In a quiet neighborhood just blocks from downtown Novato, this spacious 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath home combines a flexible floor plan with a fabulous backyard featuring a solar-heated swimming pool and multiple spaces for outdoor living and entertaining. Three bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, including the primary suite and a bedroom that makes sense as a den/office. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and a full bath provide plenty of space for family, guests, hobbies or work-from-home needs.

Hardwood floors extend throughout much of the home, including the bedrooms, adding warmth and timeless appeal. The inviting living room features a gas fireplace insert for focused warmth, while the kitchen is equipped with a newer counter-depth refrigerator, double wall ovens and a gas cooktop. Double-pane vinyl windows and fresh interior paint add to the home's move-in-ready appeal.

The backyard is made for enjoying the best of Marin living, with the solar-heated pool surrounded by newer concrete decking, plus an outdoor shower and convenient half bath serving the pool area. A lawn provides a soft surface for play, while a covered BBQ area and screened-in dining space create inviting settings for summer gatherings, outdoor meals and relaxed afternoons by the pool. A newer shed tucked into the side yard provides convenient additional storage.

Additional improvements include a brand-new electrical panel and cleared Section 1 work. A new driveway, attractive landscaping and a generous covered front porch create a welcoming first impression, while custom pergolas above the garage and front windows add distinctive architectural interest to the home's exterior. All this in a convenient location close to downtown Novato's restaurants, shops and amenities, with easy access to Highway 101 and the SMART train.
