A private Novato home with pool, expansive yard, and room to gather
Set on a spacious, sunny lot in Novato, 20 Archibald offers one-of-a-kind privacy, scale, and a layout designed for both daily living and hosting. Tall palm trees and an expansive front yard create a welcoming first impression, while a long driveway and three car garage provide ample parking for guests. Inside, new wide plank floors run throughout the home, grounding each room in a clean, timeless aesthetic.
Spanning approximately 3,176 square feet, the home is thoughtfully arranged across two levels. The main level features generous living and family rooms, each anchored by their own fireplace. The family room opens through double glass sliding doors to a deck with a seating area, creating an easy transition to outdoor living. The formal dining room includes double doors that lead directly to a second, covered deck and pool area, making entertaining feel seamless and connected to the backyard.
The kitchen is open and functional, centered around marble counters, a Wolf gas cooktop, KitchenAid refrigerator, wine fridge, dishwasher, and a large farmhouse sink. A bar counter with seating for two adds casual dining space, while a walk in pantry keeps everything organized. Upstairs, four bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with views, a private balcony overlooking the pool with views of Mount Tam, walk-in closet, and a large bath with soaking tub, water closet, double vanity, and dual shower heads. The lower level includes an additional bedroom with its own bathroom set slightly apart, creating a private enclave ideal for guests or extended family. Outdoors, the pool, gazebo, and even a custom tree house create a setting that feels both relaxed and perfect for creating memories. The grounds continue with plenty of yard space for gardening, animals, or extending the backyard for entertaining.
