Welcome to 1 Heuter’s Lane in Mill Valley, perched on a knoll just above downtown. This Mount Tam View Home offers incredible privacy, natural light, and a spacious, airy feel. The three-story residence is divided into two sections: the main house, which includes the entertainment space, garage, and upper bedroom level; and the lower-level in-law or au pair, featuring a living area, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.
Altogether, the house boasts ~3,230 square feet (per FloorplanVisuals) of living space with six bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and sprawling decks that gaze out to the summit of Mount Tam. The private lot provides multiple outdoor recreation areas, including a large level lawn and a sitting area on the north side of the home.
Visitors arrive in a fairytale-like setting, approaching the front door via a meandering garden walkway into the home's formal entry. Just off the entry is the formal living room with vaulted ceilings, skylights, a gas fireplace, built-in speakers, a bay window overlooking the front garden, and sliding doors leading to an expansive deck. The dining room connects the living room to the kitchen, family room, and breakfast area, and looks straight out to the view. Imagine dinner parties and games nights with Mt. Tam as the backdrop.
The kitchen features handsome stainless appliances by Thermador and KitchenAid, including a gas cooktop with five burners and an integrated wine refrigerator. The kitchen transitions into the breakfast room, which features a built-in desk, glass-faced cabinetry, and another sliding door to the epic view deck. The family room hangout area is just off the kitchen, offering the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Other first-floor features include a powder room, laundry room with side-by-side washer and dryer, and a two-car garage.
Upstairs is the main bedroom level. The primary bedroom offers two main areas: a sleeping area and a sitting room / home office. The primary features an attached balcony overlooking the view and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams. The primary bath includes dual vanities and a jetted shower-over-tub. The sitting room has built-in shelves for books and display items. Four additional bedrooms are located on this level and as well as a full bath on the main hallway.
The lower level of the residence features a legal ADU or au pair, with separate entrance, bedroom, full bath, kitchen, and living area. This level also boasts expansive decks and enjoys great privacy. 1 Heuters offers gorgeous grounds that include a level low-maintenance artificial lawn and plenty of space for gardening. A separate hangout area is located on the side of the property.
Downtown Mill Valley is accessed just down the Heuters Steps, which are across the street from the home and add significantly to the home’s convenient location. Mill Valley is known for being a tight-knit community centered around neighborly meetups and entertainment, including the Mill Valley Film Festival, the Fall Arts Festival, concerts, comedy events, and more. Top-rated schools are located nearby, whether public or private, and an extensive network of hiking and biking trails surround the property in the rolling hills off of Mt. Tam. Located just minutes from San Francisco, Mill Valley offers an incredible microclimate and enviable lifestyle.
