Tucked among towering redwoods, lush ferns and moss-covered rocks, 550 Edgewood is a truly one-of-a-kind Mill Valley propertyan enchanting retreat where history, nature and character come together in a setting that feels almost hidden away from the world. Affectionately known as the Hobbit House,'' the home has a storybook quality and a rare sense of place, yet remains just minutes from downtown Mill Valley. Easy Access to the infamous Dipsea Stairs and world class hiking trails await The home lives primarily as three bedrooms, with an additional guest room featuring an en suite bath and private nearby entrance, offering a wonderfully flexible space for visitors, a home office or extended stays. The oldest section of the home, now the living and dining room, is believed to have originated as a simple hillside cabin. Its varied redwood boards, subtly irregular lines and original craftsmanship remain beautifully visible, giving the space an unmistakable warmth and a sense of history that cannot be replicated. Throughout the property, expansive decks invite you to dine beneath the trees, gather with friends or simply slow down and take in the surrounding beauty. Mature redwoods, ferns and moss-covered rocks create a lush, almost magical backdrop. A seasonal waterfall and creek weave through the landscape during the wetter months, adding another extraordinary element to this already captivating setting. Near the hot tub, a charming playhouse is tucked among the greenery, adding to the home's whimsical character. Below the two-car garage, a large unfinished area provides abundant storage and exciting potential for future use; buyers are encouraged to investigate possibilities with the City of Mill Valley. Rarely does a property offer this combination of history, privacy, natural beauty and imagination. 550 Edgewood is more than a homeit is a truly distinctive piece of Mill Valley, a private woodland sanctuary with a story of its own, waiting for its next chapter.
