THE CROWN JEWEL OF MILL VALLEY

166 ELINOR AVENUE | 5 BR / 5 BA | INQUIRE FOR PRICEAlexander Lurie, Davis Pemstein, & Justin Fichelson

Just above the coveted town of Mill Valley, the historic Sherman Estate offers magnificent panoramic views of downtown San Francisco, SF Bay and Bay Bridge, Mount Tamalpais, and the acres of open space that surround town.

The Sherman Estate is an indoor/outdoor country estate positioned perfectly in Mill Valley’s sun-soaked prime weather district on an exceptional, largely level lot. Exclusive and tranquil, while still very close to the shops, restaurants, and schools in town, its grounds are replete with historic oak trees, dogwood, heirloom gardens, and green vegetation. A sparkling 60′ x 12′ lap pool, a vegetable garden and potting house, gracious bluestone terraces, yard, play area, and playhouse offer relaxation and fun.

A two-year multi-million dollar renovation is just now complete.

The iconic Sherman Estate was constructed in 1926 by Cornelia and Frederick Sherman, who purchased the exquisite site in 1924 from Thomas and Anne Kent of the distinguished Kent Family after which Kentfield was named.

Mr. and Mrs. Sherman were admired as influential, key civic leaders in Mill Valley and the greater Bay Area. A well-known Bay Area landscape designer, avid dancer, and supporter of the women’s suffrage movement, Mrs. Sherman served as a nurse in World War I during the 1918 flu epidemic during which time she met Army 2nd Lt. Frederick Barreda Sherman. During World War II, Mrs. Sherman assembled the first women’s fire fighting team in Mill Valley.

Neighbors are quick to share that the Sherman Estate is the first property on the hill. The lot, hand selected for its orientation in the sun and soaring views of San Francisco, the Bay, Mill Valley ridge line, and Mount Tamalpais, is considered among the best in Mill Valley. There have been only three owners of this wondrous estate in its 90+ year history.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN TRI-LEVEL VIEW LOFT

380 10TH STREET #27 | 2 BR / 2 BA | $1,050,000Todd Montgomery & Marcus Lee

380 10th Street #27 is a fully updated 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom tri-level loft that seamlessly integrates industrial design elements and contemporary aesthetics that define true urban loft living. Centrally located in the lively SOMA district, this dynamic space delivers on every loft essential: undivided living space, soaring height ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, custom fixtures and finishes, and exposed industrial architectural elements. The home also features impressive downtown vistas via two balconies, one on the main level and one on the third level, as well as direct access to a common roof deck.

Loft 27’s main floor opens via a grand entry with double height ceilings, an appealing open-concept living room, and a kitchen featuring chic industrial design elements. Rustic wide plank hardwood floors, exposed architectural steel beams, double-height floor-to-ceiling windows, and a balcony with downtown views make for a dramatic and memorable entertaining area. Custom fabricated metalwork,

wooden beams, and a rich patina have been integrated seamlessly into the kitchen to complement the rustic charm of the living space. Further customizations of this chef’s dream kitchen include hand-welded fitments, raw steel components, a Sub-Zero fridge with built-in glass door, a chef-grade Bertazzoni stove, an under-counter wine refrigerator, and an integrated stainless sink and countertop with the absolute best in contemporary fixtures.

An open wooden stair tread leads to the second floor mezzanine level, overlooking the first floor, which houses a large second bedroom complete with period soft wood flooring, a custom cantilever desk system, and ample closet space. From the second floor, a steel spiral staircase leads to the impressive third level of the home: a spacious, one-of-a-kind master suite with a grand-height arched ceiling, an expansive wall of windows, a sizable deck, and an adjacent en-suite bathroom with custom industrial design elements.

EDIE NARRIDO Senior Sales Associate

LAURA PALLIN Sales Associate

WILLIAM CRUM Sales Associate

TONGA ROOM & HURRICANE BAR

The Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar at the Fairmont Hotel is a San Francisco classic perfect for a fun date night or fun night out with visiting friends. The tikki bar theme is kicked up a notch with a lagoon in the middle of the restaurant that features tropical rainstorms and a floating barge with a cover band to get the dancing going. The tropical drinks are decadent, and the Pan-Asian cuisine is great.

SWAN OYSTER DEPOT

Go to the Swan Oyster Depot! Everything is delicious, especially the chowder.

TOP OF THE MARK

Top of the Mark is still one of my favorite spots to admire the beautiful views and beautiful people of San Francisco.

CONTRABAND COFFEE BAR

For people serious about their coffee, this is a great place. They roast their own, serve delicious waffles and offer free wi-fi to get online while you enjoy a great cup of coffee.
