Seller Letter - "Dreamy Days on Dominga"

Welcome to 127 Dominga. We have called this treasured place home for nearly 14 years, and I have truly never loved a house or a neighborhood more. The house itself has been extensively renovated and we just adore it. It’s a jewel of Dominga. And Dominga, our most favorite street in Fairfax, walking distance to just about everything – restaurants, coffee shops, the best organic ice cream you’ll find anywhere at Scoop, parks, trails, a gym, yoga studio, brew-pubs, live music, an açai bowl shop. This town is the coolest in Marin County, and Dominga, on the flats and a short walk to absolutely everything, has it all.

We moved into this special home when my daughter was just one year old, and here she grew up hiking (and later riding!) the trails from Deer Park up the Majestic Mt. Tam; playing in the park and now walking with her big group of local friends to get ice cream or slice of pizza downtown. Fairfax is all at once family-friendly, fun, and artistic (look up Halloween on Dominga and Fairfax Festival!), and deeply active and nature-loving — to us, there’s no better place to live and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we have.

Warmly, 

KT
