A Quintessential Downtown Mill Valley Home, Framed by the Redwoods
385 Throckmorton captures the essence of downtown Mill Valley living: a warm and inviting home in the coveted flats, surrounded by majestic redwoods and just a stone’s throw from Old Mill Elementary, the Mill Valley Library, Old Mill Park, and the iconic Dipsea Stairs. Set behind a classic white picket fence, the home feels bright and open, with expansive windows that frame the surrounding redwoods and capture the beauty and serenity of Mill Valley’s landscape.
The main level unfolds into a sun-filled living room with three skylights and a wood-burning fireplace, creating a welcoming space to gather. Just beyond, the dining room makes the most of the spectacular setting with vaulted ceilings, an additional skylight, and a wall of windows overlooking the majestic trees.
Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen features marble countertops, a six-burner Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, center island, and a built-in Miele espresso machine. Direct access to the rear deck creates a seamless connection outdoors, ideal for morning coffee, dinner under the trees, or simply taking in the serenity of the surrounding nature.
Three bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, including a front bedroom with its own private access to the sunny front yard and a peaceful primary bedroom with a private deck overlooking the trees.
Downstairs, a spacious family room provides an entirely separate place to relax and gather, with a wood-burning stove, wainscoting, and two sets of sliding glass doors opening directly to the lower patio and backyard. Two additional bedrooms, a wet bar, office, laundry room, generous storage, hidden wine cellar, and flexible bonus space offer exceptional versatility for guests, working from home, fitness, hobbies, or simply room to spread out.
Outside, the backyard feels like a natural extension of the home. A brick patio and lounge area create abundant inviting spaces to gather, offering wonderful potential to further personalize the setting. Towering redwoods provide an extraordinary backdrop, creating a sense of connection to Old Mill Park just beyond the property.
With its flexible floor plan, exceptional natural light, beautiful redwood setting, and coveted location in the heart of downtown Mill Valley, 385 Throckmorton offers the rare opportunity to enjoy both the tranquility of nature and the convenience of one of Marin’s most beloved neighborhoods.
