Welcome to 355 County View Drive, a beautiful Marinview home perfect for the buyer with discerning taste. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath house has an open floor plan and vaulted ceilings, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor vibe with sweeping views of the rolling Marin Headlands and Tennessee Valley hills from almost every room. Tastefully and extensively renovated, the home has Anderson windows and newly refinished hickory hardwood floors throughout the top and middle levels, and marble in all bathrooms. The fully remodeled kitchen boasts an impressive four-person dining peninsula with quartzite countertops that extend through a passthrough "cafe" pocket window to the back deck with outdoor bar seating. Cuddle up in the large living room with remote-controlled gas fireplace, stone hearth, and large Anderson double sliding glass doors, which showcase expansive views of nature and provide direct deck access and true indoor-outdoor living. Entertain guests in the spacious dining room with a sliding glass door leading to the back deck and grilling area.
The primary bedroom has a large walk-in closet and ensuite bath with walk-in shower and marble tile floors, walls, and countertop. Three more bedrooms are on this floor; two have sweeping views of rolling hills and the third looks out to the colorful front garden. A separate laundry room features built-in cabinetry, a folding counter, and LG washer and dryer. The lower-level bonus area offers 750 sq. ft. (per Floor Plan Visuals) broken into three rooms that have been used as an office, home gym, and a family/rec room. Two spacious storage rooms are also located on this level.
The home has a 2-car covered carport with immediate fully covered access to the interior as well as two lockable storage spaces. The house has been meticulously updated for market, including fresh interior paint, updated lighting, new carpeting, refinished floors, and updates to the bonus area.
The outdoor spaces have been thoughtfully designed and provide abundant space for entertaining, relaxing, and gardening. On the main living level, a large deck runs the entire length of the south-facing back side of the house, offering glorious sunrise vistas, expansive Marin Headlands views, and nighttime stargazing opportunities. The deck includes a Restoration Hardware fire table with plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining, including ample space for seating, herb beds, dining, and grilling. The majestic lower-level yard is your own private Marin paradise. A winding staircase lined with natural river-rock stones leads to three separate terraces. The first terrace features a resting area with a custom-made redwood bench that faces out toward the canyon, offering the perfect place to pause and take in serene nature views; the second terrace includes cozy Adirondack chairs for casual entertaining (this space previously contained a children’s play structure); and the third terrace provides a large entertaining space with a custom-built redwood picnic table and benches and has been used in the past for childrens’ birthday parties, summer BBQs with friends, and impromptu picnics on sunny days. Continue down the steps from the third terrace directly to the TCSD-maintained fire road, which provides an off-street path to Tam Valley Elementary School and its numerous playgrounds, ball fields, basketball courts, and fitness circuit areas.
The home is close to many amenities, such as Good Earth Grocery, several coffee shops, Bob's Donuts, The Junction Pizzeria, Hookfish Restaurant, Shoreline Coffee Shop, Proof Lab Surf Shops, and more. The Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), which contains more than 250 trails winding through more than 140 miles of national parkland, is accessed directly from the backyard and at the top of County View Drive. This property is located approximately 1.25 miles from the Tennessee Valley Trailhead parking lot and is an 8-minute drive south to the Golden Gate Bridge or north to the Larkspur Ferry Terminal for easy access to the city. Mill Valley has award-winning elementary, middle, and high schools.
