About this home

Welcome to 43 Ferdinand Way—a charming and thoughtfully updated home in the highly desirable Hamilton neighborhood of South Novato. This home offers a smart layout and a long list of recent improvements, all in a peaceful setting with no homes directly behind. Interior and garage walls, ceilings, trim, stair handrails, and baseboards have all been recently painted, creating a clean and cohesive look. The staircase and entire upper level were upgraded from carpet to stylish laminate flooring. The upstairs layout was reconfigured to a Jack and Jill bathroom, enhanced with a new sliding door for shared access. In the dining area, a built-in cabinet and partial wall were removed to create a more open floor plan. Additional enhancements include Tesla EV Charger, low-maintenance front yard landscaping, storage cabinets in the primary bedroom closet, new recessed lights in the dining room, new light fixtures in both kids’ bedrooms, and a swing-arm wall lamp in the primary bedroom and all new electrical outlets etc. Just minutes from the Bay Trail, local parks, SMART train, shopping, dining, swimming pools and schools.
