Charming Old Town Novato bungalow with classic curb appeal, a white picket fence, and an unbeatable location just blocks from downtown conveniences. Set on a spacious 7,500 square foot lot, this sweet one-story home offers both character and thoughtful updates. The house lives larger than its stated square footage thanks to extra spaces that provide valuable flexibility for work, hobbies, storage, and everyday living. A welcoming front porch creates the perfect spot for morning coffee, while the freshly landscaped front yard features new sod, automatic irrigation, and a newly poured concrete driveway leading to the attached one-car garage. Inside, the home feels warm and inviting with fresh paint, beautiful real hardwood floors, and new Berber-style carpet in the bedrooms. Other upgrades include newer roof, furnace, water heater and sewer lateral. The thoughtful floor plan includes a bright living area and an eat-in kitchen. An enclosed porch expands the possibilities, offering a flexible area for spreading out. The generous backyard is filled with opportunity. A detached structure (in need of work) includes a finished room, plus two additional workshop/storage spaces. With the large lot size, there may also be exciting potential to expand the home or explore adding an ADU. Located in the heart of Old Town Novato, everyday favorites are right outside your door. Trader Joe’s and Starbucks are just three blocks to the east, while Grant Avenue’s beloved shops, restaurants and community events are only two blocks south. Easy commute location just 5 minutes to Highway 101.
