Over-sized picture windows and French doors provide wonderful light and easy access to the outdoor areas. Maple floors, granite and marble counters, travertine tile and custom features throughout the house all contribute to the unique appeal of this inviting 1,900 square foot home.

Hiking the Tennessee Valley trail to the beach which is just 10 minutes from here. Cooking excellent dinners and eating outside during the summer; Taking long, hot baths in the clawfoot tub after a day touring the nearby wine country; hopping in the car and going to Chinatown for dim sum; attending the ongoing Tuesday night comedy club shows in Mill Valley where Robin Williams or Will Durst might make a surprise visit...
Owner's Map of Mill Valley
I'm a 4th generation San Franciscan and love living so close to the City yet being in a country setting with the great blue Pacific Ocean just over the hill from my home. I travel extensively teaching writing and dance workshops around the globe and invite you to enjoy my lovely, tranquil home in Marin County while I'm on the road.
