About This Home
Situated in one of Mill Valley’s most desirable neighborhoods, 84-86 Hill Street embodies timeless Marin charm. This isn't just a home; it’s a sanctuary where the scent of towering redwoods mingles with the town center's sophisticated energy, all framed by breathtaking views of Mt. Tamalpais.
The primary residence is a beautifully composed 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat that feels both grand and deeply grounded. The experience begins on the classic covered front porch—the perfect spot to pause and take in the surroundings before stepping inside. Throughout the home, warm wood floors guide you through spaces defined by the craftsmanship of a bygone era, featuring stunning box-beam ceilings and a classic brick fireplace that serves as the soul of the living space.
While the vintage-style kitchen and original double-hung windows offer a nostalgic nod to the home’s heritage, they also present an incredible opportunity for the visionary buyer. The residence could be thoughtfully updated and reimagined for today's lifestyle, offering a rare chance to blend the home’s soulful vintage character with the crisp lines of modern luxury. Whether you choose to preserve its historic integrity or infuse the interiors with contemporary finishes, the property’s bones provide a spectacular canvas for a bespoke transformation.
Adding to the property’s versatility is a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit downstairs. Whether you’re looking for a dedicated guest suite, a sophisticated home office, or a rental opportunity, this additional space provides the kind of flexibility that is rare in such a prime location.
Life here is defined by a seamless connection to the natural world. Tucked away for ultimate serenity is a private patio garden, a lush outdoor room where you can decompress under the canopy of majestic redwoods. It’s an ideal setting for al fresco dining or a quiet morning coffee while surrounded by verdant greenery. You can spend your mornings watching the light shift across the ridges of Mt. Tam and your afternoons exploring the vibrant boutiques, artisan coffee shops, and world-class dining of downtown Mill Valley, just moments away. 84-86 Hill Street offers a unique chance to own a piece of Mill Valley history and tailor it into a modern masterpiece.

Family-friendly Mill Valley is all about schools and sports. Nestled at the foot of Mount Tamalpais, homes in the Marin County city range from 500-square-foot hunter's cabins to multimillion-dollar mansions tucked away on winding, narrow lanes under the redwoods. Coffee is king in Mill Valley. Downtown, three separate coffee shops do a brisk business. At the Depot, as the sunny town center is called, moms with strollers, kids on tricycles, and teenagers kicking hacky sacks relax in the open-air plaza, which now houses an independent bookstore and cafe. The Depot is also a jumping-off spot for hikers and mountain bikers heading up the slopes of Mount Tamalpais. Nightlife in Mill Valley is anchored by Sweetwater Music Hall, which hosts many well-known musical acts. As the groomed playing fields at the community center attest, sports are big in Mill Valley, with soccer, baseball, and lacrosse leagues all popular.
