The home is easy to enter. From the street walk up a straight front walk. Inside the home is on one level, with seating in various places - living room, dining room, solarium with Baby Grand piano central surrounded by gorgeous views of the Bay from Tiburon.
If you have disabilities, have someone drop you off at the front walk and then park the car. Plenty of street parking. The home is at the top of a very slight hill where the road becomes level, in front of the house.
