Set at the end of a little-known lane shared by only two homes, this 5BD + office southern Novato residence offers a premium 9,000 sq ft level lot, which is one of the largest and most desirable in the upscale South Gate neighborhood, and unlike any other in Hamilton. The property offers you all of the benefits of living in a thriving bayside community with endless amenities, but without sacrificing privacy. The main level features a dedicated office at the front of the house, plus a bedroom and full bathroom near the garage entrance, perfect for guests or multigenerational living. The generous kitchen and family room are connected and flow seamlessly to the expansive backyard. The kitchen is equipped with KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, a full-size pantry closet, a center workspace island, and a seating peninsula. Upstairs, the primary suite (900+ sq feet per the floor plan!) provides a true retreat with a spacious lounge area/2nd family room, and a beautifully remodeled bathroom featuring quartzite countertops, a freestanding soaking tub, and an elevated spa-inspired feel. Three more bedrooms and an updated bathroom round out the upstairs, plus a fun space perfect as a play area or extra storage. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The oversized backyard offers privacy thanks to mature natural screening, along with a lawn and stamped concrete patio for entertaining, plus a side yard with 220-electrical in place for a future spa. Down the street, enjoy Hamilton's parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, community center, art gallery, restaurants, SMART train station, and miles of scenic trails along the San Francisco Bay. Homes offering this combination of a premium lot, versatile floor plan, and exceptional location are seldom available.
