About This Home
This private mid-century-inspired residence captures the quiet magic of Mill Valley living, where sweeping city views unfold beyond walls of tall windows and a thoughtfully curated interior aesthetic creates a home that feels both grounded in nature and architecturally striking. A welcoming entry garden offers a serene arrival. Inside, the home's striking design is elevated by custom-designed shelving and thoughtful architectural details that bring warmth, rhythm, and visual depth throughout the living spaces. The chef's kitchen blends function with refinement, featuring premium appliances including a Miele oven, Viking microwave, Wolf four-burner cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The main level is enveloped in warmth, where richly layered wood tones and custom paneling create a grounded yet elevated atmosphere throughout the living spaces. Also on this level are two well-appointed bedrooms served by a thoughtfully designed shared bathroom featuring a sculptural custom sink - an architectural focal point that reflects the home's refined material palette and intentional design sensibility. From the main living level, an expansive upper deck extends the home's living space into the canyon. The views of the canyon and the city create a stunning setting. The transition from inside to out is seamless, the kind of flow that stops you the first time you step through the front door. The downstairs primary suite feels like a private retreat, opening to its own separate deck and complemented by a spa-like bathroom with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a walk-in closet with integrated laundry. A dedicated office space below the garage completes the home, quiet, flexible, and set apart from the main living areas. Set in the highly desirable Mill Valley neighborhood of Warner Canyon, surrounded by natural beauty and close to everyday conveniences, the property enjoys access to award-winning Mill Valley schools, nearby Boyle Park, vibrant downtown Mill Valley, and scenic hiking trails, offering a rare balance of privacy, connection, and lifestyle.
