Set atop a cliff across from Richardson Bay in the heart of Sausalito, 525 Bridgeway is a glass and steel masterpiece surrounded by sweeping, unobstructed views of San Francisco, Alcatraz, Angel Island and the Raccoon Strait. The three-level home, gated and hidden far back from the sidewalk, sits a full twenty feet above grade, rising to a height of fifty feet. Soaring windows on all floors fill its open spaces with natural light.
