Some homes are built. Others are works of art... Perched among the redwoods in Mill Valley's desirable Middle Ridge neighborhood, this extraordinary 1922 residence reflects decades of artistic vision, craftsmanship and imagination. Transformed by a passionate collector of geological treasures, skilled woodworker and stone artisan, the home offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and almost 2,200 square feet on a beautifully landscaped lot of over 19,000 square feet. Handcrafted California brick archways, intricate stone mosaics, arched doors and magnificent stained-glass windows lend an almost storybook quality. Vaulted ceilings distinguish the living room, dining room and entry, while richly paneled wood walls and ceilings bring warmth to the bedrooms and hallways. A beautiful fireplace anchors the main living area, and sculptural stonework and colorful glass reveal unexpected details at every turn. Even the kitchen features distinctive fossil-bearing stone countertops, a testament to the artisan's fascination with the natural world. Outside, winding paths meander through terraced gardens, past mature camellias, climbing vines, fountains and charming bridges. A creek winds through the property, while stone patios invite moments of quiet among the redwoods and views of the surrounding valley. Some trees rise through portions of the decks, creating an especially close connection between home and landscape. A garage/workshop offers additional flexibility. This peaceful retreat is within easy reach of downtown Mill Valley's cafs, boutiques and restaurants, as well as Mount Tamalpais and nearby trails. Ready for thoughtful updating and restoration, 278 Summit presents a rare opportunity to preserve and reimagine a truly singular piece of Mill Valley's architectural character.
