Fall in Love with this Backyard! Mature trees provide privacy and shade, creating an outdoor space with room to entertain, garden, play, or simply unwind. There's even a concrete pad ready for your future hot tub. Why settle for a condo when you can have all of this outdoor space and a single-level home with no stairs inside? Inside, a huge picture window fills the great room with natural light. Newly refinished oak floors add warmth and character, while the gas fireplace creates an inviting focal point. The oak floors continue into the bedrooms, two of which offer direct access to the expansive backyard. The highly efficient kitchen features bar seating and convenient interior access to the garage. An inside laundry room with appliances included adds everyday practicality. At the end of the day, retreat to the spa-like bathroom, complete with a deep soaking tub and plenty of useful storage. And it's all under a brand-new 2026 roof. Tucked into a quiet downtown location, you're just a short jaunt to Ayawaska and only a few blocks from Whole Foods, Grant Avenue, restaurants, shopping, and everything that makes downtown Novato so convenient. Single-level living, beautiful oak floors, a gas fireplace, an exceptional backyard, and a brand-new roof all in a location that puts downtown at your fingertips.
