Exquisite and storied, this magazine-worthy 1929 Tudor home was designed by San Francisco architect Wm. Winner as an exact replica of the honeymoon home that captured the hearts of original owners the D.F. Hanlons. Privately set in the flats of San Rafael's coveted Forbes neighborhood, the home sits close to Marin Academy, downtown San Anselmo & San Rafael, and miles of hiking & biking trails, with easy access to SF.
