Muir Woods Retreat

This five-bedroom, five-bathroom Mill Valley home is synonymous with simplicity, functionality, and, most of all, sophisticated elegance. Besides its expansive size, it enjoys a unique location just 15 minutes from the footing of the Golden Gate Bridge. A few yards from the front door is access to Muir Woods, with miles and miles of diverse trails surrounded by redwood.

Inside, you are met with beautiful hardwood floors spanning the home’s some 5400 square feet. When it’s tranquility that you desire, retreat to the living room where tall ceilings with recessed lighting and oversized windows bursting with natural light work in tandem to create a bright space that elevates your mood. Full of mid-century modern flair, the space comes complete with a flatscreen TV and fireplace to guarantee relaxation and entertainment. What’s more impressive, however, is the next room over, which features an expansive bar area and a pool table—get ready to rack ’em up! The kitchen flows seamlessly between food prep areas and endless seating options, including two dining tables and four bar chairs at the Carrera marble top island. It’s the perfect spot to gather for cocktail hour before dinnertime. Better yet, enjoy an après-dinner beverage in the second living room, appointed with rich furnishings, a grand piano, and an additional fireplace.

The spacious master suite allows you to rest peacefully on a plush king-size bed across from the flickering flames of the fireplace. Nearby, the master bath takes luxury to a whole new level. It’s defined by vaulted ceilings with skylights, a soaking tub, and Carrera marble from the floors to the shower all the way to the dual vanity. Among the other bedrooms on this level is a guest room with a queen bed, a guest room with a full bed, and an adorable nursery.

This fantastic Muir Woods Retreat also has a spacious one-bedroom in-law apartment. Its open floor plan includes a large living room, a well-equipped kitchen, a full bathroom, and a bedroom with a double bed.

Sunny days are meant to be spent outdoors catching a breeze as you sit among the verdant lawn or underneath the pergola. When the temperature rises, make the quick 15-minute drive to Muir Beach—a secluded cove favored by locals. To the west is Mount Tamalpais State Park, with approximately 46 trails and peaks up to 2,571 feet above sea level—talk about views! Mill Valley is also home to galleries, wineries, and great local parks, making it a must-visit destination for all.
