Premium location for this sweet vintage cottage on one of the best lots in the heart of the sunny side of coveted Blithedale Canyon! With true southwestern exposure, you will be amazed at the all-day/all-year sun, providing a light and spacious living environment. Step through the gate and be enchanted by the meandering mature gardens, oak trees and sitting areas, with filtered views of glorious Mt Tam throughout the property. First time on the market in 52 years! This home has been lovingly preserved, with soaring cathedral ceilings in the living room and formal entry. A wall of windows in the main living areas open seamlessly to oversized front deck, allowing for gracious 3-season indoor/outdoor living. Surrounded by much more expensive homes, this parcel allows for significant upside for buyers looking to maximize their investment. Blithedale Canyon is the traditional entry point to Mt. Tamalpias, Marin Open space and the epic Mill Valley trail system, perfect for hikers and bikers! Just a few flat blocks to bustling downtown Mill Valley with its restaurants, shopping and live music. The perfect home base for your active Marin lifestyle!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
