Welcome to one of Pleasant Valley’s most distinguished estates, where timeless craftsmanship, modern comfort, and a refined indoor-outdoor lifestyle converge on a serene 1.9± acre park-like parcel.
THE MAIN RESIDENCE
Reimagined from the ground up in 1997, the 3,600± sq ft custom residence offers a rare blend of architectural character and everyday livability, with 3 bedrooms, a dedicated office, a lofted tower room, and 3 baths. Soaring vaulted ceilings create a sense of volume and light throughout, while curated details, including 1890s stained glass, alabaster fixtures, and antique hardware, lend the home an unmistakable sense of history, artistry, and soul.
A gracious formal living room welcomes guests with a wood-burning fireplace and remote-controlled dormer windows, setting the tone for the home’s elevated yet inviting ambiance. The gourmet kitchen is beautifully appointed with custom oak cabinetry, granite countertops, an apron-front sink, double ovens, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and a two-drawer dishwasher. Designed for gathering, it opens effortlessly to the family room, where a brick fireplace and direct access to the grounds create a warm connection between interior comfort and outdoor living.
The private primary suite is a tranquil retreat, complete with its own wood-burning fireplace, patio access, and a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, separate shower, bidet, and dual vanities. Two additional bedrooms share a thoughtfully designed Jack-and-Jill bath, while a tucked-away office and lofted tower room offer flexible spaces for work, creativity, or quiet escape.
GUEST HOUSE
A fully appointed 1,000± sq ft guest house adds exceptional versatility, featuring vaulted ceilings, a spacious great room with gas fireplace, full kitchen, generous bedroom and bath, and an attached one-car garage, ideal for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living.
OUTDOOR LIVING & AMENITIES
Outdoors, the property unfolds like a private resort. Expansive patios, a pergola, and inviting al fresco dining areas frame the pool and spa, all surrounded by lush, fragrant gardens. Heritage oaks, roses, lavender, olive trees, and a prolific lemon tree create color, texture, and seasonal beauty year-round.
Thoughtfully equipped for modern living, the estate includes owned solar, a Tesla charger, whole-home generator, hardwired internet, and whole-home surround sound. With potential subdivision opportunities and a coveted location just minutes from top Marin County schools and downtown Novato, this is a rare offering that captures the essence of elevated California living.
