"My wife and I had no interest in buying something that was ready to move in—we were actively looking for a project," says architect David Marlatt. That’s exactly what the couple found in this Sausalito bungalow. The home was built in 1906, and subsequently moved to its current corner lot during World War II, when the Army appropriated its original neighborhood for the Marinship Shipyards. After that, the house was subjected to years of ad-hoc remodels and renters.
