Richardson Bay views, a street-to-street lot and a beautifully finished renovation in one of Southern Marin's most livable locations. Extensively rebuilt from the inside out, 188 Almonte offers the increasingly rare combination of a truly move-in-ready home, flexible space and an everyday connection to the outdoors. The light-filled main level opens to a broad view deck overlooking Richardson Bay, with the water coming alive in the early morning and again in the evening light. The kitchen connects easily to the living and dining spaces, with a powder room completing the main level. Three bedrooms and two full baths occupy the level below, while an entire lower floor with a full bath and garden access creates an exceptional guest suite, media room, gym or second office. A dedicated home office with its own private entrance sits separately from the main living spaces, creating real work-from-home privacy. Outside, mature landscaping surrounds a newly finished garden with built-in concrete fire pit and in-ground hot tub. The street-to-street lot provides access from Almonte Boulevard and Lilac Lane, with a side-by-side two-car garage. Extensively rebuilt with new electrical, plumbing, windows, doors and flooring, plus solar and two Tesla Powerwalls for energy storage and backup power. Tam High is nearby, the Mill Valley-Sausalito bike path runs along Richardson Bay just below the neighborhood, and Tam Junction puts Good Earth, Hook Fish, Equator Coffee and everyday essentials within easy reach. Mt. Tam, Muir Woods and Muir Beach are minutes away, with San Francisco just across the bridge. The rare Mill Valley house where the setting is special and the work is already behind you.
