Tucked away among the Redwoods in Mill Valley you’ll find a custom-built masterpiece of grand proportions. Built just this year, this four-bedroom single family home artfully blends today’s modern conveniences with Marin County’s historically known light and scenery.
Designed by OXB Studio Architects, built by Single Point Design Build and customized by Francein Hansen Interior Design, all with impeccable attention to detail, this bright space features an open layout, sophisticated finishes, vaulted ceilings, in-floor radiant heat and other elegant touches. Noting the area’s year-round near-perfect weather and some of the world’s finest views, the design team built this home for the utmost in indoor-outdoor living. The main living area features multiple spaces for relaxing and entertaining. Cozy up by the fire in the 18-by-14-foot living room. Sink into a novel in the 15-by-15-foot family room that looks to the outdoors through floor-to-ceiling windows.
The custom kitchen features marble countertops, pantry and coffee bar, and an oversized island that chefs will love. An artistic light grey backsplash highlights the gas range and hood. A large refrigerator hides discretely behind custom cabinetry. The end result is a sophisticated blend of natural wood, light and dark colors, rays of sun and modern lighting. The kitchen opens to a sunny dining nook; however, you may decide to bypass that seating to take your meals and morning coffee on the outdoor terrace. There, you’ll find a built-in BBQ and refrigerator, as well as more than enough space for an outdoor living room suite.
From indoors or out, ascend the staircase to the upper level where you’ll find three en-suite bedrooms and a central family room. Relax in designer soaking tubs and stall showers with marble surfaces throughout. An office (or fourth bedroom), large walk-in closets and other touches will ensure you feel at home even when duty calls. For guests or extended family, this Cascade Drive home offers a separate one-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage. Both homes sit on an extra-large lot across from Old Mill Park.
Although you’ll have the utmost privacy on this quiet street, you’ll find charming, creative downtown Mill Valley only a short drive away. It won’t take long to realize why Smithsonian magazine named Mill Valley one of “The 20 Best Small Towns in America.”
