Located in the highly desirable Pleasant Valley enclave, this recently renovated and updated meticulous 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home is perfectly presented, showcasing chic contemporary style softened by traditional touches for a truly special offering. From the captivating curb appeal to the sensational backyard, every part of this property is impressive.  The striking white and black façade, accented with sturdy white and natural brick, announces the tastefully classic interior that awaits.  Enter into the formal foyer that introduces the balanced blend of traditional and modern design for a transitional aesthetic that is the hallmark of this home. Matte black metal and wood millwork, distinctive light fixtures, wide plank hardwood engineered floors, and organic hues are all complemented by minimalist architectural lines and a crisp white palette.  The spacious open floor plan features seamlessly connected social spaces for an effortless flow that enhances the connectivity of family and friends. The living room has a wide front window that frames the tree-lined street, a unique inset ceiling, and a wood-burning fireplace, creating a cozy ambience for socializing.  The adjacent dining room is ideally situated between the living room and kitchen, opening directly to the yard to easily extend entertaining outdoors. The ceiling is punctuated by a fabulous chandelier with on-trend Edison light bulbs. The unimpeded flow extends to the family room with a centerpiece brick fireplace that visually anchors the space. Sliding glass doors highlight the verdant backyard and the scenic hillsides beyond and open out to the pergola covered deck that lives like an extension of the interior spaces. The magazine-worthy kitchen dazzles with its abundant sleek cabinetry, marble-inspired quartz counters, Bertazonni range, white hexagonal tile back splash, sizable center island  with seating for six, and angled wall of windows that show off the sensational resort-like backyard. Oversized sliding glass doors open wide to blur the separation of the indoor/outdoor environments for an enviable setting to entertain and relax.  A smartly located laundry area with a stainless washer and dryer tucked in to the hallway leads to the exceptionally modern powder room awash in white, completing the main level.

Ascend the light-filled stairway to the upper floor which boasts three bedrooms, including the primary en suite, all providing peaceful sanctuaries illuminated with natural light, evoking a sense of calm and restfulness. The considerable primary has a large walk-in closet, a sculptural polished wood ceiling fan to cool warm temperatures, and a window with tranquil outlooks. The sensational primary bath is a soothing oasis offering a double vessel sink vanity atop warm wood cabinetry, distinctive oval mirrors lit by brushed nickel dual lighting, soft grey tile walls, a wet area with a stunning free-standing soaking tub, an opaque glass/wood divider that obscures the lavatory, walk-in curb-less shower, and floor tile with a pattern play of hexagons and squares. A window over the tub captures the verdant scenery and brightens the room along with the skylight. The full upper level bath echoes similar design elements as the primary bath and has a shower over tub and a pop of ornamentation from the floor tiles.

This home’s exceptional resort-like yard features a shimmering salt water pool with a separate integrated hot tub outlined in flagstone and surrounded by an aggregate stone patio, ideal for sun-bathing. A unique set of overlaid wood platforms create cleverly arranged steps that lead to the pool area from the expansive patio at the back of the house. Turfed lawn areas and a charming cabana with a storage shed add to its already incredible appeal. A medley of flourishing plantings and mature trees presents a lovely green tapestry that envelopes and enriches the hardscape. The sizable side yard can accommodate an array of outdoor activities and playful pursuits including a terrific trampoline! Dine al-fresco, sip cocktails under the stars, and revel in endless hours of outdoor enjoyment throughout the year in the temperate Novato micro-climate.

This exceedingly tasteful every day getaway residence presents a flawless combination of comfort, sophistication, design excellence, discernable quality, outstanding outdoor space, and a relaxed yet refined modern Marin living experience.
