While some folks come to the city dreaming of life inside storied yet ubiquitous Victorian or Edwardian flats, two staples of San Francisco architecture, a select few, including myself, yearn instead for life inside a classic downtown high-rise.
One such daydream that could come true for one lucky buyer: the high life at the Hamilton, a circa-1930 tower on O’Farrell that started life as a hotel, named after Alexander himself, but later converted into residential units in the 1960s.
Unlike the majority of condos inside this Art Deco tower, the home on offer today is one of the Hamilton’s very few terrace units.
This one-bedroom, two-bathroom pad on the 16th floor comes with an eastern-facing private terrace accessible via a set of black-painted French doors. The entire unit, which measures 835 square feet, comes with new polished concrete floors, kitchen, and lighting.
And although most San Francisco homes come with views galore of some sort (the famed waters of the bay do get boring after awhile), looking down on the stunning structures of the Tenderloin and Tendernob, made up primarily of circa-1920s apartment buildings, deserves a tip of the hat.
Asking is (am I really about to type this?) only $899,000, a bargain seeing as how the median price in San Francisco right now sits at $1.44 million.
The listing is through Tom Cacciotti of Vanguard Properties.
