Enjoy classic Mill Valley farmhouse style and nearly an acre of serene outdoor space in this pristine four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home on a verdant street-to-street lot in coveted West Blithedale Canyon.
Spanning just under 3,000 square feet, this exquisite home was substantially and thoroughly renovated and expanded in 2011-2013 and has been meticulously maintained and updated since. Prefinished wood floors and new carpet run throughout, and vaulted beamed ceilings and abundant windows add warmth and intrigue. The dramatic living room invites you to relax in front of an updated gas fireplace surrounded by slate and a custom cherry mantle. Glass doors open to a wide river rock patio for seamless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining overlooking the breathtaking scenery. Stone steps, rock walls and paths meander through the sprawling irrigated grounds where bright sunlight is filtered through majestic redwoods and lush ferns. Delightful seating areas are tucked throughout the property, and a small pond and the Arroyo Corte Madera del Presidio which run through the bottom of the property add to the tranquil wooded ambiance.
Inside, the masterfully expanded kitchen dazzles with custom cabinetry, Caesarstone counters, Turkish tile and a double farm sink. Chefs will love the upscale appliances, including a white six-burner Viking range with griddle, double ovens and an industrial hood, plus a Bosch French door refrigerator and dishwasher. Imagine lavish dinner parties in the glorious dining room surrounded by windows and custom built-ins. Ahead, the spacious family room is sure to become a favorite gathering spot with its beamed ceilings and separate sunny deck.
A pocket door from the living room reveals the ingenious main-floor owner's retreat layout, where a powder room can be made available for guests while closing off the rest of the suite. The freshly carpeted bedchamber boasts redwood views and direct access to the primary terrace, and a huge dressing room/walk-in closet attends to wardrobe needs. The en suite spa bathroom beckons with a floating double vanity and an oversized river rock and tile shower with a bench.
Head downstairs to find a second family room area featuring its own deck. A spacious secondary suite can easily accommodate two beds alongside a walk-in closet and a large en suite bathroom. Two more spacious and bright bedrooms on this level share a hall bathroom finished with a river rock shower and contemporary floating vanity. Custom bedroom closets, a large linen closet and an elevated laundry closet provide ample storage on this level, and the large two-car detached garage tops another 230-square-foot storage room.
This home's extensive updates include rebuilt decks and foundations; new plumbing, electrical, sewer and lighting; a new roof, windows and doors; new on-demand water heater, furnace and gas lines; central vacuum system; new irrigation, fencing, a storage unit and a generator-ready sub-panel.
This prized street-to-street lot stretches from Eldridge to West Blithedale for direct access to outstanding Mt. Tam trails and Blithedale Park. Less than one mile from downtown Mill Valley shopping.
