Magical Sausalito Property
Set amidst a row of stately homes in Sausalito’s coveted “Banana Belt,” this lovely six-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath residence is the quintessential Marin home. An elegant turn-of-the-century Grand Dame situated on a south facing lot, it provides approx. 4,155-square feet of sunlit space and sweeping views of San Francisco, Angel Island, and the Bay.
The tri-level California Craftsman style home features gleaming hardwood floors, period detail, exquisite millwork, custom built-ins and fabulous entertaining spaces.
Across the threshold, guests are welcomed by a formal foyer that leads into a large living room with window seating, built-in shelving and a cozy fireplace area. On the opposite side of the foyer lies a spacious family room with window seating, a beamed ceiling, tiled fireplace and French doors that open outward to a sunny deck and solar-heated pool. Perfect for entertaining and indoor/outdoor living!
The first floor also includes a bright sunroom that looks out onto the Bay, a spacious dining room with marble fireplace and built-in china cabinets, and a formal butler’s pantry with marble countertops and glass-front/interior lit cabinetry. The remodeled kitchen is finished with marble countertops and stainless-steel appliances, and includes a washer/dryer closet. The eat-in kitchen looks out onto the landscaped deck/pool area, which includes a charming waterfall and pond feature. The main floor also includes a small private study and a powder room.
Ascending the stairs, the second-floor landing offers original Craftsman storage cabinets and leads to four generous bedrooms and two baths. The master suite affords the ultimate sanctuary, outfitted with an en-suite bath and an awning-covered balcony perfect for Sunday morning coffee and crosswords.
The third floor, which has two bedrooms and a full bath, is well-equipped for visiting in-laws, an au pair, or use as a home office. The large front room offers a stunning Bay view of Angel Island, Alcatraz and the City.
The front yard is a lush haven of mature trees, fragrant flowers and meandering pathways. A large lower level basement offers extra storage. The property also provides ample off-street parking for guests with an attached two-car garage plus parking pad and long driveway.
A private location with endless views and optimal weather, this sweet abode is minutes from downtown Sausalito’s waterfront eateries and City-bound thoroughfares.
Thoughtfully reimagined to meld period touches and modern-day conveniences, this picture-perfect home is your chance to own a piece of Sausalito’s storied history.
