Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: Built in 1955, this home retains charming mid-century features and has functional upgrades like central AC and dual-pane windows. However, the kitchen and bathrooms, while functional, show signs of being aesthetically outdated, suggesting renovations that occurred approximately 15-30 years ago. The kitchen features older white tile countertops and black appliances, and the bathrooms have dated vanities and tile work. These areas would benefit from minor updates to align with current styles.

About this home
Don't miss this charming single-level ranch in central Novato! 8 Madeline Court is a greatest hits of mid-century: tall exposed-beam ceilings, low-pitch roof with swooping eaves, floor-to-ceiling windows, skylights, and a lava rock facade. The quiet cul-de-sac just a half mile to downtown. The home is bright with an open floorplan and lots of natural light. The grounds are well maintained with walkways, hedges, mature trees, and expansive decks. The backyard enjoys a pool, but leaves plenty of room to play and entertain. The home has several upgraded amenities including central AC, dual pane windows, and electric hot water heater. Half the garage was converted to an office. This home won't last!
