8 Lawrence Drive

Property Description

Vintage Novato Gem with Endless Potential First time on the market, this +/- 1890 original family home carries more than a century of Novato history. Once part of a sprawling 55 acre ranch, the property now rests on just less than a half an acre, offering a rare blend of heritage, space, and possibility. The two bedroom, one bath home spans near to 1,000 sq ft and is ready for numerous opportunities for a new owner to make it their own. Whether you choose to reimagine the existing home or expand it to incorporate today's modern comforts, the generous lot provides exceptional flexibility. Potential opportunities may include enlarging the home, adding a pool, creating a granny unit, or building an ADU (subject to buyer verification). Tucked away yet incredibly central, this property sits in the heart of the Novato community. Enjoy the convenience of being close to downtown and the many amenities including the SMART train, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Starbucks, restaurants, and more. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Novato's past while shaping this home's next chapter.
