About this home

This owner built home was a continual source of delight for its' occupants, Sally & Joe, for nearly 60 years. It is imbued with love. They made the most of its' immediate proximity to nature, appreciating the wildlife, dining on the deck, enjoying the sun & shade. They loved to entertain, & hosted innumerable dinner parties. Their hope would be that someone is seeking a rare retreat such as this, and that it continues to be enjoyed into the future.

About Blithedale

Canyon

Blithedale Canyon, located between downtown Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais State Park, is a wooded and hillside Mill Valley neighborhood with creekside trails and mid-century cabins. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the junction of Blithedale Avenue and West Blithedale Avenue, where cyclists, hikers, and café tables set a steady outdoor tempo. Homes range from shingled cottages to modern hillside builds tucked into redwoods and steep lanes. The Dipsea Steps and nearby trailheads shape daily routines with stair climbs and shaded walks. Community touchstones include the Mountain Home Inn, the Throckmorton Theatre, and the Mill Valley Public Library. The canyon geography keeps the soundscape to birds, bikes, and seasonal creek flow.
