Charming Residence in Blithedale Canyon

Welcome to 78 Coronet Avenue, a charming shingle-style residence nestled in the heart of Mill Valley. Perfectly situated just a short stroll from downtown in the coveted Blithedale Canyon. This idyllic home offers the best of both tranquility and convenience together with stunning views of Mount Tamalpais. The +/- 2730 SF remodeled, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath residence was expertly expanded and updated with Heidi Richardson Architects at the helm. The layout is designed to create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The Chef’s kitchen and formal dining rooms both open to the stunning front courtyard and gardens, with a built-in barbecue and water feature. The gracious living room leads to a light filled sunroom and deck overlooking the terraced gardens. The lower level features two additional bedrooms, one currently used as an office/family room with French doors opening to the covered terrace and level lawn. 

The exquisite gardens were designed and maintained by renowned landscaper Tony Mekisich. Step through the front gate to the beautiful beds of flowers and outdoor living/dining area. Follow the pathways through the garden to find an abundance of fruit trees and plantings including: Lemon, Lime, Orange, Tangerine, Persimmon, Pomegranate, Blueberries and Strawberries, three types of Apples and 12 varieties of roses, including the beautiful Julia Child. The garden also offers multiple seating areas, providing a serene outdoor oasis. Luxurious amenities include a hot tub and custom outdoor shower with copper backsplash. 

Through the private gate at the bottom of the +/- 9000 SF parcel is a “secret passage” leading to Lincoln Avenue and a quick 5-10 minute stroll into town. Situated in a much sought-after Mill Valley location, close to scenic trails, vibrant cafes, an exceptional market, boutiques and the charm of downtown, this home is a rare find.
