About this home
Single Family · Built 1949
Wonderful and sunny Blithedale Canyon/Middle Ridge location, close to downtown Mill Valley and a multitude of hiking trails, and steps/lanes/paths. This charming home was extensively rebuilt in 1979 and designed by the architect/owner. Floor plan calculations show main home at 2656sf and in-law unit at 579sf for a total of 3235sf of living space and a mostly level lot at 12,000 square feet. Excellent opportunity to update and remodel the existing home to make it shine. 4-bedrooms, 3 baths, plus office/nursery on primary suite upper level. Formal living room with fireplace, dining room and family room off kitchen. Lovely front and back yard with mature landscaping and much privacy. Additional detached space with kitchen and bath already in place. 2-car carport and storage. Huge potential in one of Mill Valley's most desired locations! Walk on Paloma Lane (steps/lanes/paths) from W Blithedale for easy downtown access and charm.
