A Garden Estate in the Flats, Blocks from Old Mill Park
At the start of Mill Valley's original estate area, in the flats a few blocks from Old Mill Park, 2 Summit Avenue sits behind a gated drive on nearly a quarter acre. Built in 2002 and renovated since, with a design inspired by the grand houses of Presidio Heights, it is a seven-bedroom, five-bath residence of 6,025 square feet across three stories, including an attached legal ADU.
The great room is the center of the house, scaled for large gatherings and opening directly to the gardens. Open-beam ceilings and skylights bring in light, radiant heat runs under the floors, and three fireplaces anchor the living spaces. The kitchen has a built-in gas range, double oven, built-in refrigerator and wine refrigerator, with quartz and slab counters, a skylight and a breakfast area that flows into a casual living room. Upper and lower lounges and a dedicated yoga and pilates studio add room to spread out. The primary suite has a balcony, a sitting area and a walk-in closet, with a marble bath that includes a soaking tub, a steam shower and radiant heat.
Outside, mature Napa-inspired gardens surround a level lawn framed by palms. An outdoor kitchen with a built-in BBQ, a patio and a spa make the garden an everyday extension of the house. The attached ADU suits guests, longer stays or a quiet home office, and practical upgrades include solar, a backup generator, and a two-car garage with EV charging.
Old Mill Park's redwoods and the Dipsea stairs are a few blocks away, and the stroll into downtown follows Throckmorton Avenue to Lytton Square, the Depot and the plaza's cafes and bookstore. Mill Valley Market, Sweetwater Music Hall and the Throckmorton Theatre are all close, and the trails of Mt. Tam are a short walk uphill.
