18 Lauren Avenue

Set at the end of a quiet Novato street, 18 Lauren Ave is a sun-drenched 1951 cottage that has been thoughtfully refreshed while preserving the simplicity and warmth that makes this 3 bedroom home so appealing. Inside, hardwood floors and soft natural light move through an uncomplicated floor plan, connecting the living room, dining area and kitchen with an effortless flow. The remodeled kitchen feels both collected and current, with butcher block counters, an apron-front farmhouse sink, unlacquered brass hardware and faucet, new tile flooring and a smart refrigerator. In the living room, a microcement gas fireplace adds a quiet architectural moment and a modern counterpoint to the home's cottage character. Three bedrooms offer flexibility within the home's efficient footprint, with the rear bedroom opening directly to a generous deck overlooking the expansive lawn. Beyond, the property backs to undeveloped land, lending the backyard a sense of openness and privacy that feels unexpected for such a central Novato location. Set on nearly a quarter acre, the grounds are one of the home's defining featuresroom to garden, gather, play and imagine what might come next, including potential for an ADU or other future improvements, subject to applicable approvals. Refreshed throughout, 18 Lauren Avenue is less about excess and more about the things that make a home feel good: warm materials, abundant sunlight, an easy connection outdoors and a little more breathing room than you might expectall tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of Novato.
