1405 San Anselmo Avenue San Anselmo, CA 94960

Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in this iconic San Anselmo property. The Church is an architecturally sensitive residential conversion of one of Marin's most storied recording studios. Before its deconsecration and musical chapter, the building originally comprised two Presbyterian churches with 22-foot ceilings. In the mid-20th century, the congregation outgrew the original sanctuary and constructed a second building next door. What began as a place of worship later evolved into a sought-after recording studio in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, hosting renowned artists such as Van Morrison, Boz Scaggs, Jefferson Starship, and Huey Lewis, among many others. Meticulously renovated, this home blends industrial-chic style with modern flair to create a truly one-of-a-kind living experience. Upon entry, you're welcomed into an inspiring great room featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed steel beams, and stained concrete floors. Renowned for its exceptional acoustics, this space once served as the setting for many live musical performances. The downstairs bedroom once housed The Beatles' instrument storage ahead of their final San Francisco performance. Today, it serves as a charming bedroom featuring an updated bathroom and generous closet space. Ascending the steel-reinforced, glass-encased staircase, you're immersed in natural light as you arrive at an expansive open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area. This stunning space showcases vaulted, exposed-beam ceilings, rich hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, custom cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and wall-to-wall sliding glass doors that open to a beautiful patio, perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The upper level includes two bedrooms, highlighted by the primary suite, which features vaulted ceilings, a beautifully updated en suite bathroom, and a versatile nook ideal for reading or a private office. Elegant glass doors provide light and direct access to the patio. The loft bedroom offers a flexible layout, ideal as a guest bedroom or study, and includes its own remodeled en suite bathroom with ample built-in storage. An additional structure on the property, rich with its own history, is The Rectory, a charming cottage set in a magical setting, offering two bedrooms and one bath. It also holds a unique place in cycling lore as an early hub in the birth of the mountain bike, when Gary Fisher and Charlie Kelly lived there while working as roadies for bands recording at the studio.
