    What's special

    Thriving veggie gardenLarge fully fenced yardAbundant natural lightUpdated kitchen and bathsNew cobblestone paver drivewayEffortless indoor-outdoor flowExpansive new redwood deck
    Set in the coveted flats of Homestead Valley, 597 Ethel is the kind of Mill Valley cottage that feels straight out of a design magazine charming, sun-drenched, and completely dialed for modern life. This beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends classic character with thoughtful upgrades and effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Inside, new hardwood floors, multiple skylights, and abundant natural light create an easy, uplifting vibe throughout. The updated kitchen and baths feel fresh and current, while the layout offers flexibility for how you actually live today whether that's hosting friends, working from home, or carving out space to recharge. Need a home office? You've got a separate one. Peloton or yoga more your thing? There's a dedicated workout area, too. Outside is where this home really shines. The expansive new redwood deck was made for long dinners, weekend brunches, and evening wine with friends. The large, fully fenced yard offers privacy, room for pups to roam, and space to gather. There's even a thriving veggie garden ready for your farmers-market-inspired dinners. A new cobblestone paver driveway adds instant curb appeal. And because modern living matters: owned solar with backup battery keeps things efficient and resilient.
