About this home
∎
Sometimes the best homes aren't the biggest — they're the ones with the most possibilities.
Welcome to a rare combination of move-in-ready comfort and future potential.
Thoughtful renovations and designer details elevate this light-filled single-level home in Strawberry, one of Mill Valley's most sought-after neighborhoods, offering three bedrooms and one bathroom on a spacious 9,190 square foot lot.
Warm hardwood floors complement premium finishes like Emtek hardware, handcrafted Phillip Jeffries wallpaper, Anderson windows, and a modern gas fireplace. The chic kitchen features a Bertazzoni range and Bosch dishwasher, while the stylish bathroom proves that even the smallest room was designed with intention.
The outdoor spaces were made for easy California living. Behind the private front gate, the courtyard becomes an outdoor living and dining room, perfect for everything from quiet mornings to dinner with friends. The rear deck captures Tiburon and Ring Mountain views, while the vast backyard enjoys endless possibilities for entertaining, gardening, or playing, complete with mature fig, pear, and apple trees for a little farm-to-table inspiration. An attached garage adds seamless utility and valuable storage space.
But the real story is the opportunity that lies beneath. The substantial basement offers exciting expansion potential, creating the possibility for additional bedrooms, bathrooms, a home office, guest suite, or expanded living space. Move right in and enjoy the home as it is today, with the flexibility to grow into it over time.
The location on a quiet one-way street is equally enticing, with Strawberry’s shops, restaurants, parks, schools, and community amenities just minutes away, plus convenient access to Highway 101 for commuters.
Combining thoughtful updates, exceptional convenience, and meaningful expansion potential, 143 Richardson Drive is a rare opportunity to enjoy everything Mill Valley has to offer today while investing in what tomorrow could bring.

Strawberry occupies a rare pocket of Mill Valley — wooded hillsides on one side, open bay views on the other, and a shoreline path most visitors never discover. The architecture doesn't try to match: a 1960s ranch sits comfortably beside a home that's clearly seen a recent, considered renovation, and the mix reads less like inconsistency than character.
It's also one of Marin's most underrated addresses. Strawberry quietly delivers what Mill Valley and Tiburon are known for — the views, the access, the sense of arrival — without the fuss. Nobody's trying to impress you here; they're just living well.
Strawberry Village shopping center anchors the neighborhood with the convenience of everyday essentials, plus dining including the newest additions of Cholita Linda and SF's beloved Tartine.
The parks do real work, too — not scenery, but the actual site of weekday afternoons: same benches, same families, kids who've known each other since preschool. Strawberry truly is a magical place to call home.
