912 Vernal Way Mill Valley, CA 94941

There is a little bit of East Coast charm tucked into the hills of Mill Valley, and it comes with a view of Mount Tam.
 Behind the gate, paver paths wind through lavender and soft grasses, past a sunny lawn and raised beds full of vegetables. Step out to the terrace in the morning, or pull up a chair at the end of the day and watch the light change over the mountain. We have a feeling summer dinners here would last well past sunset.
 Inside, white paneled walls and beamed ceilings give the house that collected, lived-in feeling. French doors open from the living room to the terrace, a brick fireplace anchors the room, and a banquette sits beneath a wide window, ready for a slow breakfast. Just off the living room, a turret room wrapped in windows sits under a vaulted wood ceiling, with a Dutch door out to the garden. Coffee and a book here? We would not say no.
 The kitchen has marble counters, brass fixtures, and a window that frames Mount Tam. The primary and guest bedrooms are just down the hall. Upstairs, under the eaves, the third bedroom looks out to the mountain, and the family room next to it is ready to become a movie-night hideout or a home office.
 When you are ready to venture out, you are perfectly placed between Tam Junction and downtown Mill Valley. Pick up coffee at Equator, meet a friend for tacos at Hook Fish Co., or head over the mountain for a beach day at Stinson.
