About This Home

As of September 2022

Located in popular Lanham Village, this charming single-story condo is a desirable end-unit with no-one above, providing serenity and privacy. The combination living/dining area flows seamlessly to the light and spacious kitchen, where there are granite counters and a garden box window ideal for growing herbs. Solid wood floors throughout the home create a harmonious flow. The bathroom features a tub/shower combo, and updated vanity with Carrera marble counter. The generously sized yard is partially shaded by mature trees, creating a private Zen-like setting and enviable indoor/outdoor living. The laundry is a short distance away - other units have added washer/dryer in unit. Nearby is a central grassy park with a playground and community room. Conveniently located in S. Novato with easy freeway access and close to the Smart Train station. Extensive amenities can be found locally at Hamilton Marketplace, including Peet's Coffee, a grocery store, bank and restaurants.
