December can bring off market opportunities for homes that are being readied for a spring debut. My clients are in the process of clearing out and painting this gorgeous contemporary with open floor plan, bamboo flooring, and vaulted ceilings and will sell it now. Wonderful indoor-outdoor flow allows enjoyment of the wooded view from the deck or yard area.  217 Picnic Avenue in San Rafael is perfect for those who want to be close to everything, and have privacy too.  3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 1928 square feet. En suite master. Attached one car garage. Walk to Panama Hotel, Muffin Mania and downtown San Rafael. Price TBD but somewhere between $1 million and 1.075
