| Property Description (Hide Summary) |
Located in the desirable Middle Ridge section of Mill Valley, this stunning home is privately set on approximately 1.17 acres of natural beauty. Architecturally significant, this award winning mid century modern home was designed by well known San Francisco architects Marquis and Stoller. Landscape architects, Royston, Hanamoto, Mayes and Beck worked closely with architects to unite the building with its setting. More than anything, the series of decks (bridges) provide the link between the house and the site.
Three levels of living areas are lightly tied together by open stairways. All outside doors, except the main entrance are glass filled frames. Because of the many trees on the site, the architects felt that the usual generous overhang should be avoided to allow as much light and sky into the house as possible. From almost every room there are stunning vistas
The dramatic living room, with clean lines and walls of glass reaching up to 16 foot ceilings, has French doors on opposite ends of the room which open, on one side, to a deck with panoramic vistas, and on the other side, to a spacious deck and patio that looks off to the pool area. The free form pool is surrounded by a generously proportioned deck.
Expanded in the 70’s, the former owners added “the heart of the house” – the spacious kitchen/family room, adjacent to the dining room. A cook’s delight, the kitchen boasts top of the line stainless appliances, an island with a second sink and dishwasher, an intimate built in dining area with a fireplace and a large family room area backed by walls of glass.
Off the spacious second family room on the lower level, another bedroom wing was added to include the present day master suite, a fifth oversized bedroom and an additional bath and a half. - the second bath with sauna. On the opposite side of the family room, three additional bedrooms, two opening to a sunny deck and patio.
This stunning home fits perfectly into the natural beauty of the surrounding environment. The jury that honored this distinctive house said, “A superb job in making the house a part of the land.”
