About This Home

Set on over an acre of privacy and natural beauty, this rare Mill Valley retreat offers breathtaking, dead-on views of Mt. Tamalpais. Built by renowned local builder Ed Ferry, the property showcases his signature craftsmanship and timeless design. The main residence (apx.2196 sqft) features 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, plus a lower-level guest suite with its own full bath. The main level includes a dedicated office and a large laundry room with abundant storage. Expansive decks extend from both the primary suite and the living room, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The primary bedroom deck features an outdoor shower with a view of an idyllic place to refresh while overlooking Mt. Tam. A spacious detached ADU (apx.913 sqft) expands the living options with a full kitchen, laundry, bath, and a large deck ideal for guests, extended family, or a private retreat. True to Ed Ferry's legacy, both the main home and ADU feature clawfoot soaking tubs on their decks plumbed with hot water perfect for relaxing while taking in Marin's most iconic views. The grounds are equally enchanting, with blooming rose bushes, native California landscaping, and the peaceful presence of local wildlife. Minutes from downtown Mill Valley.
