Sycamore
Tucked away in one of Mill Valley’s most beloved neighborhoods, 175 Locust Ave is a rare Sycamore Park find—effortlessly blending mid-century modern style with everyday comfort. Impeccably maintained with thoughtful updates throughout, this 2-bed, 2-bath home plus a bonus family room is filled with natural light, offering a warm and inviting vibe from the moment you step inside.
Clean architectural lines, plaster walls, and Clear Old Growth Redwood siding set the tone, while walls of windows bring the outdoors in. The remodeled and updated kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring modern finishes and a large pantry for extra storage.
A wrap-around Ipe deck extends the living space, leading to a flat backyard perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Soak in the hot tub under the stars, enjoy the peace of mind of a whole-house generator, and take in the scenic views that make Mill Valley living so special.
The garage includes a dedicated workshop, ideal for projects, hobbies, or extra storage. All this, just minutes from parks, trails, and the heart of downtown. A truly special home in an unbeatable location.

about this
Neighborhood
∎
Family-friendly Mill Valley is all about schools and sports. Nestled at the foot of Mount Tamalpais, homes in the Marin County city range from 500-square-foot hunter's cabins to multimillion-dollar mansions tucked away on winding, narrow lanes under the redwoods.
Coffee is king in Mill Valley. Downtown, three separate coffee shops do a brisk business. At the Depot, as the sunny town center is called, moms with strollers, kids on tricycles, and teenagers kicking hacky sacks relax in the open-air plaza, which now houses an independent bookstore and cafe. The Depot is also a jumping-off spot for hikers and mountain bikers heading up the slopes of Mount Tamalpais. Nightlife in Mill Valley is anchored by Sweetwater Music Hall, which hosts many well-known musical acts.
As the groomed playing fields at the community center attest, sports are big in Mill Valley, with soccer, baseball, and lacrosse leagues all popular.
