Sycamore Park Residence This beautiful family home in Mill Valley, California comes with stylish kids bedrooms, stunning new interiors and an additional ADU (accessory dwelling unit) for extra guests. It sleeps 8 comfortably. This home was thoughtfully designed by the preeminent local architect, Barbara Chambers. The owners have carefully renovated the property with meticulous attention to detail, creating a stylish yet practical environment for families. Parents traveling with teens, grandparents or a nanny will love the ADU, which has its own kitchenette and bathroom so that everyone can have their own privacy. Spend your days hiking in the hills, exploring the family-friendly town of Mill Valley or visiting the world-class wineries and vineyards of Northern California - this is the perfect spot for a family getaway.WHY KIDS LOVE ITThis welcoming home is great for kids of all ages. It’s safe enough for little ones but the neighborhood is perfect for older kids too. Kids over 3 will love the detached playhouse behind the property, and the ADU offers plenty of space away from parents to play with an endless supply of toys, puzzles, books, legos, magna-tiles and doll/baby accessories (all for kids aged 3-7). Older teens may also love the ADU for its privacy and can use this space as their own bedroom. The children’s bedrooms are beautifully designed with built-in closets and cabinets all stocked with more toys and books. And don't miss a trip to the beach - the coast is just half an hour away.THINGS TO KNOWMinimum stay: 7 nights, although the hosts would welcome longer stays or ideally a booking for the whole summer. The hosts' housekeeper will come 2x/week for $200/week. Safety notes: there are stairs up to the property but you will most likely use the side entrance through the mud room. The garage has been converted into a gym with Pilates barrel, rowing machine, squat rack and more. Parking is available for 1 car in the driveway and 2 on the street in front of the house. Car rental is recommended although not strictly essential.ABOUT THE LOCATIONThe house is located in Sycamore Park, in Mill Valley, California. This area is a dream for kids and parents alike as it is walking distance from all the charming offerings in Mill Valley. The town has wide choice of popular eateries and local stores. Also within walking distance there are several playgrounds and sports courts for different ages and the house is across the street from the local elementary school with access to fields and play structures. It is also walking distance to an incredible network of hiking and biking trails (try the Dipsea Trail Head or the Octopus Trail). Sausalito (10 minutes’ drive) is a great day out for the family, as are the beaches of the West Coast (Muir Beach is 20 minutes’ drive). San Francisco is 10 miles away and the airport is 50 mins away. Mill Valley was voted best small towns in America (Smithsonian Magazine April 2012).ACCOMMODATION DETAILSThis residence has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, set over 2 floors and the ADU. Guests can enter through the mudroom or the front door. Downstairs there are 2 living spaces, 2 kids bedrooms (each with a bunk bed), 1 full bathroom, 1 half bathroom, the mudroom, dining area and kitchen. There are dramatically high ceilings throughout with oversized windows. Upstairs is the primary bedroom (with a king size bed) and bathroom. The back living room opens to the outdoor space which includes an area for the kids to play on a hard surface and a dining area, as well as the wild buffalo grass beyond. In the back corner is a playhouse dedicated for kids. There is also a guest house that has a kitchenette, bathroom and a double Murphy bed - perfect for a nanny, visitors or as an additional play area for kids.STYLE NOTESModern farmhouse. This beautifully-designed home has a Scandinavian, soft modern aesthetic. This home has been recently renovated by the hosts, who have chosen white oak floors, natural fiber rugs, oversized windows and stunning Holland and Sherry wall finishes. The furniture is predominantly from Ligne Roset, Roche Bobois, Ethnicraft and Restoration Hardware, along with lots of finds from the hosts’ travels around the world. The owners have a meticulous eye for detail coupled with a love of home improvement, creating a welcoming yet stylish home from home. We love the striking modern fireplace, the inviting window bench in the kitchen and the unique wooden sculpted light fixture in the living room.
