Available for the first time in 20 years, this gorgeous bay view retreat is just minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. Reimagined in the 1990s by an international developer for himself, it has since been updated and beautifully maintained by its current owners. The result is a residence born of a vision, built with craft and care, and designed as a stunning space for living, dining and entertaining. Boasting 4715 +/- square feet, it is one of the largest residential offerings in Sausalito. Walk-out view terraces of 940 +/- square feet provide seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The home was constructed to capture the best of its Sausalito hilltop location: sweeping bay views, abundant natural light, and the privacy afforded by a vast, tree-lined lot. The breathtaking, double-height great room has a limestone fireplace and spectacular vistas framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. At the rear of the room is an alcove, ideal as a music or sitting room, and a bonus room now used as a gym. Glass sliders open the living space to a deck that overlooks Richardson Bay, Sausalito Harbor, Tiburon, Belvedere and the hills of Napa Valley. The open kitchen features professional-grade appliances, a large island, and an adjacent dining area. Updates include new 3” white granite countertops, sink and faucet. The solarium offers magnificent views and comfy seating. Also on the upper level is a spacious media room/library with surround sound and custom cabinetry. Altogether, the great room, media room, kitchen, solarium and adjacent decks can easily accommodate 100 guests for entertaining.
Attention to detail is evident throughout. The generous primary bedroom suite has cinema-quality surround sound, motorized shades and two walk-in closets fitted with custom wood cabinetry. An attached terrace offers dreamy water views. The serene bathroom has the iconic Kohler Abrizo Egg tub; double-sink vanity with Thassos countertops; Ann Sacks marble tile flooring; radiant heating; and a spa-size shower outfitted with a professional-grade steam system, three shower heads and Thassos bench.
All five bedrooms have hardwood floors and ample closet space. Four offer dramatic bay views. Three of the five baths are recently renovated with Grohe and Hansgrohe showers and Toto and Kohler toilets and sinks.
On the home’s lower level is a big family room with a fireplace and a kitchenette with wine refrigerator, dishwasher and cooktop. A temperature-controlled, walk-in wine cellar has arched double doors and space for 1,000 bottles. The cherrywood mantel, wainscotting and cabinetry are custom-built. The room features double sliding glass doors for spectacular water views and access to a large lower deck with seating for a party, and a hot tub with room for six.
Rare for Sausalito, the home has a fully fenced, Heavenly Greens flat lawn. The large lot extends well past the fence, offering the potential for possible expansion.
Additional features include two laundry areas; just-refinished hardwood floors; recessed lighting; windows and sliding doors by Anderson; new water heater; and two new furnaces with WIFI-enabled Ecobee thermostats. The great room, media room and family room have built-in surround sound speakers for an incredible audio experience. The two-car garage with EV charger has a wide driveway for additional parking.
This luxury home’s convenient location offers privacy for relaxed family living and entertaining, direct access to the Marin Headlands for hiking and biking, and an easy commute to San Francisco or the Peninsula.
