Handel Architects-designed loft in Hayes Valley asks $1.4 million

The new residential building in the heart of Hayes Valley, unfairly maligned by some, is a welcome addition to the popular neighborhood. Handel Architects’s design, along with architect Anne Fougeron’s 400 Grove, has helped transform Hayes Valley into a more housing-friendly neighborhood.

And with that, this glorious ground-floor unit at 450 Hayes lands on the market today. With independent, top-floor access from Ivy Street, this is the ultimate urban townhouse.

Boasting contemporary decor care of Ken Fulk Associates, this one-bed, two-bath, 1,100-square-foot home comes with 25-foot-high ceilings, plank flooring, exposed concrete, and a fabulous sleeping alcove. And do clock the cephalopod-themed wallpaper in the bathroom. Heaven.

HOAs come to $934/month. Asking is $1,425,000.
