This mid-century modern gem sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in Mill Valley’s sought-after Country Club neighborhood. With clean lines in mind, the 2006 remodel retains the home's mid-century modern architecture while offering an open-concept style of living. Skylights in every room and oversized wall-to-wall windows bring ample natural light throughout the home, accentuating the warm elegance of hardwood floors paired with modern touches. Seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living, 7 Barrie Way offers 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1,928± square feet on a spacious 1/3 acre lot. Upscale front and back entertaining decks provide plenty of room for al-fresco entertaining and star gazing.

A distinguished metal gate opens to reveal a sunlit front entertaining deck with built-in seating and beautiful landscape to greet guests to the heart of the home. Modern wood siding, oversized metal-framed windows and lush greenery highlight the warmth of modern mid-century design. The great room boasts open-concept living, dining and entertaining with original exposed wood beams with the ceilings and perimeter walls all painted a brilliant white to accentuate the sense of space, lightness and crispness. High-end appliances outfit a modern kitchen with sleek slate-toned cabinetry, black countertops and waterfall edges. The chef’s kitchen includes a Sub Zero refrigerator, Viking Professional gas range and a Bosch dishwasher. An accent wall wrapped with warm wood panels connects the kitchen to the family room with a wood-burning fireplace adorned with a contemporary slate subway-tile surround and live oak mantle. A secondary family room sits adjacent to the main family room. This room is ideal for casual living and features stylish seagrass carpeting with a wall of windows that enjoy expansive garden views of the back yard.

Modern hardware, a walk-in California Closet and contemporary dual vanities await in the master bedroom and spa-like bathroom. Styled with wood-paneled ceilings, concrete countertops and slate subway tile walls, it’s easy to fall in love with the homes' handsome finishes. Two additional bedrooms and a large Junior Suite, laundry room and guest bathroom complete the floor plan of this inviting single-level home. Other features include finished storage sheds, a Nest thermostat system, and built-in closets throughout. The most striking experience of the home is felt throughout every room by the sheer magnitude of the lush landscaping enjoyed from every room and the cascading flow of greenery from the back yard.
