This 2 acre 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom Tudor estate in Novato sits on a private cul de sac and features high ceilings, a formal dining room, a fireplace, an exterior solarium, and sprawling lawns. Agent Lisa Garaventa of Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty teamed up with project director Louise Valeur to bring out the beautiful charm and details of this home before unveiling it to eager buyers. Under Louise’s direction, some of the major upgrades included major design and function upgrades in the kitchen, new lighting fixtures throughout the home, and fresh landscaping around the property. Once this project wrapped up, the property sold for $2,700,000, netting the sellers a $106,999 profit and a 115% return on their investment!
