Views of Sausalito’s Skyline, Waterfront & The Bay: Modern Meets Mid-Century Charm
Near downtown Sausalito is a newly updated mid-century haven. Awash in natural light, astounding vistas of the Sausalito Waterfront and the San Francisco Bay, this spectacular retreat is just up from restaurants and shopping, the Golden Gate Bridge, and mere minutes to San Francisco.
The two-level mid-century-style condo is nestled into peaceful, green surroundings from the front. And once you step inside from the level entry two-car carport into the spacious, open-concept living and dining area, the view changes to a breathtaking, expansive, unobstructed Portofino-like birdseye vistas of the Sausalito waterfront and the Bay.
Framed by giant picture windows and sliding doors, the centerpiece views extend from the dining room to the living room, both of which are appointed with new luxury vinyl plank wood floors and high ceilings accented by gorgeous whitewashed wood. Running the length of the open floorplan is a private deck that allows for further immersion in the heavenly surroundings to enjoy morning coffee, BBQ and entertainment, or afternoon cocktails and the warm glow of sunsets. The living room fireplace enables a wonderful ambiance and cozy relaxation.
Off the dining area, the sweet kitchen appointed with new quartz countertops and new stainless steel appliances nods to mid-century charm with newly added brass cabinetry hardware and a globe ceiling light, also echoed in the freshly updated half-bath featuring all new fixtures, vanity, mirror, and sleek and elegant, trapezoid-patterned deep Midnight Tide and white porcelain mosaic tile floors.
Follow the newly carpeted staircase with decorative wrought-iron railing downstairs to the inviting lower level. This plushly carpeted level carries the mid-century brown bottle-glass window next to the front door down to the lower landing and its two bedrooms with equally captivating views.
The main bedroom highlights the property’s amazing location with natural light via giant picture windows and sliding glass doors leading to another expansive private balcony with trademark views. Its spacious closet spans the room’s length and features mirrored sliding doors. The second bedroom is equally welcoming, with picture-window views and a walk-in closet. The full bath boasts attractive, period-appropriate updates, including beautiful brass fixtures for the new under-mount double sinks, new vanity with an engineered stone countertop, new floor tiling to match the upstairs, and new bath/shower door. In the hallway, you’ll find a handy linen closet and another separate laundry closet with a brand-new stacked Samsung washer and dryer featuring super speed/steam and moisture sensors.
Throughout the property are thoughtful updates, from designer door handles, in- and outdoor light fixtures, blinds, mirrors, and kitchen and bathroom hardware to electrical, including a new electric panel, ground wires for all outlets, and light switches.
Note that there is room under the home to add another floor which could expand the home nicely to a 4 bed, 2.5 bath or more!
The property is steps from endless hiking trails, and mere minutes to San Francisco by car, bike, bus, or ferry for an easy SF commute.
Sausalito is centrally situated to afford all that the Bay Area, Napa & Sonoma Valleys, and beyond has to offer.
