Property Details

Sitting at the apex of two of the city's most coveted and storied neighborhoods, this stunning top-floor, one-bedroom, one-bathroom modern residence offers the perfect blend of quiet sophistication and urban vitality that only Russian Hill and North Beach can deliver.

Inside, you'll immediately notice the thoughtful, open floor plan designed for both comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. The chef's kitchen is a true standout, outfitted with sleek stainless steel appliances and anchored by a generous breakfast bar that flows seamlessly into a spacious, light-filled living room. Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner party or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, the space adapts to your lifestyle. Completing this exceptional package are all the practical luxuries today's discerning buyer expects: in-unit washer and dryer, covered parking, and dedicated storage.

And the views? Simply spectacular. From inside the home, take in stunning vistas of the iconic SkyStar Wheel at Fisherman's Wharf and the shimmering waters of the Bay, a daily reminder that you are living at the very heart of one of the world's most beautiful cities.

But the crown jewel awaits just one flight up: an expansive roof deck offering breathtaking, unobstructed 360-degree views stretching from the notorious rocky shores of Alcatraz across the glittering Bay and sweeping San Francisco city skyline. Whether you're savoring a glass of wine at sunset or watching the city light up after dark, this outdoor retreat is truly something special, a rare luxury in a city where sky-high views typically come at a far steeper price.

Known for its charming tree-lined streets, historic architecture, and a distinctly unhurried pace of life, Russian Hill has long been a sanctuary for artists, writers, and those who simply appreciate the finer things, and this home embodies that spirit beautifully. Beyond your front door lies the irresistible energy of North Beach, just blocks away. San Francisco's beloved Italian-American neighborhood is a cultural landmark unto itself, home to legendary cafés, acclaimed restaurants, lively bars, and the world-famous City Lights Bookstore. Stroll along Columbus Avenue for a cappuccino, catch live music on a weekend evening, or simply soak in the vibrant street life that has made North Beach one of the most iconic urban villages in the country. With Washington Square Park and the waterfront nearby, the neighborhood offers an unmatched variety of ways to spend your time. Commuters will appreciate easy access to Jackson Square, the Financial District, and downtown, as well as freeway access to the East Bay and South Bay.

about this

Neighborhood

Russian Hill is one of San Francisco’s most distinctive neighborhoods, celebrated for its steep hills, sweeping views, and charming mix of historic and modern architecture. The area features everything from classic Edwardian and Victorian row houses to elegant mid-century and contemporary residences. One of its most famous landmarks is Lombard Street, often called “the crookedest street in the world,” with its series of eight sharp switchbacks. Another notable site is the Feusier Octagon House, one of San Francisco’s few surviving 19th-century octagon homes, located on Green Street.

The Russian Hill neighborhood enjoys a prime location, bordered by Pacific Heights and Marina to the west, Fisherman's Wharf and North Beach to the north/east, and Nob Hill and Chinatown to the south. This central position provides residents with endless opportunities for exploration and entertainment.

The area's character shines through its hillside garden climbs, beautiful parks, and local landmarks like the original Swensen's Ice Cream Store at Union and Hyde. The streets of Jackson, Union, and Hyde feature boutiques and restaurants with a distinct European flair, while Polk Street between Union and Broadway offers excellent shopping options.

Proximity to Fisherman's Wharf provides both recreational and cultural opportunities. The Maritime National Historical Park, including the Maritime Museum and historic vessels along Hyde Street Pier, offers educational experiences. Local dining options range from casual favorites like bubble tea to traditional fish and chips.

Despite its steep terrain and famous hairpin turns, Russian Hill maintains excellent walkability. The Financial District and Civic Center lie within a thirty-minute walk, and several Muni routes serve the area, providing convenient transportation alternatives.
