Newly Listed San Rafael Home Showcases the Vision of Architect Charles Warren Callister

Corcoran Icon Properties is proud to announce the listing of 12 Indian Road in San Rafael, a mid-century inspired redwood home designed by celebrated Bay Area architect Charles Warren Callister. Listed by Holly Welch of the Greenbrae office, this rare property is more than just a home; it’s a piece of architectural history.]

Perched on over an acre in the coveted Los Ranchitos neighborhood, this single-level home perfectly balances timeless design with thoughtful modern upgrades. The residence offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and 1,224 square feet of living space. Sunlight floods the interiors, which open onto a wraparound deck with sweeping hillside views. Seasonal creeks, a gated entry, and a vintage play structure create a serene, retreat-like setting.

The kitchen has been beautifully remodeled with Bosch and Miele appliances, and updates throughout include a new roof, upgraded electrical, tankless water heater, and newly installed A/C. Bonus space beneath the home offers future potential, making it move-in ready yet full of possibilities.

“Charles Callister had an incredible gift for designing homes that feel handcrafted and deeply connected to their surroundings,” said Holly Welch of Corcoran Icon Properties. “12 Indian Road gives buyers the rare chance to experience his vision firsthand, a home that’s warm, inviting, and full of character.”

Callister’s legacy includes iconic Bay Area projects such as the Duncan House in San Francisco and the Mill Valley Christian Science Church, celebrated for their natural materials, thoughtful use of light, and human-centered design. This San Rafael home embodies those same principles, blending wood, open spaces, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Nestled in Los Ranchitos, a neighborhood known for its privacy and one-acre parcels, the property offers a quiet, natural escape while staying close to the SMART train, an easy commute to San Francisco, and the popular Sunday Farmers Market, one of the largest in the state. The home is listed at $1,295,000.
