About this home

Magnolia House is an iconic estate in San Rafael's coveted Dominican neighborhood. The captivating and expansive Georgian home offers a rare blend of timeless elegance and incredible potential, nestled on over 1.3 level acres of beautiful heritage grounds. The historic facade with its elegant entrance is enhanced by its beautiful detailing and setting. The original home of approximately 3,000 square feet was built in 1918 as a wedding gift. An addition was added in about 1930. It remained a single-family residence until 2007 when Dominican University purchased the property as their admissions building. The interior offers a glimpse of the refined era in the living, dining and family (presently boardroom) rooms. The home has thirteen bedroom that are now being used as offices and storage. There is also a Carriage House, currently the center for human resources with seven offices. It could be converted back to garages or endless possibilities. This is a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to create a grand estate or for an organization to envision a program that would be a compliment to the university.
