Nature, Refinement, and Scenic Seclusion,Welcome to 454 Upper Road
At the very edge of China Camp State Park, nestled on the final residential street before the preserve begins, 454 Upper Road delivers the true Marin lifestyle: nature, serenity, and sophisticated design, just minutes from easy connections to San Francisco and beyond.
Set at the top of a secluded private road, this architecturally refined home offers commanding views to the north and south. From one side, gaze over rolling green hills; from the other, panoramic vistas of the San Pablo Bay, creek wetlands, and distant Sonoma ridgelines. The home sits on an expansive lot with an additional parcel across the road, included in the sale, ensuring long-term view preservation and added parking flexibility.
Step inside and you’ll feel an immediate sense of openness and calm. Light filters through large picture windows. Arched entryways and soaring ceilings create an uninterrupted visual flow from room to room. The main level offers expansive entertaining spaces, including a formal living room and dining room—flexible spaces that adapt beautifully to your lifestyle. Whether configured for traditional use, transformed into a gallery space, or used for live music gatherings with friends, these rooms are a canvas for expression.
The adjacent family room is open to the chef’s kitchen and breakfast area, with custom built-ins, beautiful views, and direct access to the back patio, perfect for relaxed everyday living or seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining.
Down a secret garden path, guided by integrated path lighting for evening strolls, down to the angular “treehouse” studio awaits, an inspiring space for music, meditation, workouts, or writing, with some of the property’s most spectacular views.
Upstairs, find two spacious bedrooms and a grand primary suite with dual-view balconies. The suite features a spacious, well-appointed bath with dual sinks and a soaking tub perfectly positioned beneath a large picture window that frames serene hillside views. The lower level reveals a fully independent junior suite with new wood flooring, private entrance, wet bar, and Lori bed for guests or multigenerational living.
Additional features include a central vacuum system, drought-tolerant native landscaping, and an integrated brick path illuminated for evening strolls to the studio.
Beyond the property, enjoy everything this coveted Santa Venetia enclave offers: hiking and biking in China Camp, local favorites like Le Chalet Basque and Andy’s Market, and Sunday mornings at the Marin Civic Center farmers market. Convenient to San Francisco, Sonoma, and the East Bay via ferry, freeway, or the SMART train, 454 Upper Road is your peaceful retreat at the center of it all.
