Own a Mill Valley Gem

Located in Mill Valley's Tamalpais-Park neighborhood, 154 Elm is a charming vintage cottage that has not been on the market since 1968. One of the original Mill Valley subdivisions, it sits on a large, flat lot. Sunny and bright, this home is filled with character and eagerly awaits its next owner. The main house boasts 2+ bedrooms, a light-filled living room complete with a cozy fireplace, a charming eat-in kitchen and bonus room. Hardwood floors and abundant natural light enhance the home's warmth and timeless appeal. Step outside to discover a secluded brick patio, the perfect setting for alfresco dining, highlighted by a mature rhododendron. This peaceful outdoor area connects the main home to a large secondary structure. Originally conceived as a garage, this space has been expanded to include a multi-purpose room, ample storage, and an upper-level suite featuring an office and full bathroom. This building is steeped in history, with wood floors and beams reclaimed from an historic Sausalito distillery. The secondary structure was first used as a wooden boat workshop and then a lively poolroom. The yard is a haven with fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, space for outdoor enjoyment, and is frequented by butterflies and bees. Close to downtown shops and amenities.

Property Tour

Neighborhood

Family-friendly Mill Valley is all about schools and sports. Nestled at the foot of Mount Tamalpais, homes in the 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. As the groomed playing fields at the community center attest, sports are big in Mill Valley, with soccer, baseball, and lacrosse leagues all popular.
