Perfectly perched on a quiet hillside cul-de-sac in Indian Valley, this spacious home enjoys a rare sense of privacy while capturing expansive views across surrounding horse pastures, Mount Burdell, and the open-space ridgelines stretching toward West Marin. Built in 1998 & meticulously remodeled over the past three years, the 5,133 +/- square-foot residence offers 5 bedrooms & 4.5 baths across three living levels, including a private garden-level au pair apartment with its own entrance. Thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, the home presents in exceptional condition throughout. Extensive updates include wide-plank French oak flooring, renovated kitchen & bathrooms with new quartz counters, new carpeting and redesigned laundry room. A dramatic grand foyer with soaring 19-foot ceilings and a sweeping staircase anchors the home. The formal living room offers expansive views through windows on three sides and opens to a wraparound slate-tiled deck. A formal dining room features French oak flooring, tray ceiling with crown molding, and lantern-style chandelier. The chef's kitchen includes quartz countertops, a large center island, and GE Monogram & Bosch appliances, with a breakfast nook opening to a covered slate patio. A spacious family room with built-ins, gas fireplace, and tray ceiling completes the main level. Upstairs, 4 bedrooms include a Jack-and-Jill bath, a generous guest suite, and an expansive primary suite with wood-burning fireplace, California Closets built-ins, soaking tub, frameless glass shower, and dual sinks. The garden-level apartment offers its own entrance, living room with sliding glass doors to a private patio, separate bed/bath, and kitchenette. An oversized 3-car garage completes the lower level. The main living level opens to two distinct outdoor spaces - a wraparound slate tile deck off the living room with sweeping views, and a large, covered patio off the kitchen ideal for outdoor dining. From the patio, stairs descend to a level yard with a solar-heated pool and hot tub. A frameless glass screen preserves unobstructed views of the open hills & beyond, while pergolas provide shade & a grassy lawn offers space to relax and play. Other highlights include a firepit, 360-degree Ring security system, Nest thermostat and dual Lennox HVAC systems. Set in Novato's Indian Valley known for scenic hills, large lots, and mature oak trees the home sits near open space and hiking trails, yet minutes from downtown Novato & Highway 101.
