Greenwood Beach Road: Our Favorite Marin Street
A Hidden Gem in Tiburon
Greenwood Beach Road sweeps along the a bluff at the top of Richardson Bay and affords spectacular views southward of the Bay, the San Francisco skyline, Belvedere Island, the Tiburon hills, Strawberry Point, and the Sausalito hills. There is no other place like this in Tiburon or in the Bay area. It may be our favorite street in Marin County. Madeline Schaider Real Estate has been fortunate to sell to of the best properties on the street.
Location
Greenwood Beach Rd. is less than a mile long and has only 22 residences. The street starts at the beautiful Audubon Center and Wildlife Sanctuary with its warm yellow, Victorian Lyford House. Greenwood Beach Road ends at the Tiburon Bayside Trail and Blackie’s Pasture.
Before 1966, the street was part of Tiburon Blvd, the main thoroughfare to downtown Tiburon. With the construction of a new Tiburon Blvd to the north, Greenwood Beach Rd became an isolated and private enclave of homes on a dead-end street. A small hill to the north of Greenwood Beach Rd. separates the road from Tiburon Blvd and prevents visual and sound intrusion. Homes were built on this bluff starting in 1938. Many have been extensive rebuilt and remodeled, and a new home was built in 2005.
