East-Coast Charm with Mount Tamalpais Views
Behind a gated entry, a cedar-shingled house with black shutters and twin dormers sits easily in its garden, with Mount Tam framing the horizon. Paver paths wind past soft grasses and lavender to a sunny lawn and raised beds full of the season's vegetables. The terrace has room for a long table and lounge chairs, all facing the mountain, and summer dinners here tend to run late.
Inside, paneled white walls, beamed ceilings, and warm hardwood floors set a quiet, collected tone. The living room gathers around a brick fireplace, with French doors to the terrace and an open staircase of floating wood treads. A banquette nook sits beneath a wide paned window at the far end.
Just off the living room, the turret room is the heart of the house. Windows wrap nearly every side, the vaulted wood ceiling fans out overhead, and a Dutch door opens to the garden. It's the spot for morning coffee with a good book.
The kitchen has its own vaulted wood ceiling, marble counters, a Bosch gas range, brass fixtures, and a window framing Mt. Tam. The primary and guest bedrooms are on the main level, and upstairs, a bonus room and third bedroom are tucked under the eaves.
Three bedrooms, two baths, and a garden in full swing, minutes from downtown Mill Valley.

Living the Mill Valley Lifestyle
There is something particular about life in Mill Valley, with redwoods at the end of the street, Mount Tam over every rooftop, and downtown just a few minutes away. Mornings start with coffee at Equator Coffees at Proof Lab, or a climb up the Dipsea Steps before the fog burns off. Weekends mean a wander through Old Mill Park, browsing the shops at the Mill Valley Lumberyard, and an easy afternoon in Tam Junction, with fish tacos at Hook Fish Co. or sourdough pizza and a pint in the beer garden at The Junction. Just across the way, Good Earth Natural Foods handles the weekly grocery run, with organic produce and a deli for packing a lunch before a hike. Muir Woods and Stinson Beach are a short drive over the mountain, and Highway 101 is minutes away, with the Golden Gate Bridge not far behind.
