Who said Marin doesn’t play the overbid game like the city does? Somebody forgot to tell Kentfield.

20 Hanken Drive, tucked into the flats of the coveted Laurel Grove neighborhood, listed August 31st at $3,295,000. Ten days later it was pending. Twenty-one days after that, it closed at $4,500,000… that’s $1,205,000 over ask, a 36.6% pop, and a jump from $1,184/sqft asking to $1,616/sqft at the close. Twenty-one days, start to finish. Not bad. Not bad at all.

And honestly? We get it. This was the home’s first time on the market since it was built — level, gated grounds, mature trees, new wide-plank oak floors, a remodeled kitchen with quartzite counters, four bedrooms tucked together upstairs including a generous primary suite. Add a two-car garage on a 9,600 sq ft lot, and you’re sitting directly across from the Priory Tennis & Swim Club, charter membership included (translation: the new owners just skipped a waitlist most people don’t even know exists… Kentfield problems). Toss in Woodlands Market and some of Marin’s best schools within an easy, level walk, and yeah — buyers found their reason to stretch.

This is what happens when a genuinely rare listing meets a market that’s still starving for inventory. Marin buyers aren’t just showing up anymore, they’re showing up with checkbooks wide open.
