11 zandra place

Newer construction, farmhouse-style residence with views in one of northern Marin's most desirable settings. Built in 2015, this exceptional home sits on a premium .31 acre lot backing to open space. Tucked away on a quiet court in Northeast Novato, the property offers a peaceful atmosphere, yet it's only a mile from downtown Novato and two blocks to the sweet neighborhood school, Olive Elementary. A dreamy, covered front porch with scenic views offers a comfortable spot to enjoy sunrises and sunsets. Inside, high ceilings, crown molding, and rich hardwood flooring create an elevated yet welcoming aesthetic. A spacious junior suite on the main level offers versatility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private office setup. The heart of the home is a beautifully appointed chef's kitchen featuring a large center island, peninsula seating, walk-in pantry, and brand-new double ovens. Upstairs, there are three additional bedrooms, including an impressive primary retreat with an oversized walk-in closet and a cozy gas fireplace. Energy-efficient features include solar panels, a Tesla Powerwall backup battery, and an EV charger. The private and low-maintenance backyard features succulent gardens; there is also room for expanding the usable space to accommodate perhaps an outdoor kitchen and/or lawn area. Excellent commute location close to Hwys 101/37 and SMART train. Just 5 minutes to walking trails at Deer Island Preserve; 7 minutes to StoneTree Golf Club, and 25 minutes to Sonoma Square.
