A four-bedroom midcentury home in Marin County’s sought-after Laurel Grove neighborhood, has come to market for the first time since it was built 60 years ago. The house at 20 Hanken Drive in Kentfield, CA., was completed in 1966, and is listed for $3,295,00. The sellers purchased the property shortly thereafter and never left.How the parcel came to exist at all is a smaller mystery.
