22 Filbert Ave, Sausalito, CA 94965

Nestled on a gentle hillside in Sausalito, this circa-1909 3BD/2BA home offers unrestricted southeast-facing views of the San Francisco Bay, Tiburon, and Angel Island. Reimagined in 2002 by local Sausalito architect Barbara Brown, the home seamlessly blends historic character with Japanese-inspired aesthetics, clean lines, natural materials, and a timeless sensibility that feels both grounded and contemporary. A custom cedar gate and ipe walkway over a traditional koi pond offer a serene arrival. Inside, warm bamboo floors, custom cabinetry, and thoughtfully curated wall spaces for art set the tone. The culinary kitchen features slab granite countertops, a stainless steel island, gas and electric ovens, and a cozy built-in bench - all with water views from every angle. The living and dining areas flow generously around a Danish Scan wood-burning fireplace, with Marvin sliding doors opening to a wraparound bluestone deck where the Bay, Tiburon, and Angel Island unfold before you. Downstairs, a custom handrail leads to the primary suite, a private bluestone patio, large maple tree, custom glass tile walk-in shower, terrazzo finishes, and an open adjoining library retreat, originally a second bedroom. A third bedroom filled with garden light, a luxurious guest bath with Dornbracht fixtures and soaking tub, and a handcrafted garden of mature camellias, rhododendrons, and ferns all framed by artisan bluestone walls complete the picture. A custom teahouse nestled on the grounds adds one final, singular touch. Just 100 feet away, through one of Sausalito's many charming stairways, the city's best awaits: Driver's Market, Sushi Ran, Equator Coffee, Dunphy Park, and live music at the legendary Sausalito Cruising Club. Sail, kayak, or catch the ferry to San Francisco. Sausalito living at its very best.
