1945 Hyde Street #4      This is a very rare stunning loft in an award winning architecturally significant building atop the distinguished and hip Russian Hill neighborhood. Impeccable home in a sought after location.

1945 Hyde provides the life-style for those who want it all...

The full San Francisco experience is offered in this fabulous 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2-car parking home measuring just under 2800sq' all on a single floor...With no internal stairs, square footage is maximized and the wide open, well designed floor plan flows effortlessly from room to room adding to the ease and enjoyment of every day living. The huge great room incorporating the kitchen, dining and living room expertly choreographs the perfect environment for those who love to entertain. An expansive granite paved rooftop deck allows the gracious host to extend the party to the outdoors for a cocktail at sunset with breathtaking city and Golden Gate Bridge views. Concealed in-wall, large sliding doors provide flexibility and a range of possibilities for a third bedroom or an intimate private escape. Currently used as an office.

The inherent architectural masculinity is masterfully presented with the enviable duality of strength and sophistication. 1945 Hyde is a highly successful adaptive reuse of a 1920 cast concrete garage reimagined by the local award winning architectural firm of Ogrydziak Prillinger Architects. Visionary builder John Parker Willis brought this monumental structure back to life by converting a parking garage into seven distinct residences.  Willis+Co has built several distinguished homes in the neighborhood including 168 Sproule Lane and The Russian Hill Summit at 1035-1037 Vallejo St.

From the oversized triple glazed windows that run the entire length of the loft to the Windowless Fresh Air Replacement System, attention to detail is evident throughout. The dynamic diagonal thrust of zinc plated steel support beams communicate definitively the structural integrity of the loft while exposed 100 year old cast concrete walls convey an added sense of history to this extraordinary home. A dedicated photovoltaic system addresses environmental concerns while maintaining the utility bill to a bare minimum.

Unit 4 was delivered as a raw shell...the current, original owners working alongside the architects added all of the high-end interior finishes....Italian quartzite counter tops in the kitchen and all bathrooms, venetian plaster walls and Boffi bath fittings throughout. There is nothing like this home in Russian Hill...this is truly a one of a kind property.

NEIGHBORHOOD    "Russian Hill is distinguished by its rich artistic, literary and intellectual traditions, home to such varied individuals as architect Willis Polk, photographer Dorothea Lange, and writer Jack Kerouac, all who helped shape the unique character of Russian Hill...."
