About This Home
As of July 2020Country feel, close to town - Owned and maintained by the same family for almost fifty years, 40 Brown Drive has a cozy country feeling. Situated at the end of a cul de sac in a small canyon surrounded by hills, the neighborhood is quiet. There are views from every window of mature, well-maintained landscaping with native oak trees. On over 1/3 an acre, the upper section of the property has endless potential for future improvements. Once a fruit orchard, the highlights include raised garden beds, old fashioned roses and meditation areas. Freshly painted inside and out, it features new carpets, a recently updated kitchen with a new induction cook top and a modern feel. The living areas and bedrooms are spacious and both bathrooms have been remodeled over the years. There is parking for two cars electric vehicle charging available. This home offers the best of Novato yet feels like it's in the country.
