It’s not a dream, it’s a lifestyle you can attain. Enjoy a kayak ride along the shore to go to dinner. Or sip a glass of wine on the roof deck as you watch the fading light play on the slopes and ridges of Mt. Tamalpais.
One of the most attractive features of Floating Home living is how much living space designers can create in compact floor plans. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home measures out at approximately 1,050 square feet, but with large decks and a remarkable flow it offers all the amenities of a larger land-bound house.
Each year you’ll have the option (but not the requirement) to submit your home to be considered for the annual one-day Sausalito Floating Homes Tour, which draws design aficionados from around the world. The endearing charm and efficient layout of this home represent the kind of architectural excellence that those fans come to see.
The owners have impeccably updated this lovely home, and furniture is included (minus a few items).

The Area
This beautiful Floating Home is berthed in the heart of Sausalito’s famous houseboat community, just north of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County, California. This is the area where Otis Redding wrote the classic song, “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” in 1967, making this one of the most prestigious houseboat addresses in the world.
65 years ago movie star Sterling Hayden and philosopher Alan Watts held their versions of the Paris salons of Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso and F. Scott Fitzgerald in this area. Although those large events — and the bohemian vessels where they were held — are now long gone, residents still entertain neighbors and host discussions on a smaller, more intimate scale.
Today the neighborhood is a fascinating mix of people, with residents ranging from artists to entrepreneurs and from pilots to interior designers.
A small store, a deli that’s been featured on TV restaurant shows, and a highly-rated casual restaurant are just a block or two away. A shopping center and regional transit hub for bus service are located several blocks away.
Just a block from the entrance to Issaquah Dock lies the Mill Valley-Sausalito Multi-Use Path. To the north your bike ride leads to the trails of Mt. Tamalpais. To the south you can ride across the Golden Gate Bridge to San Francisco.
A few blocks to the south are a supermarket, the post office, an art gallery supported by over 100 local artists, and a wide range of coffee shops, diners and restaurants including American, Chinese, Himalayan, Indian, Mexican, Middle Eastern and Pizza.
