A head-start of eight years. A lifetime of Bay views
Minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge, 77 Crescent Avenue is not a theoretical 'ground-up’ new stand-alone 4BR/3.5BA ‘on-paper’ construction project. It is a fully-entitled, actively-under-construction residence whose most difficult and risky work is complete. Seven plus years of hearings, engineering, and nearly $1 million in site work (hillside excavation, shoring, drainage, sewer and partial foundation are behind you); the opportunity and fun of finishing your custom home is ahead.
Why this opportunity is different
- Skip the red tape
Coastal approvals in Marin can swallow half a decade; here they are completed and paid. Fully permitted constitution is underway. Vertical construction and finish work can be delivered in 12-15 months on a move-in schedule you can rely on.
- Unique Opportunity to Save 10 to 15% versus turnkey developer pricing
You acquire land, permits, and improvements below cost for $1.75 M and invest directly in the final stages of construction and finishes you choose. No developer markup, no compromises no other opportunity in Sausalito or So. Marin is like it.
- Design pedigree
The architecture is the work of Millard Arterberry, trained under UC-Berkeley design legend Christopher Alexander and author of The Twelve Principles of Sustainability. Millard’s architectural signature is everywhere: the planted green roof, cedar rain-screen siding that lets the structure breathe, Florafelt living walls, and Ipe hardwood decks that appear to grow from the slope.
The home you will complete includes
Four elevator-served levels | 4 bedrooms | 3.5 baths | 3 on-site parking spaces | Approximately 2,650 square feet Living Space | 3,075 total square feet (incl. garage)
- Off street parking plus street-level 2-car garage leads to an entry floor with three bedrooms
- Interior elevator connects the garage to every floor including the top floor primary bedroom.
- A two-story water feature draws you to the main living/kitchen/dining level where a bifold glass wall dissolves into a ~770 sf deck that floats above Sausalito’s treetops and blue water bay views.
- The entire upper floor is a primary retreat with spa style bath and a ~375 sf private deck; exterior stairs climb to a living roof ready for outdoor spa or sunset yoga.
- Optional pre-engineered systems provide rainwater capture, hydroponics, radiant floor heating, EV fast-charging, efficient LED lighting, high-speed network and security systems are among the future-proof features of the home.
