87 San Carlos Avenue, Sausalito

Pending: $7,000,000

Offering absolute perfection, world class views, and a coveted Banana Belt location, 87 San Carlos Avenue is a true work of art offering sophisticated elegance and unparalleled craftsmanship.  

Inspired by modern design and Scandinavian in spirit, sits an American shingle-style contemporary residence that has been meticulously remodeled, skillfully integrating wooden elements, glass detailing, and steel components surrounded by sweeping, unobstructed views of the San Francisco skyline, the Bay, the Bay Bridge, and Angel Island. With unmatched design and flawless execution, features and amenities include high box beam ceilings, great scale, Jada operable steel French doors and windows, bespoke custom lighting, and gorgeous hardwood floors. 

Redesigned by noted architect, Scott Couture, his reinterpretation, loosens traditional rules of style and proportion to allow for expansive glass windows and doors, and strong visual and physical connections to the outdoors.

The 3,355 square-foot, three-story residence offers four bedrooms and three and a half baths.  The optimal layout includes the main level with an extraordinary chef’s kitchen, a formal dining room, and an expansive living room fronted with windows framing the sailboat-dotted water and skyline beyond.  The upper floor is host to the luxurious primary ensuite, an inspiring office with a private balcony and glass railing, and a second ensuite bedroom.  The lower-level features two additional bedrooms, one full bath, and a large laundry room with a built-in Subzero 150 bottle wine refrigerator. 

Designed by renowned landscape architect Katherine Webster, the gardens elevate the outdoor spaces by using timeless and lasting materials such as teak, steel, and basalt.  The contrasting materials, cumulatively, celebrate a certain architectural precision but without a coldness.

The landscape is textural and soft. With a color palette of contrasts—charcoal-colored natural stone along with chartreuse and glaucus grey-blue notes, contribute to the soothing environment.  Pathways lined with succulents pop up along the way to the rear patio deck, which is dotted with apple trees, and custom-planter boxes flourishing with overflowing succulents.  This blended mix of groundcovers creates a tapestry that ties into the notion of being "bathed in nature".

Meticulous design, exceptional materials, and an idyllic location combine to create this awe-inspiring one-of-a-kind residence.  Just minutes away from San Francisco, downtown Sausalito, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, public transportation, shopping, and restaurants.
