Not every sunrise is this nice...
The view includes Tiburon, Belvedere, Angel Island and even the East Bay.
Every sunrise seems special.
Our view of the Bay sure doesn't require a telescope!

About this property

Mill Valley Escape-Minutes to Freeway, Wooded Lot & Water View

Vista Mill Valley has the details inside and outside that warrant your consideration. Inside, the property has nice furnishings, from granite counter tops to the Fisher & Paykel gourmet gas range. The bedroom has an 8 ft glass window and a 10 ft sliding glass door. The living room has another 8 ft window, making the wooded lot a part of your experience. Your unit has its own deck, accessible from the bedroom or the main entrance. Your water view includes Richardson Bay, Tiburon, the Sausalito houseboats, Angel Island, the East Bay hills, and, on a clear night, the lit-up cranes of the Oakland waterfront, across the Bay.

Why Mill Valley?
Mill Valley is popular for visitors from around the world because it is minutes from San Francisco, yet a world apart. Famous for its wooded hillsides and water views, Mill Valley has been the home of many notables, from Jerry Garcia to Janis Joplin. Grab a coffee in our downtown, and you might just recognize a few of our current residents.

If you've not been the the San Francisco Bay Area before, do stay in San Francisco for at least one night. But then come join us here in Mill Valley, for the perfect northern California experience.

Why this property?
Before putting this unit on the market we completed a major remodel, taking much of the property down to the studs. All the small details - sophisticated lighting, built-in speakers, etc. - contribute to a great experience. The kitchen is small, so we made it special, with a gourmet gas range, granite counter tops, etc. The deck was always nice, but we made it nicer, with Brazilian teak, and cable railings. And the exterior path and steps have been redesigned, to better leverage the garden.

Mill Valley has many wonderful properties, but some of them are time-consuming to get to. This property is only 1.1 miles from the freeway ramp.

Two considerations: 1) Like many San Francisco, Sausalito and Mill Valley properties, this unit does not have air conditioning. 2) It's about 40 steps to the unit. Not 40 in a row (there are multiple landings) and most of the steps are low-rise, but do read the reviews and make sure the property is right for you. Thanks!

Absolutely Perfect Stay!!! 5🌟
Located on the quieter side of The Bay. A fabulous place. Super clean and remarkably comfortable. Thoughtfully decorated to let in the light and beauty of the surrounding area. Beautifully landscaped gardens including a variety of blooming plants, a spectacular redwood tree steps from the front door and a goldfish pond. Property is pristine inside and out. The in-unit binder with local finds along with instructions/expectations very helpful and appreciated. Bill was really helpful, offered to be readily available for consultation. Definitely recommend staying here and hope to return in the future. Thank You Bill & Terry

Beautiful respite
Loved this respite on the hill! Place was clean with beautiful views. The place is well laid out and the kitchen has everything you might need. Easy to get to Tennessee Beach and Muir Woods, wonderful places to explore nature in the area. I’ll be back!

A Perfect Retreat
This was our second time staying here and we absolutely love this place. It is clean, private & perfectly located. The view is spectacular in all weather. It is close to the bike trail, Tam Junction and our family. There are even great donuts at the bottom of the hill. In a very short time you can be at Muir Beach, Woods and Overlook & Rodeo Beach. Downtown Mill Valley has lots to see and eat. But don't miss Angel Island, Point Reyes, and a ferry to San Francisco. If you like hiking, there are plenty of trails to choose from. We will definitely go back. Thank you Bill & Terri for offering such a great retreat.

Why they chose this property

I've lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1978. Lots of communities are great. Berkeley's as entertaining as any place in the world, and Palo Alto and Menlo Park were both good addresses when I was working for dot-coms. And for a night-life, San Francisco is, of course, the place to be. But for being close to everything, yet feeling far away, Mill Valley is as good as it gets. (Go to Wikipedia, and look up 'Mill Valley' to see an amazing list of the rich and famous who have selected this town as their home.) While some parts of Mill Valley are hard to get to, this house is only 5.4 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge, making the property particularly practical.
