When Harry Wainwright purchased this land in the 1891 auction he selected one of the most iconic parcels that Mill Valley had to offer. Blessed with stately Redwood groves, sun and in close proximity to the town`s center this is Mill Valley at it`s best. Two porches, three patios and a lovely sunny level lawn call out to be explored and enjoyed. Over the years, from the Wainwright family until today, the stewards of this home have been inspired. One of the owners, Pete Sears, was a member of Jefferson Starship when he built a tree house in one of the Redwood trees for his young son. When asked about this home he said "We should never have sold that home. It holds a lot of special memories for us." A home so rich in history is asking the question what will the future hold? The answer is time will tell, it always does. One thing for certain whoever buys this home is purchasing a Mill Valley dream that lives on today as strongly as when the home was built.
