Single-Level Living with Seasonal Water Views in Novato
On a corner lot of about 5,700 square feet in Novato, 561 Louis Drive is a single-level home from 1952 with seasonal water views from the living room, kitchen, primary bedroom and yard. It lives as a three-bedroom, one-bath home across 1,586 square feet, counting a detached cottage that serves as the third bedroom or a flexible studio.
Inside, the kitchen and bath have both been remodeled, and fresh paint and new carpet make the rooms feel crisp and bright. A brick fireplace gives the living room a natural focal point, and the single-story plan keeps everything on one easy level, with natural light throughout. The layout is simple and well proportioned, the kind of plan that adapts easily to a new owner's furniture and style.
The detached cottage is the flexible piece: a third bedroom, a home office, a gym or an art studio, set apart from the main house for quiet and privacy. Out back, a terrace extends the living space outdoors for morning coffee or dinner on a warm evening, while a generous driveway provides plenty of parking and extra storage.
The location keeps Novato's everyday conveniences close. Highway 101 is minutes away for trips south to San Francisco or north into Sonoma County, downtown Novato's Grant Avenue is a short drive for coffee, dinner and the summer farmers market, and the SMART train runs from the downtown station. For time outside, the oak-covered trails of Mt. Burdell Open Space and the paths around Stafford Lake Park are within easy reach.
