Rarely does an opportunity this significant hit the Novato market. Situated on a sprawling 0.42-acre corner lot, 2001 Leese Ln is a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom canvas waiting for a visionary touch. With 2,150 square feet of living space, this property offers the scale and bones necessary to create a custom showpiece in a premier location. The interior is anchored by a dramatic sunken living room featuring vaulted ceilings and a central fireplace, providing a sense of volume and architectural interest that is hard to find.
