here. Reminiscent of a true sanctuary, the primary ensuite bedroom boasts soaring ceilings and an open, airy atmosphere. A stunning stained glass window is a focal point of the room, casting soft colorful light across the space. Step outside onto the expansive back deck and be met with lush greenery, meandering paths and pure garden enchantment. Just beyond the floral arch, discover the detached building the owners so lovingly call the Taj,''a space so versatile it can be used as a true workshop, home office, yoga studio or loft for sleepovers. In a neighborhood where everybody knows your name, this is a place where time slows a bit, imagination grows and there is always a touch of everyday magic.
