This charming home covers what almost anyone would like to find in a Mill Valley home, lot and neighborhood.
THE SETTING: The front entry is guarded by a row of trees. A gated driveway opens onto to the adjacent expansive parking patio (room for basketball and more). The delicately-sloping near 1/3rd acre provides winding paths, mature gardens & trees and plenty of space for a vegetable garden. Two level pads are ideal for entertaining, recreation or just relaxing in a yard with due Southern Exposure that provides all day sun. Spend your day out and about, then relax at home with the birds, the sun and al fresco dining.
THE HOME: Built in 1910 with a later addition of a mostly glass-enclosed side-stairwell, this home has charm and character. You’ll enjoy refinished hardwood floors on the main floor including the bedroom and common area, a fireplace and a dining/family area that opens to a view deck. The kitchen, connected to the same deck, enjoys the serene views of the valley in the green hills. Main level bathroom has a pedestal sink and claw foot tub with shower. The professionally designed glass – enclosed stairwell leads to the downstairs bedroom wing. The primary has its own small deck, full bathroom with shower. The third bedroom has an adjacent room that can be nursery, and/or home office.
VIEWS: Resting on the rim of the valley, the views from the house and grounds are 180° and include trees, vegetation and the entire valley expanse bordered by green foothills.
GARAGE: Just a few steps from the side entry, the spacious garage provides enough room for two good-sized vehicles plus additional storage. An interesting note, the previous owner had rented the garage to one of the early fathers of mountain biking – Steve Potts created his early masterpieces here.
LOCATION: At the base of Mount Tam, yet close to charming downtown Mill Valley with its vintage landmarks (Mill Valley Depot, Throckmorton Theater), hip boutiques, and a range of great restaurants (Equator Coffee, Bungalow 44, La Playa and more) and entertainment. Not far from 101, the commute from Mill Valley to SF is one of the best you could ask for. Plus you have access to award winning schools, the SF Bay, the Northern California Coast, Sonoma/Napa wine country, great family parks (Sycamore Park, Old Mill Park and Boyle Park to name a few) and the access to many of the best Mount Tam hikes.
HOMESTEAD VALLEY: One of the prized MV neighborhoods – enjoy a variety of architecture, events (such as the local favorite Homestead Valley Music Festival) and the popular Homestead Valley Community Center and swimming pool.
AMBIENCE: The vast majority of the traffic takes a right-hand turn several houses before #105 and heads up the mountain. This is one of the most desirable spots because of its natural beauty, orientation and elbow room. You feel the peace and solitude from the house, rear decks and yard.
Rarely does a property come along with so many desirable key features. Move right in & enjoy or make it your dream.
