1882 McAllister: A Rare Find in NOPA

Perched atop the corner of McAllister and Lyon Streets, overlooking one of NOPA’s famed Slow Streets, 1882 McAllister is defined by extraordinary natural light, soaring ceilings, and a modern openness that feels unexpected behind its classic San Francisco facade.

This top-floor residence underwent a full-scale, top-to-bottom gut remodel, creating a contemporary interior with exceptional volume throughout. Sixteen upgraded windows wrap the corner exposures, filling the home with natural light throughout the day. Ceilings soar throughout at an exceptionally tall height, giving every room a sense of air and scale that is rare to find, even in San Francisco’s grandest old buildings.

Wide-plank oak floors run underfoot, and the open living/dining/kitchen area is anchored by a chef’s kitchen finished with Carrara marble countertops, a full marble slab backsplash, a professional-grade Bertazzoni range, integrated wine refrigerator, and dishwasher. Skylights bring additional natural light from above.

The dining room’s showpiece is a striking glass-framed wall that rolls open like a garage door, dissolving the line between inside and out, and flooding the space with light and air.

The primary suite spans the full width of the home, with room to spare for a seating area, reading corner, or comfortable work-from-home setup. It opens into an exceptionally large walk-in closet with substantial wardrobe and storage space. The en suite bathroom features a dual vanity, deep soaking tub, and separate walk-in shower, all wrapped in a calm, spa-like material palette.

A sculptural custom staircase in one of the secondary bedrooms leads to an existing loft area, adding useful bonus space and a distinctive architectural element. A spacious third bedroom is generously sized for a queen-bedroom setup.

A second, floating staircase leads through a skylight roof hatch directly onto the private, exclusive-use 493-square-foot rooftop terrace. Panoramic views stretch toward Buena Vista Park, Sutro Tower, and across the surrounding city. A separate rear stairway off the dining area connects the unit to a shared rear yard, offering both private rooftop outdoor space and ground-level green space.

A large independent private garage is accessible on Lyon St, a rarity in this part of the city.

This home checks every box: space, light, parking, and outdoor life, all wrapped into one.

This building is an established 3-unit tenancy-in-common. Fractional financing is available.

Situated on one of NOPA's famed Slow Streets, where through traffic gives way to tree lined calm, just moments from local NOPA restaurants, the Panhandle, Alamo Square, and the ever growing Divisadero corridor including Bi-rite and so many wildly popular dining and shopping hotspots. NOPA is a neighborhood defined by walkability, community, and an incredibly vibrant food and coffee scene.

There is a reason people who move to NOPA never want to leave.

1882 McAllister sits directly on Lyon Slow Street, one of the neighborhood’s defining community corridors. The colorful Slow Street mural lies on the block between Fulton and McAllister and can be seen from the home, while the street regularly becomes a gathering place for neighborhood events, block parties and community meetups.

Some of NOPA's best everyday spots are just outside the door. Early to Rise and Matching Half are less than 1 block away on McAllister, Bob’s Donuts is nearby at Baker and Fulton, and the newly opened Sol Bakery has quickly become a neighborhood destination. The Divisadero corridor adds Bi-Rite Market, Nopa, Souvla, Fool’s Errand, The Independent, and Michelin Guide-listed jū-ni, along with an vibrant evolving mix of restaurants, bars and independent shops.
