916 Alturas Way, Mill Valley, CA 94941

Set amid Mill Valley's enclave of Marin Terrace with eastern and southwestern outlooks that stretch over the green ridgelines of Tam Valley beyond, 916 Alturas Way holds itself with a certain composure, the kind that only comes from thirty years in one family's care. High ceilings and massive windows allow light to pour in throughout the day, filling the rooms with contours that shift by the hour, and an ease that makes every room feel even bigger than it is. The layout sets the home apart, where every level has its own sense of privacy and place. Walk in from the front door to a generously scaled first bedroom and full bath, flexible enough to serve as a guest suite, home office, or den. The main living level flows easily from a vaulted-ceiling living room with fireplace and soaring windows, into the dining room and a kitchen that keeps pace, with warm custom cabinetry, a garden window over the sink, a gas range, and a small breakfast bar with a built-in wine fridge.
