Historic cottage brings Cape Cod to Sausalito

The Cape Cod style cottage at 493 Bridgeway was built in 1904 as one of Sausalito’s original summer homes. Today, it remains a perfect escape for San Franciscans looking to relocate or find a second home in the quiet suburbs of Marin.

Historical records convey the home’s rich history. In the 1960s, the home was used as an antique shop, owned by the French Consulate’s wife who brought the iron gate from France.
