About This Home
As of July 2025In the very heart of the classic Throckmorton neighborhood, sits a charming one bedroom, one bathroom cottage with a detached one bedroom, one bathroom unit. The variety of uses is endless and the location could not be better. Originally built in 1942, the primary cottage enjoys an updated kitchen, eat-in area and generous living room with fireplace. The bedroom opens through French doors to an expanded private backyard deck and living area. The bathroom has a shower over tub configuration. Below the cottage and through sliding wooden doors is the original garage with ample storage and room to expand. The separate unit has too many uses to list whether enjoyed as an in-home office, guest suite or caretaker's cottage. Set back off the street and within an easy stroll to the Mill Valley Library, school and downtown Mill Valley, this opportunity seldom presents itself and is limited only to the next owner's imagination.
