Property Narrative • Architectural Remarks
398 Ocean Parkway is a private 1937 coastal cottage set on approximately 0.41 acres of extraordinary, thoughtfully designed gardens, just a short distance from Agate Beach and Duxbury Reef. The charming two-bedroom, one-bath home retains its classic Bolinas character while benefiting from an extensive program of recent improvements, reflecting the seller's considerable investment in the property since purchase. Updates include a new roof, tankless water heater, appliances, washer and dryer, refreshed kitchen finishes, exterior paint, and other system and ventilation upgrades. The exceptional landscape, designed by acclaimed landscape designer Denler Hobart Gardens, is a true highlight. Mature trees and established plantings create privacy and seclusion, while flowering perennials, California native grasses, sculptural plantings and graceful garden paths unfold throughout the property. A distinctive wooden walkway leads from the gated parking area through the garden to the front door, creating a memorable arrival. Outdoor living includes a private shower, fire-pit area and tranquil spaces for gathering, entertaining or simply enjoying the garden. Off-street parking and a detached shed provide convenient storage for bikes, surfboards and beach gear. Downstairs, finished additional space with its own entrance offers flexibility as a studio, creative space, kids' retreat or guest overflow. From the property's highest point, ocean views provide a beautiful connection to the surrounding coastline. A rare coastal retreat where extraordinary gardens, privacy, extensive improvements and authentic Bolinas character come together in one of the area's most peaceful settings, moments from the beach and within easy reach of Stinson Beach and Point Reyes. Come for the house - Stay for the garden!
