Tucked away in a storybook setting beside a meandering creek, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath gem is the perfect blend of cozy charm and modern sparkle. Step inside and be greeted by an airy open floor plan, sun-soaked rooms, and gorgeous wide-plank flooring that makes everything feel just a bit more magical. Whip up something wonderful in the updated kitchen, complete with stylish finishes and room to gather. The fireplace adds just the right touch of hygge, while central A/C keeps things cool when the sunshine rolls in. Need to work from home? There's a bright, separate office ready for serious productivity, or serious Instagram scrolling (no judgment here!). When it's time to unwind, head out back to your private backyard paradise, lush, luxurious, and perfect for BBQs, star-gazing, or simply doing absolutely nothing. Don't miss the secret loft space, a dreamy hideaway for reading, playtime, or your inner artist. You'll love the updated bathrooms, the in-unit laundry, and the attached garage for all your gear and gadgets. Located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with top-rated schools, this home is a true feel-good find. Best of all, you're just a stone's throw from historic Downtown Novato. Come see this creekside charmer, it's love at first sight!
