Charm radiates from every corner of this single-level Novato gem, where drought-tolerant gardens, flagstone pathways, and blooming hydrangeas create a picture-perfect first impression. Step through the handsome wood front door into a light-filled living room anchored by a classic fireplace and gleaming hardwood floors, with a wall of sliding glass framing leafy garden views from nearly every angle. The sunny kitchen delivers warmth and function in equal measure, featuring abundant maple cabinetry, generous counter space, a gas cooktop, skylit ceiling, and a cheerful dining area perched beside a wide picture window. An adjacent laundry and powder room adds everyday convenience, while the attached garage offers parking and storage. Two comfortable bedrooms include a primary suite with its own sliding glass door opening directly to the expansive backyard patio - your morning coffee spot just steps from bed. The full hall bath shines with crisp white tile, a tub/shower combination, and a sunlit garden window. Outside is where this property truly stretches its legs. A sprawling 700+ square foot patio sets the stage for lounging, gardening, and gathering under the open sky, while the generous, gently terraced lot offers raised planting beds, mature oaks, fruit trees, and room to dream - garden, play space, or future possibilities. Awnings, a pergola, and established landscaping complete the setting. Located minutes from downtown Novato's shops, restaurants, parks, and commute routes, this delightful home blends vintage character with everyday comfort and an outdoor lifestyle that's hard to beat. Move right in and make it yours - opportunities like this don't linger.
