13 Ridge Avenue

An Architectural Retreat at the Crossroads of the Coast, the City, and the Bay - Featured in Dwell, this Mt Tamalpais gem was rebuilt and handcrafted by Scott Hudson, the founder of the award-winning design firm, Henrybuilt. The residence is outfitted throughout with original Henrybuilt products that embody the company's approach to living: integrated, minimalist, and highly functional. Modest in scale but profound in execution, the home feels part innovation lab and part refined outpost. The quality of the materials creates a palpable sense of calm throughout the home. Japanese torched vertical siding and chiseled basalt stone steps define an understated exterior, setting up perfect proportions and brilliant utility within. Rich walnut runs throughout the home, carrying over from the floors and trim to the doors, and then to an array of inventive closets, cabinets, and built-ins. A mural by Miranda Newbauer Hudson adorns the wardrobe further accentuating the creative atmosphere in the home. In the kitchen, the Henrybuilt Kitchen System features aluminum-faced doors, an integrated organizational system, and a Gaggenau induction double burner with teppanyaki grill and convection oven. The marble-tiled bathroom features a steel-framed glass shower wall, vanity, and Henrybuilt needle cabinet. Custom steel doors and windows create a seamless connection to defined outdoor spaces. The Pacific shimmers in the distance, while an Ipe deck with bespoke steel balusters frames three majestic cypress trees and serene views to the Bay beyond. Tucked on the ridge just above Muir Woods and Mount Tamalpais State Park, the setting is an adventurer's dream. World-class hiking and cycling trails are out the front door, while some of Northern California's most celebrated surf breaks and beaches are a short drive away. Just minutes to all Mill Valley amenities (Downtown, Tam Junction, The Lumberyard) and a quick drive to San Francisco.
