This storybook retreat tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in the heart of Novato, this enchanting property is a rare blend of character, versatility, and serenity. Set on a lush and level .29 acre lot, this mid-century gem offers a tranquil escape while remaining moments away from vibrant downtown amenities. Step inside the main residence where gleaming original white oak floors and sun-kissed rooms invite effortless living. The updated bathroom adds a modern touch while the vintage kitchen radiated nostalgic warmth. Beyond the main home lies a charming detached cottage- a fully self-contained one bedroom/ one bath sanctuary. Whether you envision a private guest house, a rental income opportunity, or a cozy studio for creative pursuits, this flexible space expands the lifestyle options exponentially. Step outside and let nature embrace you. The expansive backyard features many fruit trees: two kind of apple (Fuji and Golden delicious), Plum (elephant heart), Orange, Lemon (Meyer), Grapefruit, and Loquat all kissed by sunshine and framed by gentle mountain views. A large 1 car garage plus a wide driveway ensures ample parking for family and guests. Whether entertaining or unwinding, the backyard is a private retreat.
