• The well-established neighborhood has long been considered the heart and soul of residential Mill Valley perched just above the center of the downtown village with steps nearby leading into town.

Arguably the very best weather zone, at the foot of Mt. Tam, the location is the reason the home was originally built here on a nearly flat road. This neighborhood represents the essential Mill Valley and the reason Mill Valley was originally coveted, becoming one of the most sought-after communities in the Bay Area. There is nearby access to superb hiking and biking trails, redwood forests and dramatic landscapes renowned throughout the world.
