About This Home
As of September 2024This light filled single-story 2 bedroom, 2 bath sanctuary was substantially rebuilt in 2020 with an inspired design by acclaimed architect Andrew Fischer. Imbued with a mid-century modern aesthetic, magazine worthy finishes and a Mt. Tam view, 8 Birch is located in one of Mill Valley's most desirable enclaves with one of the best microclimates and connects to the vibrant downtown by Steps, Lanes & Paths. A private, gated entry leads into the stunning "Great Room" with vaulted ceilings and wide plank oak floors. An excellent indoor/outdoor connection through a large Fleetwood door flows seamlessly to the spacious Ipe deck, enchanting level garden and grassy yard...wonderful for relaxing or entertaining. The romantic primary bedroom suite has a view of Mt Tam with a French door that opens to a private deck and gardens. There is an attached garage with washer, dryer, utility sink and storage. The property enjoys easy access, plenty of parking, an excellent commute location and is close to some of the best hiking and biking. 8 Birch Street is a rare offering and embodies all that is wonderful about Mill Valley.
