About This Property
Some properties are defined by the opportunity. This Mill Valley home is a prime example. On the sunny side of Mill Valley, 40 Alvarado enjoys sweeping views of Mt. Tamalpais and the surrounding coastal hills, in a serene setting with little traffic. This sweet spot location, on the prow of a ridge above the morning damp, gives easy access to town, parks, trails and award-winning schools, yet a convenient commute. Owned by the same family for nearly 70 years, it's the kind of property that rarely becomes available. The approximately 1,800-square-foot residence offers 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, generous living spaces, a detached garage and a variety of outdoor areas for seating, dining and play. Solidly built in 1939 of stout redwood framing, the home can be enjoyed as it is today, refreshed over time, or thoughtfully reimagined to take full advantage of the extraordinary setting. What makes 40 Alvarado particularly compelling is its combination of things you can't easily create elsewhere: sun, privacy, views, usable outdoor areas and great access. Prime Recreation & Education: You can be at the elementary school in under two minutes, or to a park in under three. The park has lawn, picnic and play areas, tennis courts, trees, creek and Little League diamonds. Mill Valley Tennis & Swim Club is just beyond the park, and the town's municipal golf course sits in a redwood grove a few minutes beyond. Middle school and high school are an easy bike ride away. Vibrant Local Life: A pleasant stroll through the park and quiet streets brings you into the village of Mill Valley for fine dining, shopping, music and film venues, and great community. Outdoor Adventure: World-class hiking and biking trails are blocks away, gateways to vast expanses of public open space where a network of routes gets you up or around the mountain or to the Pacific. Marin's shared backyard offers a lifetime of exploration in myriad natural settings. Unmatched Convenience: Access to Highway 101 is easy, and quick access to public transit. For the buyer with vision, 40 Alvarado represents something increasingly difficult to find in Mill Valley: a property with exceptional fundamentals and the chance to make it your own. Live in it. Improve it. Reimagine it. The location has already done the hard part.
