Bliss With A Boat Slip In Tiburon, $3.85M

by Philip Ferrato

Tiburon is no stranger to outstanding mid-century design—like much of California, the 1960s were a boom time there—and this wonderfully restored delta-roofed, canal-front home is a perfect example. Comprehensively reworked over the past four years by Jack Byron and his expert team at Suprstructur, the c.1959 dwelling was originally designed by architect Jack Finnegan and custom built in a new community for boating enthusiasts adjacent to the North Bay.

Although Finnegan is not well known today, he was obviously a skilled practitioner, current with the work of contemporaneous architects like Jones & Emmons, whose Modernist homes in wood and glass for developer Joseph Eichler were being built around the Bay Area.

Unlike Eichler’s more modest spec houses, Finnegan’s work here is defined by broad expanses of glass and spacious rooms under a high but sheltering roof of exposed Douglas fir; the walled front landscape is by the distinguished Margot Jacobs, ASLA of the L.A.-based firm Lay of the Land.
