Ideally located just steps from downtown Mill Valley, on a quiet tree-lined street, this picturesque 1906 Craftsman has been updated and restored to the highest standards of contemporary design and ease of living. The home’s welcoming exterior, framed by redwoods and a front deck, speaks to the historic character, while inside, elegant upgrades, modern infrastructure, and eleven skylights enhance the home’s classic architecture.
With 1,422 +/- square feet of living space, the residence features a great room with soaring open beam ceilings, two bedrooms, and one-and-a-half baths. Every room connects seamlessly to decks and outdoor spaces, creating a natural flow between indoors and outdoors - adding charm and functionality to this enchanting residence.
Enter through a vintage wood-shingled Craftsman façade, where a refurbished front deck, new parking pad, and lush landscaping of towering redwoods, Japanese maples, ferns, and mature plantings create an inviting approach. A wide front stairway leads to the spacious deck, before stepping through the front door into a light-filled foyer. Natural light pours in from abundant windows and a skylight above, showcasing terra-cotta tile flooring.
From the entry, step up into the expansive open concept great room, where soaring 14-foot open-beam ceilings, six skylights and rich Brazilian hardwood floors create a stunning, light filled space. An artisan-crafted gas fireplace with dramatic floor-to-ceiling venetian plaster surround anchors the room, while French doors at the rear open directly to a patio beneath redwood trees, extending the living space outdoors.
To the right, the custom chef’s kitchen features a peaked wood-lined ceiling boasting two more skylights, over open shelving, stainless-steel appliances including a double oven and five-burner gas range, black granite countertops, and terra-cotta tile flooring.
Just beyond the kitchen, a bright laundry porch & pantry offers another skylight, ample storage, newer LG washer and dryer, and a convenient powder room. From here, step onto a cozy side deck bordered by greenery.
Off the great room, a hallway leads to the bedroom wing. A spacious primary suite is located at the end of the hall with an abundance of natural light from multiple windows, including bay windows overlooking the front garden, while a glass door on the opposite wall opens to the side deck. The suite also features a large, outfitted closet and brand-new carpeting. The en-suite bath, also accessible from the hallway, includes a skylight, shower & soaking-tub combination with dual showerheads, and white tile surround.
The second bedroom, also with brand new plush carpeting and a fully outfitted closet, includes a sliding glass door which opens to the same side deck, extending the indoor-outdoor space to each room.
Walk outside the front door to explore tranquil outdoor spaces, including the front deck overlooking a beautifully landscaped garden, or enjoy the best of Mill Valley just a few blocks away. This rare location offers a car-free lifestyle steps from downtown, with everything within a five-minute stroll: Mill Valley Library, Old Mill Park, Sweetwater, Equator Coffee, the Depot, coveted restaurants, shopping, and the movie theater. Nature enthusiasts can also reach the iconic Dipsea Trail, Cascade Falls, and Muir Woods hikes on foot. With two-car parking on the new pad, 7 Elma represents one of Mill Valley's most sought-after walk-everywhere properties.

about this
Neighborhood
∎
Family-friendly Mill Valley is all about schools and sports. Nestled at the foot of Mount Tamalpais, homes in this Marin County city range from 500-square-foot bungalows to multimillion-dollar mansions tucked away on winding, narrow streets 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.
