The story
Light, airy, and effortlessly serene, this Mill Valley townhome is one of just 16 in the Springside Circle community, and the calm begins the moment you step inside. A soaring two-story entry gives way to natural oak floors, crisp white walls, and clean Scandinavian lines, while soft northern light pours through tall windows, framing the green of the surrounding treetops. The main level is open and easy to live in. A galley kitchen with granite counters and an induction range opens to an inviting dining nook, softly lit by a pendant light and made for lingering. Beyond, the living room unfolds beneath cathedral ceilings, anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace, with a natural spot for a desk so working from home feels inspired, not improvised. Glass doors slide open to a fully fenced, tree-sheltered patio that catches the late-afternoon sun, perfect for a glass of wine or dinner outdoors. Through the gate, shared outdoor spaces offer room to gather or unwind, from a dappled courtyard with benches to a fire pit terrace and a manicured lawn beneath a magnolia. Back inside, a powder room rounds out the first floor. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms sit apart from the living areas, each with vaulted ceilings, new carpet, window coverings, and its own walk-in closet. The primary adds a cozy sitting area and a large linen closet, while the second bedroom is bathed in bright southern light. The updated split bath pairs new porcelain tile with a vanity for each bedroom and a shared tub and shower. Fresh paint throughout the home, cabinetry included, makes it truly turnkey. Everyday conveniences include an attached one-car garage with inside access and laundry hookups, an additional uncovered assigned space, and whole-house water filtration. Then there's the location. Marin Headlands trails begin just up Pine Hill, and Good Earth, Equator Coffee, and Hook Fish Co. at Tam Junction are only minutes away. A quick back-way route via Miller Avenue puts downtown Mill Valley's shops and restaurants within easy reach, no Blithedale traffic required. Muir Beach is about 15 minutes over the hill, and the scenic coastal drive continues on to Stinson and Bolinas. For commuting, Highway 101 and the Golden Gate Bridge are remarkably close. This is truly Tam Valley living at its best.
