Outdoor Living at 36 Elm Ave.

36 Elm Ave. is ideal for enjoying Larkspur weather, known to be the best in Marin County–neither too hot nor cold, rarely foggy, and sheltered from afternoon winds.  The 7,500 sq. ft. lot has two garden areas. The front yard, elevated above the street, has two charming patios sheltered by a lacy birch tree and a towering palm. Mature landscaping includes wisteria, bird of paradise, and dry creek bed. The lower-level living area opens to the patios.

The large back yard provides a variety of seating areas starting at the back of the house with a redwood deck and cedar hot tub. The yard ascends about 20 feet along curving paths, through mature plantings, raised beds, and a variety of fruit trees–with level patios along the way. The patio at the top of the garden has a view of Mount Tamalpais through the tops of palm trees.
