one-bedroom apartment on Nob Hill (the address is listed as Leavenworth St.) is located in a building that appears on the National Register of Historic Buildings and asks for $2,900/month. There aren't many photos, but the listing promises a lobby with all the period deets you would expect in a 1916 building (ornate molding, hand carved banister). Inside the unit, the kitchen looks small, but it has new cabinets and countertops. There are bay windows and a large bedroom with a walk-in closet. Cats and dogs are OK and there's a laundry in the building.
