219 Laverne Avenue, Mill Valley
$6,495,000


Long considered one of the most revered properties in the highly desirable Homestead area of Mill Valley, this outstanding residence seamlessly integrates sophisticated, cutting edge architecture with sprawling, estate like grounds that are a rarity in the community. A stunning renovation was completed in 2008 with no expense spared. Timeless, designer finishes including the extensive use of plaster walls, Fleetwood Doors and Windows, bespoke lighting, and high-end fixtures are evident throughout the +- 4880 square foot home and detached guest house. The heart of the home is grand scale chef’s kitchen with seamless integration to the outdoor living spaces that include a large al fresco dining area, sweeping level lawn, and lush, verdant gardens. The sprawling +- 7/10ths of an acre grounds were artistically designed and bring the outdoors into most of the home’s main living spaces. Old growth Oaks, Laurel hedges, Bonsais, vegetable gardens, Roses, Lilies, beautiful succulents, and Podocarpus all grace the +- 7/10ths of an acre offering. The residence is also ideal for hosting both large scale events and smaller, more intimate affairs.  219 Laverne Avenue is perfectly site placed to take advantage of “reach out and touch” Mt. Tam views. Beautiful views are enjoyed from most of the home’s room. Located in the flats of Mill Valley in an ideal commute location with easy access to Whole Foods and many of Mill Valley’s highly desirable shops and restaurants.
