About this home
Storybook gables, sunlit rooms, and space to gather in the heart of Novato. Set between a canopy of oak and redwood trees, this 1994-built home at 4 Rondee Lane has been renovated throughout with a warm, editorial hand. Board-and-batten siding, dark-trimmed gables, and a brick-lined entry give the exterior real storybook charm, while inside, four bedrooms and two and a half baths unfold across 2,492 square feet of light-filled, thoughtfully updated living space. The main level offers two distinct living rooms: a formal room with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace, ideal for quiet evenings or entertaining guests before dinner, and an open-concept great room centered on a second fireplace, flowing straight into a fully remodeled kitchen. Countertop island seating makes the kitchen the true hub of the house, with a casual eat-in nook for everyday meals and a separate formal dining room for the occasions that call for one. Upstairs, three secondary bedrooms share a well-appointed bath, while the primary ensuite bedroom stands apart with a walk-in closet, a soaking tub, and double vanities. A two-car attached garage with mudroom keeps daily life organized, and outside, an out door kitchen with built-in barbecue connects a, brick patio and turf lawn for easy entertaining from the main living space. Rondee Lane sits in one of Novato's central pockets, close enough to downtown's shops and restaurants for weeknight ease, yet walkable to Pioneer park. Hiking trails, top-rated schools, and quick access to Highway 101 round out the location.
Central Novato, located between Novato Creek and Highway 101, is a historic and civic Novato neighborhood with a walkable downtown grid and a creekside greenbelt. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Grant Avenue at Redwood Boulevard, where sidewalk patios, independent boutiques, and old-school storefronts set a steady, small-city pace. Community pillars include the Novato Theater Company, the Novato History Museum, and Trek Winery. Early- and mid-century homes mix with classic Main Street commercial blocks and pocket courtyards. Vintage signage, shade trees, and public art give the streetscape a lived-in feel. Trails and lawns along Novato Creek Park tie daily routines to the water and footbridges.
