Larkspur mixes century-old homes near Magnolia Avenue with redwood-shaded Baltimore Canyon and the creekside homes of the Boardwalk.
Baltimore Canyon is one of Marin's dampest, shadiest neighborhoods, and its homes are often wood-frame with crawlspaces that don't dry out between storms. The Boardwalk homes over the tidal creek deal with constant humidity from below. In older homes downtown, mold often turns up behind old plaster or paneling after a leak.
Moisture sources to check: crawlspace framing, bathroom ceilings, and storage areas against the hillside.
