Sleepy Hollow Flats Home for SaleRemember our listing on 710 Butterfield Road in San Anselmo?  We first listed this property at the beginning of summer.  We got a buyer right away and it was off the market before you could blink.  It turns out that buyer wasn't the right homeowner for this property. 710 Butterfield Road in now back on the market after falling out of escrow (at no fault to the property).  You now have another chance to see what this beautiful home has to offer!
