Middle Ridge Cottage

22 Myrtle Avenue, Mill Valley, CA 94941
$2,400,000

Incredible opportunity to be the second owner of this coveted Middle Ridge property. Situated on a large, knoll-like lot this cottage sits proud offering privacy and views. Surrounded by incredible homes & adjacent to Mt Tamalpais accessed easily vis a vis the end of the street - this home is all about location. Built for the original owner in 1984, the home has a vintage cottage feel, yet boasts a robust foundation, a modern layout and a full interior sprinkler system.


The home lives on one level. There are two spacious living areas, both with vaulted ceilings and each with a wood-burning fireplace. One living area is large enough for formal dining, and of course has an adjacent wet bar. The other living area is more casual, and flows easily into the kitchen, which also allows for a dining area. There are decks in both the front and the rear of the home and of course plenty of privacy. On a nice day, simply have all the doors open and you can flow easily from inside to the outdoors. The entertaining deck offers peek-a-boo views of San Francisco, the Bay and the various ridge lines that surround Mill Valley.


The primary bedroom is massive and has a large picture window that also captures the views through the trees. While the tax records reflect this home as a two bedroom, it can easily be used as a three bedroom. Two comparably sized guest rooms down the hall each feature windows that look out across the grounds and out to nature. There is a shared bath and a separate laundry room on this level.


Below the living level is a massive, attached two-car garage with plenty of storage. Additional off-street parking is available in the private driveway.    Situated in arguably the best part of Mill Valley  just minutes from desirable downtown. A compete set of disclosures and reports are available upon request.

Neighborhood

Nestled at the foot of Mount Tamalpais, homes in this Marin County city range from 500-square-foot hunter's cabins to multimillion-dollar mansions tucked away on winding, narrow lanes under the redwoods.


Coffee is king in Mill Valley. Downtown, three separate coffee shops do a brisk business. At the Depot, as the sunny town center is called, moms with strollers, kids on tricycles, and teenagers kicking hacky sacks relax in the open-air plaza, which now houses an independent bookstore and cafe. The Depot is also a jumping-off spot for hikers and mountain bikers heading up the slopes of Mount Tamalpais. Nightlife in Mill Valley is anchored by Sweetwater Music Hall, which hosts many well-known musical acts.
