FAIRFAX, Calif., July 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Want to live in the home of a modern-day literary great? Now's your chance. The Fairfax, California home of novelist Anne Lamott has hit the market. Renowned for her disarming familiarity in tackling life's chaos, Lamott's non-fiction, largely autobiographical works made her a household name. Now her own home, located at 20 Hickory Road, is up for grabs, listed with Lori Saia Odisio of Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty.

"Anne wrote five books in this house of skylights, had four dogs over the years, helped raised her grandson here from three days old, and taught him and all of his friends to swim in the backyard. She told me it's been the loveliest, creative, cozy home she's ever lived in," says Odisio. "Now it is time for her to move on--but only six houses away."

Odisio, who was born and raised in Fairfax, was a natural choice to represent the property. "I know this community. 20 Hickory Road is truly a gem and one of its best; private, charming, updated and walking distance from downtown. This caliber property rarely comes to market and its celebrated owner's star-power only adds to its appeal."

Located in one of Fairfax's most coveted enclaves, the sun-filled, single-level home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple skylights, hardwood floors and a detached garage that could be used as an office, game room or pool house. Lamott, who did much of her writing at the residence, spent over a decade updating the home, including improving the sparkling solar-heated pool as well as the large open kitchen with breakfast room. Odisio has the author's abode listed at $1,199,000 with an open house July 16^th from 1-4 PM and by appointment.
