Serene garden apartment in the Sausalito hills
This serene one-bedroom apartment with private entry is situated at the end of a long, tree lined driveway on a large, 2/3 acre property nestled into the Sausalito hills. It occupies the lower floor of a private home whose upper floor is occupied by owner. Recently renovated and fully furnished, it looks out on greenery and large established trees, with views of the bay and Mt. Tamalpais. The unit embodies privacy and quiet, yet is walking distance to public transportation and downtown Sausalito: 1 mile to the ferry service, and just a few blocks to bus lines, the Caledonia Street shops and downtown Sausalito restaurants and shops. It is also minutes from various hiking trails in the area: Marin Headlands, Tennessee Valley, Muir Woods.
The location is also optimal for travel to desirable destinations both north and south: 2 minutes to the Spencer Ave/MonteMar Drive entrance to highway 101, 5 minutes to the Golden Gate Bridge, 20 minutes to most of San Francisco’s main attractions, and 40 minutes to the Sonoma/Napa wine country.
There is one large bedroom suitable for a couple or a single individual (one queen bed only, no other sleeping accommodations), as well as a large living room, with a kitchenette and bathroom (shower only, no tub) between the two. There is also ample outdoor space to relax in.
BEDROOM: Wake up to a view of greenery, plants, established heritage trees, and filtered views of SF Bay from the queen size bed. A dresser with pullout desk shelf and various small tables and chests are available to hold and organize your belongings, with a chaise longue for reading and relaxing. A small closet with shelves and full-length mirror contains a hotel-type safe for your valuables, as well as extra sheets and towels. The floors are ceramic tile with warm area rugs, and the unit has its own gas heater for cool mornings or evenings.
THE BATHROOM has a shower (no tub), with a beautiful stained glass window of curling green vines that echoes the outside greenery. A mirrored, custom made cherry wood shelving/cabinet and ample lighting provides space for your toiletries. Extra towels, washcloths and bath mats are provided so that you don’t have to do laundry before the weekly cleaning service arrives.
LIVING ROOM: This sunny room, with floor to ceiling windows along one wall, contains a large antique trestle table for dining or working, a library, and two comfortable armchairs where you can watch television or stream Netflix movies (46" HD TV). The floors are Mexican pavers topped with oriental area carpets. A sliding glass door leads to a private view deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee or meals on balmy nights.
THE KITCHENETTE: Suitable for light cooking, the kitchenette features a butcher block countertop, a two-burner inset induction stovetop with hood, a microwave and half-refrigerator, as well as a dishwasher. The cabinets are furnished with dishes, cutlery, and cookware for the induction stovetop, a toaster, blender, French press coffee maker as well as a drip filter setup. An electric Breville toaster/oven is available upon request. If you need something else, I can usually provide it from my own kitchen.
WASHER AND DRYER for tenant use only are located a few steps away from the front entrance of the unit.
OUTDOOR SPACE
In addition to the private view deck off the living room, a sunny flagstone patio area with bench, lounge chair, and table and chairs in the lower garden provides another outdoor venue for morning coffee or for lounging in the sun. A Weber gas grill is located here for cooking and dining al fresco. The patio, the grill and the view deck are for tenant use only.

About the host
Hosted by Diane Richards
Why they chose this property
Quiet, tree-lined residential area away from the hubbub of the downtown area, yet close enough to walk to restaurants and attractions.
What makes this property unique
Because of the size and geographical situation of the property, all you see from the apartment are views of SF, Mt. Tamalpais, and gardens-no views of the houses and decks of others.
