16 Sunny Drive, San Anselmo, CA

Reminiscent of Carmel-by-the-Sea, 16 Sunny Drive is a enchanting storybook retreat tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the coveted Sequoia Park neighborhood. Rich in European architectural detail, lush gardens, and timeless sophistication, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence with detached studio blends old-world craftsmanship with romantic ambiance and modern-day comfort. From the moment you enter the front door, the home's distinct character is evident. Handmade doors, custom wood frame windows, terracotta tiles, and artisan ironwork reflect a refined European charm inside. Vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, and rich wood tones create a harmonious, light-filled atmosphere. Outside, the beautifully designed grounds offer a sense of peace and seclusion. Meandering paths wind through lush plantings, mature trees, a fountain and serene ponds with cascading waterfalls creating a magical sense of retreat. Multiple bluestone patios and a front deck serve as inviting outdoor rooms, seamlessly extending the home's living space. An outdoor fireplace and pizza oven set the stage for al fresco dining and entertaining under the stars. Additional highlights include a detached studio with full bath, sound-proof music room, large basement and three-car garage. Minutes to downtown San Anselmo.

Home is sacred—whether it is the physical home, the emotional home, or the spiritual home.


Having immigrated to the heart of the world’s innovation hub, Silicon Valley, from one of the less developed cities in China, my personal journey has been a continuous process of finding home within myself, over and over again. This experience has anchored my heart and given me the privilege of being my clients' trusted advisor, walking alongside them as they navigate their own paths. With an unwavering commitment to understanding who my clients are and what truly matters to them, I approach every relationship with sincerity and respect. I believe that trust begins with truly listening and embracing each client’s unique situation, ensuring confidentiality and personalized care every step of the way.


Drawing on my extensive experience in finance management and cross-cultural counseling psychology, I employ a hands-on, nuanced approach. I meticulously address all financial and personal considerations in any buying or selling plan. My passion for advocacy and negotiation consistently creates “win-win” outcomes throughout my 10-year real estate career, leaving all parties involved not only satisfied but truly exhilarated by their decisions. This positive energy carries forward into their daily lives, enriching their futures.


In addition to my real estate practice, I am the Executive Director of China Silicon Valley, a nonprofit organization that fosters collaboration between Silicon Valley and China. Through this role, we regularly host and organize delegations of business leaders and government officials, creating unparalleled opportunities for my clients. Furthermore, my affiliation with Sotheby’s International Realty’s global network, spanning 84 countries, brings increased visibility and economic opportunities to those I serve. Meanwhile, I am the founder of MagicMoment.Life, a passion project dedicated to capturing “plain” yet profound moments that touch our hearts, shaping a community of people who are truly close to our hearts and embrace authenticity.


I believe in long-term relationships. Most of my clients not only develop a strong bond with me as they are treated like family, but they also regularly refer me to their family and friends.


Let’s 'walk each other home.”
