Welcome to 315 Ralston Avenue, a serene retreat in the sought-after Middle Ridge neighborhood of Mill Valley, just a few miles north of San Francisco. This approximate one-acre gated estate offers a unique blend of grandeur and intimacy, perched above the treetops at the base of Mount Tamalpais.
Originally built in 1941, this 3795 sf, five bedroom, three full and one half bathroom home has been meticulously updated by the resident designer, who has elevated each space with bespoke materials, seamlessly blending personality and harmony. Additionally there are two family rooms, formal living and dining rooms, a library (one of the 5 bedrooms) and an artist studio.
The heart of the home is the expansive living room, where a grand fireplace serves as a focal point. The room flows effortlessly into adjacent rooms that foster openness and intimacy. Multiple decks and large patios, ideal for gatherings, extend from almost every room on the main level, making it an entertainer’s dream home.
A favorite space is the cozy library, surrounded by nature, offering inspiration and serenity, perfect for focused work or relaxation.
The sunlit kitchen features a butler’s pantry, abundant storage, and an adjacent laundry room/mudroom with a private entrance. The eat-at counter opens to a spacious family room on one side and the formal dining area on the other.
An oversized bedroom suite and a custom powder room complete the main floor.
Take the staircase off the family room to the primary suite which occupies its own private floor surrounded by windows inviting nature's beauty indoors. This luxurious space includes two walk-in closets, a perfectly positioned bathtub, and more breathtaking views that make it hard to leave home.
A separate staircase off the formal living room leads to the lower level, where there are two more bedrooms and a second family room with a separate entrance with a charming Dutch door. This space is ideal for guests, extended family, a work-from-home space, or perhaps an au pair. An additional storage area is tucked into a converted, hard-to-reach corner, and the hallways with wet sinks lead to an artist’s studio, perfect for creative pursuits to multiples uses.
The property’s beautifully maintained grounds include a nature walk with winding paths leading to a private orchard, a rose garden, and a meditation area. With parking for six cars, ample room to turn around, and an expansive decking area, this home is ideal for hosting parties, holiday gatherings, or just a mid-week get-together with family and friends.
Whether you seek privacy or serenity, this estate offers both in abundance.

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.
