Welcome to 1848 Center Road, this 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home with large barn is a time capsule and reflection of old time Novato. Situated on a flat 1/3 acre, originally purchased for weekend farming, still bears original pear trees and offers a flat and private ranch feel. This is the first time this property has been offered for sale since the family purchased the land in the 1940's. Originally built in 1951 as a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom, the home was expanded in 1969 by the same contractor that was hired to build the home, maintaining the original hardwood floors and building supplies. The barn is equipped with power, lighting and on a poured cement slab with large sliding door.
