California dreaming is an everyday reality in this luxurious Sausalito beachfront home.
A rarity in Marin, this 2018-remodeled and upgraded contemporary 3,500 sqft, 2+ bedroom, 2½-bath home with modern conveniences and 60 feet of beachfront promises toes-in-the-sand, vacation-like living with year-round jaw-dropping bay views.
A quick turn off the Golden Gate Bridge in desirable Sausalito, this hidden gem offers street-level access via the parking garage with Tesla charger. Step into the private entry room with an elegant, white wood-paneled elevator and adjacent convenient storage space, previously used as an office, for effortless access to this impeccably updated contemporary home.
Upon entering, you’re immediately transported to exceptional beachfront living, complete with floor to ceiling windows throughout, multiple decks and patios, and unobstructed world-class views stretching from Belvedere to Angel Island to the Bay Bridge and Alcatraz.
Main Living Level
Awash in natural light, architectural interest, and high-tech conveniences, the main floor’s modern open floor-plan, with vaulted skylights and captivating bay views, includes a dream chef’s kitchen with seating for 8 at a centerpiece marble dining island and spacious living and dining areas. Open the sliders to enjoy the soothing sounds of waves lapping on the shore to your table, or take the party outside onto one of two view decks or onto the beach itself.
Bedroom Level
The bedroom level features two sizable en suite rooms with full height windows, delivering the same front-row views of sea birds, seals and sea lions, fireworks, the lighted annual boat parade and more available from every level. Leave the windows open at night in the expansive primary suite, which includes a meditative atrium glassed-in seating area, to be lulled to sleep by the sounds of gentle waves. A spacious office with ample built-in storage can easily be used as a guest or third bedroom.
Beach Level
The indoor beach level is currently a large open-plan entertainment area, accented by soaring ceilings, stunning architectural glass and framing, accommodating spaces ideal for ping pong, pool tournaments, a big-screen TV lounge, a workout/yoga haven, or any number of options.
This level includes an indoor pool that is currently empty and covered with custom decking to maximize space and use. You have the option of easily converting part of this area back into a swimmable saltwater pool with an existing grand two-story wall fountain designed to cascade into the pool.
Open any of the 4 full-height windowed sliders to step onto the main patio with a built-in natural-gas fire pit, seating, and instant beach access.
Beachfront doesn’t get any better than this! Kayak, paddleboard, swim, stroll the beach, and more, all from your doorstep. You even have the rare opportunity to kayak to lunch or dinner in town; it’s a short paddle to Salito’s, The Joinery, or Bar Bocce, or you can tie up and leisurely stroll to any venue in town. With all-day sun and built-in irrigation, there’s ample gardening opportunity on the outdoor patio, in the adjacent small corner garden with citrus trees and a natural bougainvillea fence, and beyond.
Throughout this special property, modern conveniences, ranging from art lighting to Sonos-controlled speakers and more, set the tone for A-plus living.
Moments from San Francisco via the Golden Gate Bridge and close to downtown Sausalito and the commuter ferry, you’ll feel worlds away while catching the sunrise across glass-like water or toasting the day’s end around the fire pit as the twilight glistens across the bay. If you’re looking for blissful beach living central to all that the Bay Area has to offer, this modern luxury home is it!
