Downtown location beneath Mill Valley's towering redwoods, this updated brown shingle retreat feels like the kind of place you escape to for the weekend , yet it's just a short walk to town. Sunlight filters through the trees and pours into the home's soaring spaces, where high ceilings, oversized windows, refinished hardwood floors, and two fireplaces create an atmosphere that's both elevated and effortlessly comfortable. The remodeled kitchen and baths bring a fresh, modern feel while still honoring the home's original character. Thoughtful upgrades throughout including a new roof, new electrical, new exterior lighting, and sewer lateral compliance , mean the heavy lifting has already been done. A sunroom off the primary suite offers the perfect work-from-home hideaway or morning reset space, while the classic front porch invites slow coffee mornings and evening wine under the trees. Above the oversized two-car garage, the detached cottage/studio with full bath adds incredible flexibility as a guest suite, creative studio, home office, gym, or au pair space. Private, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature, this is Mill Valley living at its best , stylish, soulful, and designed for the way people want to live today.
