    What's special

    Premium location for this sweet vintage cottage on one of the best lots in the heart of the sunny side of coveted Blithedale Canyon! With true southwestern exposure, you will be amazed at the all-day/all-year sun, providing a light and spacious living environment. Step through the gate and be enchanted by the meandering mature gardens, oak trees and sitting areas, with filtered views of glorious Mt Tam throughout the property. First time on the market in 52 years! This home has been lovingly preserved, with soaring cathedral ceilings in the living room and formal entry. A wall of windows in the main living areas open seamlessly to oversized front deck, allowing for gracious 3-season indoor/outdoor living. Surrounded by much more expensive homes, this parcel allows for significant upside for buyers looking to maximize their investment. Blithedale Canyon is the traditional entry point to Mt. Tamalpias, Marin Open space and the epic Mill Valley trail system, perfect for hikers and bikers! Just a few flat blocks to bustling downtown Mill Valley with its restaurants, shopping and live music. The perfect home base for your active Marin lifestyle!
