About this home
Tucked into a majestic hillside setting just above Mill Valley, 122 Ralston Avenue offers a rare connection to nature without sacrificing light, space, or comfort. Surrounded by towering trees and gorgeous landscaping, this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home is bright, airy, and inviting, offering a peaceful escape immersed in natural beauty. A beautiful entrance sets the tone for the interiors, where soaring ceilings, wide-plank oak floors, elevated lighting, and gracious stairways create a sense of understated elegance. From the main living spaces to the bedrooms, the home enjoys a wonderful sense of scale, with generously proportioned rooms that feel expansive yet warm and welcoming. A beautifully appointed chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances opens seamlessly to a casual dining area and family room, creating an effortless flow between the spaces. Views of the surrounding hills and majestic trees grace every room on the main living level, bringing the outdoors in. The exceptionally functional floor plan strikes a lovely balance between open, connected spaces for gathering and private areas for quiet relaxation, allowing for both togetherness and solitude with ease. Multiple decks and patios extend the living experience outdoors, offering idyllic spaces to unwind and enjoy the surrounding landscape. A spacious two-car garage adds everyday convenience and practicality. Despite its peaceful hillside setting, 122 Ralston is just moments from the vibrant heart of Mill Valley, with its charming downtown, celebrated restaurants, boutique shops, and lively cafes.

Middle Ridge, located between Blithedale Canyon and the Camino Alto ridgeline, is a hillside and residential Mill Valley neighborhood with winding lanes and redwood shade. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Depot Plaza area at Miller Avenue and Throckmorton Avenue, where sidewalk patios, small galleries, and coffee counters set a low-key, town-center rhythm. Housing leans to mid-century and contemporary hillside homes with decks and terraced gardens, plus a few older cottages tucked into the trees. Trailheads thread into Mount Tamalpais and the watershed, keeping daily routines tied to steep stairways and forest air. Community touchstones include the Sweetwater Music Hall, the Mill Valley Film Festival at the Sequoia Theatre, and the Mill Valley Lumber Yard’s local makers and eateries. The setting reads quiet and elevated, with foggy mornings and long views opening between the trunks.
