300 Cape Ct #1

Don't be fooled by the streetscape fence! Step inside the wood gate -- you will behold a vintage Mill Valley shingled summer home completely refurbished to meet work-at-home needs and quick access to some of Marin County's greatest outdoor spaces. Constructed in 1907 as a practical one-room cottage offering respite from San Francisco's rebuilding after the Great Earthquake of 1906, and then expanded over the years, this single-story brown shingle offers all the comfort needed for modern living. Featuring two cozy bedrooms, a modern kitchen, and full bathroom, this quaint post-earthquake home retains its century-old character and historic charm. Soft wool carpets, double-glazed windows, natural-fiber window treatments, skylights, and rich laminate flooring create a warm and relaxing home. Perched at the start of the Pixie Trail, and on the road to Stinson Beach and Mount Tamalpais, active outdoor lovers will appreciate this ideal recreational location. You can also relax on the large private redwood deck while planning your next hike or bike trek on the mountain! This expansive flat sunny lot is ideal for the gardener in you. If you have a green thumb, the owners may help you get started with a veggie garden outside your kitchen. Previous tenants graciously donated two water-trough planters so you will have a head start on your veggies and herbs. At the front gate, an old wisteria peaks in the Spring, enveloping your arrival with fragrant purple blossoms. A mature Meyer lemon tree in the front produces year-round. A bountiful Fuji apple tree and several non-bearing dwarf olives also grace the property. The property is entirely fenced and enjoys year-round sun! Energy costs are minimized in this completely insulated and energy-saving home. The original wood-burning fireplace in the living room, made of fire-baked 1906 earthquake bricks, has been converted into a hassle-free gas unit. Next to your primary unit, a smaller in-law apartment is occupied by a quiet single person. The owners' workshop is located at the rear of the property. You'll share the garden and laundry facilities. All new paint and flooring throughout! 2 bedrooms with NEW wall-to-wall wool carpet.
