Escape to a serene country setting in this beautifully modernized hillside cottage retreat at 137 Maestro Rd. The open-concept interior immediately impresses with its light wide-plank flooring, crisp white walls, and a wall-mounted mini-split system ensuring efficient heating and air conditioning year-round. Perfect for casual dining and culinary creativity, the fully updated kitchen showcases striking cobalt blue tile countertops, pristine white shaker cabinetry, a premium black refrigerator, and a versatile, movable butcher-block center island that doubles as a breakfast bar. Large windows and glass sliding doors flood the entire living space with beautiful natural light while framing peaceful views of the surrounding mature trees. The private bedroom offers a quiet oasis, highlighted by a massive, custom walk-in closet lined entirely in rich, aromatic natural cedar planks, which sits adjacent to a cleanly refreshed bathroom featuring a white vanity and a spacious step-in shower stall. The living space extends effortlessly through sliding doors to a private, low-maintenance concrete patio area, completely set up for al-fresco lounging, morning coffee, or grilling with your gas or electric BBQ. Nestled in a quiet enclave on a private street, this cottage is situated on a secure, gated property that offers independent country privacy with the convenience of two dedicated parking spaces located right outside your door on the paved front pad. To ensure a seamless tenancy, a convenient flat utility fee of $250 per month covers gas, electricity, and water (based on single occupancy), while the tenant maintains independent accounts for garbage and internet services. Daily quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM preserve the peaceful environment of this unique single-parcel property--shared only with a main home next door--while the non-smoking cottage includes its own private washer/dryer. Combining custom high-end interior touches with a highly functional layout, this pristine cottage provides a rare, turn-key opportunity for anyone seeking a peaceful, low-maintenance lifestyle in Indian Valley.

About West
Novato
West Novato, located between Highway 101 and the rolling open space of Mount Burdell, is a residential and semi-rural Novato neighborhood with hillside views and a patchwork of ranch-style streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Grant Avenue and Redwood Boulevard junction, where small storefronts, taquerias, and everyday services set a low-key rhythm. Vintage Oaks at Novato anchors local shopping with an open-air layout and shaded walkways. Hamilton Field History Museum adds a distinct layer of place, tying the area to Novato’s aviation-era past. Housing trends toward mid-century single-story homes and newer infill, with pockets that feel closer to country roads than city blocks. Trailheads and creekside greenbelts shape daily routines as much as the street grid.
