Motivated Seller! Price reduced. Flexible owner financing opportunities are available to qualified buyers through seller-may-carry (OWC) options, offering a smoother path to ownership without traditional lending hurdles. The seller is also open to reviewing creative structural incentives or concessions with strong offers. Backing to a natural preserve in Novato's sought-after Pacheco Valley, this end-unit townhome offers more than 1,380 square feet of bright, easy living. The open living and dining areas flow together around a warm fireplace, with the kitchen just steps away, a layout that works as well for quiet weeknights as it does for hosting. A half bath and dedicated laundry room complete the main level. Upstairs, two generous en-suite bedrooms each claim a full bathroom and a private balcony framed by green, open views. Out back, a private patio and elevated deck extend the living space toward the trees. Morning coffee, evening wind-down, weekend gatherings, all with a preserve as the backdrop. The attached two-car garage is oversized, with room for vehicles plus genuine storage. Community amenities include a pool, playground, and direct access to miles of hiking and biking trails. The location seals it: quick access to Highway 101, the SMART Train, and the Marin Airporter, with the wineries of Sonoma and Napa an easy drive north. Trees at the back door, the freeway five minutes from it.
Pacheco Valle, located between Ignacio Boulevard and the Pacheco Valle Preserve, is a residential and hillside Novato neighborhood with winding cul-de-sacs and oak-studded open space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Ignacio Boulevard and Diablo Avenue junction, where a small cluster of everyday storefronts meets steady commuter flow. Townhome-style buildings and low-slung condos step along the slopes, with many streets oriented toward ridgelines and trailheads. Pacheco Valle Preserve frames the area with dirt paths and bay-view clearings. For a local night out, HopMonk Tavern and Trek Winery anchor nearby hangouts, while the Novato Theater Company adds a cultural note downtown.

The PD zoning district is applied to large parcels capable of being developed as an integrated community neighborhood, with appropriate public services, infrastructure, and neighborhood convenience retail and services; and to smaller sites with sensitive environmental resources or other unique constraints. The PD zoning district allows flexibility in site planning and development standards to encourage developments that are sensitive to natural resources and surrounding community context. The PD zoning district may be applied to any land use designation of the General Plan.
