1 plata court

Located on a large, sunny corner lot in one of Novato's most sought-after areas, this beautifully updated 5-bedroom home with a lounge room attached to the primary suite and 3 baths sits on over a quarter-acre, set among heritage oaks and rolling hills. Offering space and flexibility, plus true multigenerational comfort both indoors and out. Inside, enjoy approximately 2,600+ sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space. A dramatic two-story entry opens to a bright foyer with a formal living and dining room, a den, and an updated kitchen with three sets of sliding doors to access the large backyard - an easy flow making indoor-outdoor living effortless for everyday life and entertaining both. The upgraded kitchen features quartz countertops, white cabinetry, stainless appliances, and oversized windows that fill the home with natural light. Step outside to a fully fenced, true park-like setting: a sparkling, curvy pool with a long, wide patio, a basketball area, and terraced gardens for added privacy and beauty. Native California plantings and mature trees bring seasonal beauty, shade, and a resort-like feel. Multigenerational flexibility is built in on the main level: an expanded 1st-floor setup includes a full bathroom (created by extending the original powder room) with a large walk-in shower and full-size laundry area, also accessible from the garage and backyard - ideal for everyone. Upstairs features five generously sized bedrooms and an updated hall bath with a linen closet, plus ample storage with custom shelving and built-ins. The primary suite includes a large lounge or office area with windows to peaceful views of the garden, a wide opening into the main bedroom, a walk-in closet with built-in storage, and an updated ensuite bath with a spacious walk-in shower and a dressing-vanity area. Extra real-life'' value: a 3-car garage driveway (2-car parking in the garage plus workbench and storage areas) and an extremely large paved parking area for multiple vehicles, campers, RV, or boat needs. And of course, the location is a major win: this home sits in Novato's highly coveted school district - Pleasant Valley Elementary, Sinaloa Middle, and San Marin High.
