Perched above the Camino Alto Open Space Preserve, this rare 4BR, 3.5BA residence offers more than 3,200 square feet of peaceful living on one of the area's larger lots, just minutes from downtown Mill Valley. Framed by towering oaks and pines, three sun-filled exposures, wraparound decks, mature gardens, and meditative fountains create a private retreat immersed in nature. Inside, grand living and formal dining rooms feature vaulted natural-wood ceilings, two striking fireplaces, and beautifully refinished original hardwood floors throughout the upper levels. The chef's kitchen, appointed with a Wolf range, granite countertops, and custom wood cabinetry, opens naturally to outdoor dining and the surrounding gardens. The lower level features new flooring, while fresh interior paint and thoughtfully refreshed landscaping bring a renewed sense of ease throughout. With its generous scale, privacy, and natural setting just minutes from town, this is Mill Valley living at its most refined: a peaceful sanctuary retreat where rustic charm, thoughtful design, and the natural world meet in perfect harmony

Warner Canyon-Kite Hill, located between downtown Mill Valley and the slopes of Mount Tamalpais, is a hillside and wooded Mill Valley neighborhood with winding lanes and trail-laced open space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Miller Avenue corridor near the Mill Valley Lumber Yard, where coffee windows, design studios, and small-batch food counters set a low-key, outdoors-forward tone. Homes lean toward mid-century lines and contemporary rebuilds, often tucked behind redwoods with decks and terraced gardens. Trailheads and stair-stepped streets shape daily routines more than stoplights. The Mill Valley Lumber Yard and Sweetwater Music Hall act as cultural anchors, with The Depot Bookstore & Cafe adding a literary pause. Foggy mornings and sun breaks define the canyon-to-ridge atmosphere.
