Swing lazily under the maple tree, kick/dribble/toss the ball around, BBQ or enjoy a cozy evening around the fire pit. Front has been leveled and set with decomposed granite and seating area is tucked quietly from the street behind taller plantings. Spacious two-car garage has EV charger, workbench, and tons of storage, including overhead attic. Extra wide side yard provides additional uncovered parking space to the right of the garage. The property is close to reputable Novato schools, countless open space trails, Rolling Hills Bay Club, and conveniently just blocks to shopping center with popular Trailhead and Harvest Market, and less than five minutes to 101.
