No neighbors overhead, generous natural light, and a private balcony with treetop and hillside views. The open living and dining area flows out to the balcony, and both bedrooms offer good closet space and quiet separation. Community amenities include elevator access, a sparkling pool, gated garage parking with assigned space, a separate storage closet, and on-site laundry plus 3rd floor laundry. HOA dues include water and trash. Just off S. Novato Blvd near Tresch Plaza and Nave Shopping Center, minutes to Highway 101, the SMART train, and downtown Grant Avenue, with Mt. Burdell, Indian Valley, and Stafford Lake trails close by. One of Marin's most attainable entry points and a strong investment option, as owner-occupancy is not currently required.
