Mill Valley | $3.995 Million

A modern farmhouse built in 2010, with four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, on a 0.1-acre lot

Kelly Haegglund, a local architect popular for her modern translations of classic styles, designed this home as her primary residence in 2010, using many of the elements for which she is known. Ms. Haegglund also designed the front and rear yards, using drought-tolerant materials.

The property is in the Sycamore Park neighborhood, about a mile from the center of downtown, with easy access to a public elementary school and a public middle school. The city of Mill Valley is adjacent to a state and a national park. San Francisco is an hour’s drive; Muir Beach is 20 minutes away.

Size: 2,555 square feet

Price per square foot: $1,563

Indoors: A cedar picket fence separates the front yard from the street; a path leads to the front porch and the wood-and-glass front door.

The sunny foyer opens into an even sunnier living room with white shiplap paneling, hardwood floors and a corner fireplace with a Venetian plaster surround. The hardwood floors continue into a breakfast area with a built-in window seat and the kitchen beyond, which has a center island with a Silestone counter, open shelving and white wood cabinets. An adjacent dining area has windows looking out on the backyard and a door to the rear porch.
