22 Yellow Ferry Dock, Sausalito
3 bedrooms, 2 baths $1,488,000
Dramatic Mt. Tam Views & Three Levels of Spacious Luxury
on a Dock That Will Make Your Neighbors Jealous!
Here’s a Sausalito secret: the intimate Yellow Ferry Dock in Sausalito’s famous floating homes community is a favorite spot for local buyers, and listings seldom appear for its homes. If you do manage to find a place for sale here, it’s likely to be far smaller than the approx. 1,861 square feet of this luxurious retreat from the pressures of modern life.
22 Yellow Ferry Dock is one of the most convenient and thoughtfully-designed homes in the neighborhood. Three spacious bedrooms AND a large entertainment room (or office) (or music room) (or creative space) (or… your idea goes here!). There are lots of two bedrooms here on the bay in Sausalito, some two bedrooms plus family room. But three bedrooms with still more living space? Those are hard to find.
The expansive living room has stunning newly-refinished hardwood floors and a large gas fireplace. Enjoy your views of Mt. Tamalpais with a cup of coffee in your warm kitchen on a cool springtime morning. Then open the French doors and step out onto your spacious deck to take in the sights and sounds of the bay, along with even wider vistas of the Marin Headlands, Mt. Tam and the Yellow Ferry dock.
The kitchen features a breakfast bar, a Thermador stove and dishwasher, and a full wall of glass tile including the backsplash. Beadboard-style wainscoting graces the ceiling. When you return from the store with fresh groceries from one of the local organic markets, a parking space will be steps down the dock from your door. No marathon walks just to get your ice cream home before it melts!
If the living room reminds you of a wonderful long-ago vacation, the upstairs bedrooms will feel like a luxurious spa. Up a beautiful spiral staircase from the living room, they each feature hardwood floors, large windows, and their own private balconies with wonderful views. The master has a walk-in closet with built-in fixtures, and more closets abound throughout this floating home. The primary shower is also a steam room, and the master bath features Porcelanosa tile throughout along with modern, high-end fixtures.
The lower bedroom, nestled in the modern hull of this high-end floating home, is also spacious and bright. (Check put the photos!) Its bathroom features a European shower with multiple jets, a custom sink, a throne toilet and Italian tile.
The large open area downstairs can be that music room you’ve always dreamed of. Or a meditation space. A home office. Or an artist’s studio. A convenient closet houses the stacked washer and dryer.
During the summer you’ll dine outside on the deck al fresco with friends as you watch the evening shadows ebb and flow on the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais. Then you’ll step right onto your own private boat dock, from which you can kayak to the summer concerts on the lagoon. Or you can skip all the cooking and just paddle to the dock at The Trident, Dita’s, Fish Cafe, Le Garage, Joinery, Salito’s Crab House and Prime Rib, Bar Bocce or one of Sausalito’s other highly-rated bayside restaurants!
Just two blocks from the entrance to Yellow Ferry Dock lies the Mill Valley-Sausalito Multi-Use Path. To the north your bike ride will lead to the trails of Mt. Tamalpais. To the south you can ride across the Golden Gate Bridge to San Francisco.
22 Yellow Ferry Dock is a unique opportunity to have both the lifestyle of Sausalito’s floating home community and the conveniences of a modern luxury residence.

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, and it’s also where Jennifer Garner recently filmed the AppleTV series “The Last Thing He Told Me.”
The modern Sausalito houseboat community began after World War II, when artists, boatbuilders and skilled artisans converted vessels abandoned by the U.S. Navy at the Marinship shipyards into floating homes. 22 Yellow Ferry Dock offers a rare opportunity to live on one of the most desirable micro-neighborhoods in Sausalito’s floating homes community. Sausalito floating home specialist Michele Affronte is excited to share this unique new listing.
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.
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.
