Set back from the street is this charming Craftsman bungalow and so much more! Behind an automatic gate is this very special property in the heart of Novato with a 3bd/1ba main house, a detached office and a detached garage converted to a music studio with soundproofing, but great for workshop, hobbies or as a gym. The singe-story main house was built in 1948 and the current owners upgraded it starting around 2009. New furnace and central AC in 2022. Dual pane windows. The 3rd bedroom is used as a family room. There's also a living room, dining room, farmhouse kitchen and interior laundry room. A private deck offers shade and a spa. The property has the feel of a mini compound with its multiple outbuildings and ample parking. There's a detached office with hardwood floors, vaulted ceiling and a built-in desk. There are 2 sheds. The workshop/music/gym space features a half bathroom and 2 storage closets. EV charger too. Well manicured yard with new lawns, patio, a pergola shade structure, plus an enclosed garden with raised beds and bountiful tomato plants. Centrally located just blocks to downtown; also close to the newly renovated Hill Recreation center with pickleball and bocce ball courts and turf fields.
