About this home
Single Family · Built 1928 · Historic
Located in Mill Valley's Tamalpais-Park neighborhood, 154 Elm is a charming vintage cottage that has not been on the market since 1968. One of the original Mill Valley subdivisions, it sits on a large, flat lot. Sunny and bright, this home is filled with character and eagerly awaits its next owner. The main house boasts 2+ bedrooms, a light-filled living room complete with a cozy fireplace, a charming eat-in kitchen and bonus room. Hardwood floors and abundant natural light enhance the home's warmth and timeless appeal. Step outside to discover a secluded brick patio, the perfect setting for alfresco dining, highlighted by a mature rhododendron. This peaceful outdoor area connects the main home to a large secondary structure. Originally conceived as a garage, this space has been expanded to include a multi-purpose room, ample storage, and an upper-level suite featuring an office and full bathroom. This building is steeped in history, with wood floors and beams reclaimed from an historic Sausalito distillery. The secondary structure was first used as a wooden boat workshop and then a lively poolroom. The yard is a haven with fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, space for outdoor enjoyment, and is frequented by butterflies and bees. Close to downtown shops and amenities.
