Framed by elevated views and a strong sense of privacy, 1218 Highland Dr offers generous scale, multiple outdoor living spaces, and a flexible 2,671 square foot floor plan, including a bedroom-sized office or nursery adjoining the primary suite. With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, the home is designed to take full advantage of its setting, with expansive views, generous interior proportions, and multiple decks that extend the living experience outdoors. The upper level serves as the main gathering space, where the living room, family room, dining area, and kitchen flow together in an open and comfortable layout. Large windows and glass doors draw in natural light and frame the surrounding views, while the deck off the living and dining areas creates an impressive outdoor extension for relaxing, entertaining, or simply taking in the outlook. The lower level includes all three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with its own private deck and the adjoining office or nursery that adds valuable flexibility. One of the secondary bedrooms also opens to a deck, creating another private connection to the outdoors. Set on a 12,806 square foot lot backing to open space, the property offers scale, privacy, and a beautiful view-oriented setting. The backyard presents future potential for a tiered garden, additional deck space, or expanded outdoor entertaining areas, allowing the next owner to further enhance the property over time. With excellent square footage, a flexible floor plan, multiple outdoor spaces, and a beautiful sense of openness, 1218 Highland Dr offers a compelling opportunity in a desirable Novato setting.
