Turn-key home in one of the best locations in one of the best neighborhoods in Hamilton Field, Novato. Tucked away at the rear of South Gate, 170 Emerson Avenue is an impressive, Mediterranean style home that exudes warmth combined with all of the modern conveniences. In addition, the home is in a very low traffic area (kids can ride bicycles to the park, etc.) and the entire surrounding neighborhood is in the flats. Finally, this home offers tranquility and water views from the primary suite as it backs up to the Bay Trail and wetlands beyond. This is truly a rare and special combination.

Upon entering, you will be struck by the wood floors, plantation shutters and the generous scale and light of the formal entry and living room / dining room (with art nooks). To the right is a spacious office (could be used as a bedroom - there is a space for a closet). The Kitchen is a chef’s dream with ample countertop space, gorgeous cabinetry featuring glass doors, a workstation below two large windows, a breakfast area and open floor plan into the great room / family room. Also downstairs is an elegant powder room, laundry room and large, 3-car garage. 

Upstairs you will find a spacious primary suite with a seating area, wood floors, and views across the wetlands. The large primary bath features a dual vanities, soaking tub, step-in shower and extraordinary closet space. Also upstairs, you will find a large loft / media room, 2 bedrooms and another full bath. In addition, there is an added storage space upstairs off one of the bedrooms that many call the “Harry Potter” room -- if finished out, it can be a fun place for play.

The serene backyard faces south and is very low maintenance with a large deck, decorative plantings on automated irrigation and a hot tub. The yard is quiet and peaceful and features a gas line for a BBQ. 

Other highlights:

• Air conditioning
• Solar panels (Owned)
• Ceiling fan in primary suite
