The 1bd/1ba condo’s hillside location offers the convenience of first floor living with penthouse perks. You get to enjoy stunning views of the city, bay, and Coit tower from a large, private balcony – without ever waiting for the elevator.
Its bright and airy floor plan flows easily from door to deck, thanks to thoughtful and extensive renovations. Custom French doors open wide for indoor/outdoor living. Eastern exposure makes morning coffee an absolute delight, as do visits from the famous parrots of Telegraph Hill.
With over 1100 square feet there is plenty of room to add a desk so that you can work from home with ease and style.
Smart lighting and the updated kitchen’s gas range and stainless-steel appliances accentuate original design elements like the decorative fireplace, coved ceilings, and hardwood floors. The plaster ceiling medallions, corbels, and archway are all period pieces modeled from San Francisco’s oldest Victorians, created and restored after the homes were torn down.
Herringbone subway tile makes a sophisticated statement in the ensuite, framing a Japanese soaking tub and walk-in shower with marble floor. The custom-built vanity adds elegance and functionality to this thoughtfully remodeled space. There is plenty of storage, including two closets – one walk-in closet, custom-built for easy wardrobe organization including the washer/dryer. The spacious bedroom is a welcome space to retire at the end of the day.
If you like stunning views, charming thoroughfares, and the feeling of being tucked away but still central to everything, Russian Hill is the place for you. One of San Francisco’s original “Seven Hills”, the area is home to some of the city’s most iconic sights and sounds: Lombard Street’s eight-turn block, a Diego Rivera fresco, and the cable cars which crest the neighborhood’s hills. Commercial stretches along Polk and Hyde Street are home to a diverse selection of shops, cafes, and bars. Have a coffee at Saint Frank and satisfy your sweet tooth at the original Swenson’s. Enjoy a farm-to-table meal at Seven Hills, the French cuisine of La Folie or Elephant Sushi. Grab an Italian sandwich at Molinari’s, a salad at Blue Ban, or try one of Tony’s Pizza’s award-winning pies. Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Safeway, and several local markets are nearby. It’s easy to explore other parts of the city as well – North Beach, Cow Hollow, and the Marina are all within walking distance. Public transit is easy and reliable.
