8 Racquet Ct

About This Home

Tucked at the end of a quiet three-home court in Novato's Pleasant Valley neighborhood, 8 Racquet Ct offers the kind of space and privacy that rarely comes up for rent in Marin. The two-story home has 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 3,131 square feet of living space on a flat, fully fenced 0.79-acre lot with no HOA. The remodeled kitchen is the heart of the house, with a large island, breakfast area, gas cooktop, double oven, and an open connection to the family room. A sunken living room and formal dining room give you separate space to entertain, and three fireplaces (living room, family room, and primary bedroom) keep it warm in winter. One bedroom and a full bath are on the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite has a sitting area, walk-in closet, double sinks, soaking tub, and separate shower. Outside is where this property stands apart: a heated in-ground pool with cover, a 3,500-gallon koi pond with a cascading waterfall, a large deck for outdoor dining, an established vegetable garden, and a wide level lawn with room to play. Mature landscaping front and back keeps it private without feeling closed in. Practical features include central heat and air conditioning, owned solar panels with battery backup, a newer roof, a dedicated laundry room with washer and dryer included, and an attached 3-car garage with interior access plus driveway parking for four more. Pleasant Valley Elementary, Sinaloa Middle, and San Marin High are all within a mile. Stafford Lake, Indian Valley open space trails, downtown Novato, and Highway 101 are a short drive.
