Massively improved price. The perfect landing pad on the San Francisco Bay, this compact and bright, wooden houseboat sits in a south-facing berth with excellent all day light, rustic charm, all the essential amenities and enough character to last lifetimes. Berthed on S 40 Dock, known for its wonderful community spirit and quiet location, Little Boat'' is adjacent to the widened Dock gathering spot where amazing concerts pot lucks and get-togethers occur regularly. Close to downtown Sausalito, an easy hop into SF and practically at the beginning of Marin's abundant bike paths and hiking trails, this home could be the ticket to simplified lifestyle or a small base for your Bay- or City-based activities. You will also sleep well at night knowing that the hull has recently been redone with fiberglass. This home is a gateway: every previous resident has become a floating home enthusiast.
