Set on the sunny side of Mill Valley with sweeping views of Mt. Tamalpais and the surrounding coastal hills, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 1,800 square feet of living space, a detached garage and an exceptional setting that has been cherished by the same family for nearly 70 years. Built in 1939 with substantial redwood framing, the home sits above the street in a peaceful setting with little through traffic. Generous living spaces, multiple outdoor terraces and established gardens create an easy connection between indoors and out, with areas for dining, entertaining, gardening and play. A vintage Gravenstein apple tree and secluded upper portion of the property add to its distinctive character. The home offers an exciting opportunity for its next owner: enjoy it as it is, thoughtfully update it over time, or reimagine it to take full advantage of the sun, views and setting. The fundamentals are already here, and they are increasingly difficult to replicate in Mill Valley. The location is equally compelling. Boyle Park, with its tennis courts, playing fields, playground and open lawn, is just minutes away. Nearby hiking and biking trails connect to Mt. Tam and Marin's extraordinary network of open space. Downtown Mill Valley's restaurants, cafs, shops and community life are within easy reach, while local schools are remarkably close. For commuters, Highway 101 and public transportation are easily accessible, providing convenient access to San Francisco while preserving the quiet and privacy of this special residential setting. Sun, Views, Privacy, Outdoor space, Access, and Opportunity. 40 Alvarado is the increasingly rare Mill Valley property that allows its next owner to create something distinctly their own.
