About This Home

Set in Novato's President's Area, this spacious and thoughtfully updated home offers sweeping views, strong indoor-outdoor flow, and a flexible layout that creates options for a variety of living needs. The upper level is filled with natural light, with an open living and dining area framed by expansive picture windows overlooking the Bay, hills, and surrounding landscape. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, while the updated kitchen features quartz counters, newer cabinetry, modern appliances, and direct access to a newly rebuilt deck, creating an easy connection between everyday living, entertaining, and the view. The primary suite is generously sized and includes deck access, new flooring, and a private ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms and an updated hall bath complete the main level. The finished lower level adds meaningful flexibility, with a second living area, bedroom, remodeled full bath, and kitchenette. It is well suited for extended family, guests, a home office setup, or additional separation of space. It could also provide an opportunity for rental income as it is completely separate from the upstairs. French doors open to a covered patio and a large, usable yard with a play structure, firepit area, and room to gather or unwind. Additional highlights include dual-pane windows, recessed lighting, air conditioning, engineered hardwood flooring throughout, and two separate garages, including a 2-car garage with laundry hookups plus a separate 1-car garage for added parking, storage, or utility. A rare combination of views, usable outdoor space, updates, and flexible living in one of Novato's most desirable neighborhoods.
