Even in this market, this downtown Mill Valley home won't last...



Wow. We just took a look at one of our favorite homes we have seen in Mill Valley- it is in a great location, classy, fun, half a block from the library, two blocks from downtown, and yet feels like it is its own little compound. The owners only bought this home a couple of years ago, and listed it at a very competitive price to get it sold, and we think with all they have done tot he house it will sell fast. 5 beds, 3 baths, 3,260 square feet, and listed at $2,450,000. There are a lot of fun elements to the home- bold use of paint, an upstairs loft/office/exercise room that can only be accessed via steep stairs that alternate and feel like they were made for a ship, guest rooms with built-in beds that would be fun for kids, a fantastic built-in seating area in the kitchen, and a home that seems to just surprise you with each room. The home is listed by Patricia Oxman at Frank Howard Allen and the address is 389 Throckmorton. Even if you are not buying in that price range try to take a look at it because it is a really special home.

Update - looks like this amazing home went into escrow within a week! We will see if it sticks but it was not a surprise to see this in escrow so fast! Update 2- it stuck! Sold in a week!
