The birthplace of the Beat Movement, North Beach has a special vibration to it, emblemized by rows of famous cafes, live music bars, and the wafting scent of fresh-baked focaccia. Moments away from this pulsing heartbeat, Pfeiffer St. serves as the perfect counterbalance: tree-lined and tucked away, dotted with colorful, well-maintained homes. If you keep the windows open and the breeze hits just right, you can hear the muted barks of Pier 39’s sea lion populace.
Natural light and views abound in this charming 2bd/1ba Edwardian condo. Built in 1907, it speaks to bygone eras with generous rooms and character-rich design elements, thoughtfully updated for modern living. Updated oak floors throughout look like they’ve always been there, and an updated ductless HVAC system and AC allow for custom 3-zone temperature control, complemented by the draft-blocking abilities of Marvin double pane windows.

Exterior stairs connect to the home’s most jaw dropping highlight – a spacious rooftop deck with the kind of views you won’t quite believe until you see them. Unobstructed, panoramic, so close you can almost touch them views of the Bay include the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin, and Alcatraz. The shared space is set up for lounging, BBQ, gardening, or hosting, and offers an experience like no other for Fleet Week and Fourth of July fireworks.
Shared side-by-side washer/dryer in garage, along with exclusive-use storage closet.
Popular amongst tourists yet (deeply) beloved by locals, North Beach always manages to hit just the right note, whether it’s Italian folk music bursting from one its many trattorias and cafes, live rock and blues on Grant St., or whispers of the Beat movement (best heard from inside the iconic City Lights bookstore). It’s a neighborhood steeped in history and full of new life. Landmarks like Fisherman’s Wharf, Embarcadero, Washington Square Park, Ghiradelli Square, and Hotel Boheme mingle alongside vibrant nightlife, specialty shops, and events like Art in the Alley. There are plenty of spaces to relax and unwind, and even more in which to stumble on the delightfully unexpected.
