A private sanctuary tucked beneath the trees in sought-after Partridge Knolls
Set in the heart of Novato’s desirable Partridge Knolls neighborhood, 1263 Simmons Lane is more than just a home—it’s a retreat. Tucked behind a lush front garden filled with tropical plants and flowering trees, this lovingly maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence spans ~2,385 square feet of updated living space designed for comfort, style, and connection to nature.
Step inside to a warm and inviting interior where recently refinished solid oak flooring guides you through the lower level. The heart of the home—an open kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a casual breakfast nook—flows seamlessly to the family room, where a limestone fireplace and custom built-ins create the perfect gathering spot. Sliding doors lead you outside to your private backyard sanctuary, where a majestic vintage oak tree offers shade over a lawn, patio, and raised garden beds—ideal for dining alfresco, weekend barbecues, or simply soaking in the serenity of the space.
Thoughtfully updated over the years, this home balances modern amenities with timeless charm. The spacious primary suite, set apart from the other bedrooms, includes a spa-like bath, large walk-in closet with a custom Elfa system, and treetop views. With three additional bedrooms, living room, family room, and a newly finished 3-car garage, there’s plenty of room for family, guests, or flexible work-from-home living.
