The story
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac and set on over an acre of land, 70 Corte Arriba offers a wonderful sense of space, privacy, and easygoing indoor-outdoor living. Mature landscaping and established gardens surround the home, creating a lush, private setting from the moment you arrive. A charming brick walkway leads to the front door and out back a large, level yard provides an exceptional amount of usable outdoor space and a peaceful backdrop to the home. Inside, the main level feels warm and comfortable, with natural light throughout. The family room is centered around a wood-burning fireplace and oversized picture windows, while the kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a five-burner cooktop, double ovens, and convenient access to the laundry area. The dining space opens out to a large back deck, making it easy to move from dinner inside to long evenings outdoors. A sunny front bedroom with a built-in desk offers flexibility as a guest room, office, or study, while an additional workspace or walk-in pantry adds useful storage just off the main living areas. The main-level primary suite is bright and private, with double French doors opening directly to the back deck, an ensuite bath, and a walk-in closet with built-ins. Upstairs, a second family room or loft creates another light-filled place to gather, with vaulted ceilings, a second wood-burning fireplace, abundant windows, and built-in storage. An additional upstairs suite includes its own walk-in closet, bath, and private deck overlooking the backyard. The home's setting really comes to life outdoors. The expansive, level yard is framed by mature landscaping and citrus trees, with plenty of room for gardening, entertaining, play, or simply enjoying the space. A crushed-stone path winds through the grounds, and the property backs to open space, adding to the sense of privacy and connection to the surrounding landscape. Set in southern Novato, the home is near Loma Verde Elementary, neighborhood shopping, and everyday essentials, with Loma Verde Preserve and its network of open-space trails nearby. Marin Country Club is also a short drive away, while Highway 101 provides extremely convenient access south toward central Marin and San Francisco or north to downtown Novato and Wine Country. The combination of a flexible floor plan, expansive outdoor space, and peaceful setting gives 70 Corte Arriba plenty of room to settle in, spread out, and make the most of life at home.
