160 Montego Key Novato CA 94949 MLS #326041297

Arguably one of the best locations in Bel Marin Keys, 160 Montego Key captures expansive waterfront views, all-day southern sun, and a uniquely peaceful setting with Mt. Tam featured in the distance. Thoughtfully positioned to balance wide-open vistas with a calm sense of privacy and shelter, this is the kind of waterfront experience that rarely becomes available. Extensively and thoughtfully updated, the home blends warm modern design with effortless single-level living. Every space feels intentional, curated, and deeply connected to the surrounding water and light. Expansive energy-efficient Weathershield windows, white oak flooring, custom lighting, skylights, beautifully reimagined bathrooms, and a standing seam metal roof create an atmosphere that feels elevated yet grounded. The dramatic living room is anchored by soaring wood ceilings, a fireplace with gas starter, and walls of glass that frame the water beyond while filling the home with natural light throughout the day. The indoor-outdoor flow is exceptional. Expansive Ipe waterfront decks, gangway, and dock create a seamless connection to the water, complemented by built-in benches, pergola-covered entertaining spaces, and multiple access points to the outdoors. The primary suite serves as a true retreat, offering peaceful water views, direct access to the deck, motorized blinds, and a spa-like bath with RH cabinetry and calming, timeless finishes. The beautifully renovated kitchen is filled with natural light from dual skylights and features Bosch and Miele appliances, custom finishes, and a clean, understated aesthetic designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Professionally designed drought-tolerant landscaping with olive trees, bamboo, sculptural palms, artificial turf, modern lighting, and integrated irrigation further enhances the home’s sense of ease and tranquility. Set within Marin’s beloved waterfront community of Bel Marin Keys, this is a lifestyle centered around sunshine, boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, and everyday connection to the water, all just 20 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge.
