Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and well-maintained, fitting the 'good' criteria perfectly. While originally built in 1989, it has received strategic updates including new quartz kitchen countertops, a modern subway tile backsplash, and at least one remodeled bathroom. The exterior siding, paint, and extensive wooden decking appear to be in excellent condition with no signs of deferred maintenance. Although some original elements like the oak cabinetry and older appliances remain, the home is functional and updated enough for immediate occupancy.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 31964, living area = 2919.
At approximately $445 per square foot for nearly 3,000 square feet of living space on a 0.73-acre lot, this property offers a significantly lower price-to-size ratio than typical suburban homes in the Novato area.
The intelligently designed three-level floor plan provides excellent spatial separation, featuring a private top-floor primary penthouse and a massive lower-level wing ideal for a professional studio or guest suite.
The 0.73-acre lot is primarily hillside, which may limit the amount of flat, usable yard space for traditional outdoor activities or gardening compared to a level lot.
The property has undergone multiple price reductions since its initial listing, which may suggest initial overpricing or buyer hesitation regarding the specific rural-coastal location.
