A Quiet Quarter Acre on One of Mill Valley's Calmest Streets
181 Magee Avenue sits on a lot of more than a quarter acre, about 12,350 square feet, on a very quiet street in Mill Valley. Built in 1946 and part of the original Tamalpais Land and Water Company tracts that shaped early Mill Valley, it is a three-bedroom, two-bath home of about 2,118 square feet.
Homes of this era in Mill Valley were built with a sense of proportion and a connection to their surroundings, and a wood-burning fireplace remains the heart of the living space here. Central heating keeps the house comfortable through cool, foggy mornings, and the floor area offers generous room for three bedrooms and two baths, with plenty of space to live in now and to shape over time.
The lot is the standout. More than a quarter acre is a rare amount of ground in Mill Valley, with room for gardens, outdoor dining and lounging, and the kind of privacy that comes from space between neighbors. A one-car garage adds parking and storage.
Mill Valley living is all around it. Downtown, with the Depot, Lytton Square and the cafes and shops along Throckmorton Avenue, is a short drive, and the redwoods of Old Mill Park and the stairways and fire roads leading up toward Mt. Tam are close by. The Dipsea, Muir Woods and the Richardson Bay path are within easy reach, and Highway 101 makes San Francisco an easy trip. A quiet street, a generous lot and a classic Mill Valley setting make this one worth noting.
