A Modern Retreat with Scale, Light, and Untapped Potential
Set into the hillside with open outlooks and layered outdoor space, 169 Rose Avenue offers rare scale and flexibility in Mill Valley. Spanning over 3,600 square feet with four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, the home balances volume with privacy and ease. Tucked among redwoods and wrapped in quiet, it captures what people move here for. Light, nature, and a sense of retreat.
The main living spaces open beneath high atrium ceilings, with walls of glass bringing in natural light and views of redwoods and into town. Radiant-heated hardwood floors run throughout. Decks span the top two levels, extending the living spaces outdoors and offering room for dining, lounging, and entertaining. The kitchen is one of this home’s most compelling spaces. Two large islands create distinct zones for prep, seating, and serving, anchored by custom wood cabinetry, stone countertops, a fully paneled oversized refrigerator and dishwasher, and a La Cornue range. It connects easily to the dining and living room with a gas fireplace, moving effortlessly between everyday breakfasts and evenings with friends.
The bedroom level is calm and generous. Bedrooms are spacious, with high ceilings and solid wood doors, and each connects directly to the outdoor balconies that wrap the house, bringing fresh air and light into the everyday. Laundry is conveniently located on this level, with thoughtful storage throughout. The property also includes a fully legal one-bedroom, one-bath ADU with its own living room, kitchenette, walk-in closet, and full bathroom with laundry, ideal for an au pair, guests, extended family, or income potential. A two-car garage, ample storage, and an elevator providing access between levels complete the home. Outside, multiple outdoor zones extend from the upper levels, offering space to refine, plant, and activate over time.
Located within walking distance of the Mill Valley trail system, 169 Rose Avenue is an architecture-forward residence with purposeful spaces, quality bones, and room to make it unmistakably yours.
