Rare not just for Mill Valley, this is but one of four original two-level floor plans in Strawberry Point. It possesses the period adornments of a classic Eichler structure within its dramatic ~3,689 square feet of living space, and a variety of techniques are used on the grounds to integrate the indoors with the outdoors for today’s modern lifestyle. This is a four-bedroom floor plan across two levels with a double-height living room, floor-to-ceiling windows, and bonus spaces throughout. The home wraps around a massive multilevel deck and numerous pathways cross the property. Minutes to neighborhood schools, downtown Mill Valley, and San Francisco, this private location is simply unrivaled."
