luxury house with sea view for sale Belvedere, United States

Some homes are built on a hillside. Others are thoughtfully positioned to capture something truly extraordinary. Discreetly nestled in the hills of coveted Old Town Sausalito, this meticulously updated and maintained mid-century contemporary residence was designed by architect Charles Finney for his own family in the early 1960s. Its remarkable placement was no accident. Finney deliberately chose this elevated setting to embrace an extraordinary, nearly 180-degree panorama of San Francisco's iconic skyline and the shimmering Bay, creating a rare and intimate connection to one of the world's most beautiful cityscapes. Rather than compromising the home's placement for conventional street-level access, the architect embraced the hillside's exceptional vantage point. Approached by a hillside stairway, the approximately 2,100-square-foot residence rewards the ascent with a sense of peaceful retreat, privacy enhanced by established trees, and breathtaking views from nearly every room. Yet this hillside haven remains within walking distance of Old Town's beloved corner store and neighborhood amenities. Understated yet undeniably chic, the home's timeless architectural simplicity is complemented by a sophisticated neutral palette, artful lighting, and light-filled, open-concept interiors of exceptional scale. Soaring vaulted beamed ceilings and expansive bay windows create a dramatic sense of volume in the living room, where a raised-hearth stone fireplace provides a striking focal point. Sculptural pendant lighting lends an artistic elegance to the dining room, distinguished by original Edith Heath tile floors. The adjoining open kitchen, appointed with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, is equally suited to intimate gatherings and gracious entertaining. Thoughtfully integrated art display spaces and a study with custom built-ins further express the home's refined simplicity and attention to detail. Three lower-level bedrooms include a fire-lit primary suite with captivating Bay views, a private view deck, and an en-suite bath featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, and custom dual-sink bamboo vanity. Seamlessly connecting indoors and out, folding glass doors open to a spacious, level patio ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. Multiple view decks and terraces embrace the spectacular panorama, while an upper brick-paved seating area, raised garden beds, and oak-studded hillside grounds create an enchanting natural sanctuary. A rare offering where architectural restraint, effortless sophistication, and inspired siting come together in extraordinary harmony. The elevation was not a compromise. It was the vision.

Perched above Highway 1, this property has a remarkable sense of connection to the Pacific. From the house, the ocean feels immense—you can see the tides ebb and flow daily, catch a glimpse of whales and dolphins passing by, hear the waves breaking, and watch the sea stretch uninterrupted toward the horizon. It’s a view that feels less distant than immersive. Set on approximately three-quarters of an acre, the property is larger than most hillside lots in Stinson Beach, offering an unusual sense of space and privacy. The house settles naturally into the landscape, surrounded by the beauty of the coastal hillside. The home itself is a classic Stinson Beach cabin: simple, timeless, and full of character. Its unique design pairs a custom wood interior with high ceilings and a dramatic wall of glass facing the ocean. Natural light fills the main living space throughout the day, while the warmth of the wood gives the house an easy, comfortable feel. The architecture is understated, allowing the view and surrounding landscape to take center stage. An open loft overlooks the main living area and connects to additional bedrooms, adding to the cabin’s relaxed and unconventional character. There is an openness throughout the house that makes it feel both intimate and expansive, while drawing your eye continually back toward the ocean. Thoughtfully cared for over the years, the home has been well maintained while retaining the simplicity that makes it special. There is nothing overdone here—just a beautifully individual beach house in an extraordinary setting.

The setting is nothing short of breathtaking - sweeping views stretch from Stinson Beach across the horizon and up the rugged Bolinas coastline, with the city skyline shimmering in the distance.

The spirit of creativity still lingers, most notably in the expansive family room, once home to late-night jam sessions and musical collaboration that helped shape an era. The grounds are equally unforgettable: a rare, guitar-shaped pool, sprawling flat lawn, hot tub, sauna, and multiple decks and patios designed for front-row views of the crashing surf below. Every room is oriented toward the ocean, immersing you in the rhythm and beauty of the coast. This is more than a residence, it's a legacy offering, a lifestyle, and a chance to own a meaningful piece of California history. Opportunities like this don't just come along - they're passed down.
