San Francisco, CA 94133
Stand in the center of the roof deck at 735-737 Union Street, close your eyes, and you’ll know with certainty you’re in San Francisco. Cable cars clang in the distance, the bells of St. Peter and Paul’s chime, seagulls call overhead, sea lions bark at Pier 39, and the foghorn moans as fog creeps beneath the Golden Gate Bridge toward Alcatraz. It’s hard to imagine a more quintessential San Francisco soundscape.Open your eyes and the 360-degree panorama is equally unmistakable: Russian Hill, Nob Hill and North Beach, St. Peter and Paul Church, Coit Tower, the Transamerica Pyramid and Salesforce Tower. Now THAT is San Francisco.The property’s history is equally compelling. The area was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire, which explains the original water record noting construction in 1878 and reconstruction in 1913. A third iteration followed in 1923.The building contains two condominium units, each with its own parking space and generous private storage room. The spectacular view roof deck is shared.The upper unit is a bright, remodeled home with tall ceilings and an easy circular floor plan designed for entertaining. The living room features view windows, ceiling medallions, hardwood floors and crown molding. The dining room is made for memorable gatherings, with views of St. Peter and Paul Church and Coit Tower. It connects to a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and hardwood floors. A dedicated laundry room sits conveniently between the kitchen and bedrooms. Three bedrooms receive abundant natural light, with one-and-a-half recently remodeled baths centrally located.The second-floor unit feels like a step back in time, with soft gray-green walls, box molding, antique-style lighting, medallions and a charming Murphy bed tucked into the living room closet. Two bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths include a full bath with marble sink, nickel fixtures and steam shower. An adjacent Ipe patio in the inner lightwell creates a private outdoor retreatperfect for morning coffee or cooling off after the steam shower. The vintage-style kitchen and laundry room continue the period-inspired character.The lofty garage offers room for your imagination: workout space, office, studioor something entirely your own.Walk to North Beach for coffee and dinner, stroll to Pier 39, or take your dog to Washington Square Park. This is old San Francisco, surrounded by its history, architecture, and some of the city’s most unforgettable views.
