Mediterranean Romance Above the Bay | A Sun-Drenched Banana Belt Jewel Box. Discover timeless elegance in the heart of Sausalito's coveted Banana Belt, celebrated for its sunny, sheltered microclimate. This enchanting 1929 Mediterranean residence, lovingly maintained for 43 years, blends authentic architectural character with modern coastal comfort and breathtaking panoramic views. Situated on a southeast-facing, approximately 5,022 sq. ft. lot, the home captures spectacular vistas of the San Francisco skyline, Bay Bridge, Angel Island, and Richardson's Bay. Underground utilities preserve the beauty of these unobstructed views. An inviting arched entry introduces classic Spanish details, including red clay tile accents, vintage wrought iron, and graceful architectural curves. The expansive living room features a wood-burning fireplace, abundant natural light, and seamless access to viewing terraces and the formal dining room perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The sunlit eat-in kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring a distinctive cast-iron AGA range and oven, generous center island, custom cabinetry, water filtration system, and charming breakfast nook overlooking the private patio and gardens. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with romantic windows, refreshing bay breezes, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a steam/sauna enclosure and soaking tub. A private lower-level en-suite bedroom with outdoor access provides ideal accommodations for guests or a home office. A convenient powder room completes the main level. Outside, a Mediterranean-inspired sanctuary awaits with tiered flagstone terraces, elevated viewing decks, meandering pathways, mature fruit trees, palms, and colorful gardens, maintained by a 7-zone smart irrigation system. Thoughtful modern upgrades include a new roof (January 2026), solar panels (2023), a detached one-car garage, and approximately 580 sq. ft. of lower-level storage/flex space. A rare Sausalito treasure where historic charm, captivating views, and modern sustainability come together in one extraordinary setting.
