About This Home

As of December 2024

Before Novato was incorporated (1960), a neighborhood was developed with streets named after former presidents, a neighborhood that stirs up nostalgia in long-term residents who refer to it as ''The Presidents''. This listing on Buchanan is one of those homes, one which, unlike those that have been completely modernized and embellished by the presence of a swimming pool, is replete with upgrades since its 1958 beginning, but awaits today's kind of refurbishment by a new owner wanting granite or quartz, stainless steel appliances, stylish lighting fixtures, avant- garde tubs and sinks, perhaps to refurbish the hardwood floors beneath the carpeting, and so forth; cosmetic touches, in other words. This 4 bed, 2 bath home sits atop a lot typical of the larger size of the day, very generous by today's standards, located on a street characterized by pride of ownership. In this west-side neighborhood one is only a couple of minutes from freeway access, a few more minutes from Old Town Novato, a short drive from Marin County's inspirational roads through miles and miles of open space. San Francisco is not very far from this home. Neither are the quaint little towns of character of Southern Marin. Come see this lovely home and put your energy into realizing its fullest potential.
