In 1966, a Marin County home was completed and its buyers never left; 60 years later, after one final renovation, it is on the market for the first time at $3.295 million

A four-bedroom Kentfield house has stayed with the same owners for nearly six decades. After a major refresh, the midcentury property is finally looking for a new chapter. A Marin County home that has remained with the same owners for nearly 60 years is finally on the market, and it has undergone a substantial makeover before its debut. According to Realtor.com, the four-bedroom property at 20 Hanken Drive in Kentfield was completed in 1966 and is now listed for $3.295 million. Current MLS records confirm the home was built in 1966, spans 2,784 square feet and sits on a roughly 9,600-square-foot lot. The listing describes it as being offered for the first time since it was built, making its arrival notable in a market where homes in Kentfield’s sought-after flat, established neighborhoods are rarely available in this combination of size and setting.

A 1960s home with a surprisingly rare asset

The house sits in Laurel Grove on about 0.22 acres of gated, level land. Mature trees, landscaped gardens, lawns and patios surround the shingle-style exterior. That level ground is part of the property’s appeal. The home combines the privacy and greenery associated with Marin County with a layout designed for easy indoor-outdoor living.There is also a curious piece of history attached to the parcel. The property sits beside a much older home, and the original account of the listing suggests the land may have been carved out of a parcel associated with that neighboring property. That detail, however, remains an explanation from the listing agent rather than an independently established fact in the available public records.

The renovation came just before the sale

Although the house retains its midcentury character, the interiors have been extensively refreshed for its first listing. The kitchen has been remodeled with new appliances and quartzite countertops, while bathrooms have been updated. New wide-plank oak flooring and contemporary lighting were also added throughout the home.The 2,784-square-foot layout includes a living room with a fireplace and a formal dining area that lead into the remodeled kitchen. The kitchen connects to a family room, with both spaces opening toward the backyard. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are grouped together, including the primary suite, a feature the listing emphasizes as an unusual advantage of the floor plan. A two-car garage and additional storage complete the practical side of the property.

There is another unusual perk for the buyer

The house also sits directly across from the Priory Tennis & Swim Club. According to the listing, the current owner has a charter membership that will transfer with the sale, allowing the new owner to bypass the club’s waitlist. The property’s location also puts residents close to Kentfield schools, local shops, restaurants and parks.For a house completed in 1966, however, its biggest selling point may be less about what has changed than what has remained: the established trees, generous outdoor space and carefully preserved sense of privacy. After nearly six decades with one set of owners, 20 Hanken Drive is now being offered at $3.295 million, giving a new buyer the rare opportunity to become only its next chapter, rather than simply another owner in a long line of them.
