Bay View Hideaway

3 Lower Crescent Ave, Sausalito, CA 94965
$1,900,000

There’s an easy, unstudied quality to this Sausalito home—the kind of place that feels immediately comfortable, as though it has evolved naturally over time. Warm, bright and quietly stylish, the three-bedroom, two-bath home pairs a relaxed coastal sensibility with an effortless connection to the outdoors.


The open living spaces are framed by walls of glass, drawing in sunlight and views across the Bay. Doors open to a front deck suspended above the landscape—a natural extension of the house for morning coffee, an afternoon in the sun or watching the light change across the water.


Out back, the experience becomes more private and playful. A deck steps down to a patio and level lawn, with a bocce court tucked into the fully fenced grounds. It’s an unexpectedly generous outdoor setting for Sausalito—secluded, casual and made for long afternoons with friends.


Inside, original character and simple materials give the home its warmth. Wood floors, clean lines and abundant glass create rooms that feel timeless rather than overly designed, while three bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, work or everyday life.


At just under 1,500 square feet, the house lives with an ease that belies its size. Part coastal cottage, part modern surf shack, it captures something increasingly hard to find in Sausalito: Bay views, sunshine, privacy and a genuine sense of escape, all in one remarkably livable home.


Adjacent to the Sasualito Ferry, the Golden Gate Bridge and Public Transportation this hideaway offers convenient access to San Francisco and the Marin Headlands.

Neighborhood

Sausalito offers some of the best views of San Francisco that Marin County has to offer. Stroll along the bayfront promenade on a weekend, and you'll hear the languages of visitors who come to Sausalito from all over the world. Tourists come for the Sausalito Art Festival, its hidden walks, its funky houseboat colonies, its seafood, and unforgettable views.


Sausalito’s Bridgeway is home to pleasant Dunphy Park, while the local library and Studio 333, a warehouse-sized art gallery, are a few blocks away. Food runs the gamut from Sushi Ran to Smitty's Bar -- where the bartender knows your name and the kitchen serves up a delicious cheeseburger and fries. Increasingly, Sausalito is home to new media and green-tech entrepreneurs who have traded in the Silicon Valley commute for a walk to headquarters along the Waterfront and Marinship District. Located just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito boasts quick access to San Francisco by car, bus, ferry, or bike.
