    Rare opportunity to live in this ultra-charming, one-level, quintessential Mill Valley home in a magical, sunny, private, mostly flat half-acre lush garden setting. Originally three bedrooms, but presently configured for two bedrooms plus an office, this jewel has been meticulously updated and cared-for by the same owner for the past 46 years. At the center of the home, the living room exudes warmth, featuring an open-beam cathedral ceiling, a stone wood-burning fireplace & bucolic views of the yard & Blithedale Ridge. It adjoins the formal dining room w/multiple French doors opening to the front trellised patio & magnificently verdant grounds, and a rear Ipe deck w/custom wrought-iron railings & a built-in barbeque. Chef's kitchen w/ custom cabinetry, Viking appliances, stunning glass-embedded countertops & an intimate breakfast area. Family/media room w/built-in cabinetry. The primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat w/a generous walk-in closet, garden windows & sumptuous bath. Among the many additional features are a formal entry w/a custom-sculpted redwood door, hardwood floors, a separate mud-room'' entrance, a workshop, plenty of storage & a detached 2-car garage. Close to MV's Steps, Lanes & Paths to the Dipsea Trail, Old Mill Park & downtown Mill Valley's finest amenities.
