155 Elm Avenue is a 1924 cottage on a deep 8,500 sq. ft. lot in the heart of Mill Valley. The neighborhood is the desirable and tree-lined Tamalpais Park. The peaceful location is minutes from downtown Mill Valley and from Whole Foods and Joe's Taco Lounge on Miller. Sought-after Park Elementary School is just up the street. The Boyle Park tennis courts, playground and fields are nearby. This home has been in the same family for decades. Now it's ready for new owners who will appreciate its potential. It is a gardener's paradise in both front and back. Fruit trees dot the back yard, and its enormous greenhouse once teemed with orchids. The majority of the home is traditional, with original trim and hardwood floors in two bedrooms and in the generous living and dining rooms. A family room, third bedroom, and second bathroom were added to the rear of the cottage in the 60s. Between 2015 and 2019 the plumbing pipes, the furnace and ductwork, and the sewer lateral were replaced. Though the house needs updating to bring back its original charm, it has tons of potential to become a lovely home in a great location. Or, for those wanting to build their dream home, this virtually level lot is zoned for a house up to 2,850 square feet* *Potential buyers should check with MV Planning.
