This tony northeastern neighborhood, named after one of S.F.’s 48 hills, flies under the radar, especially compared to neighboring Pacific Heights and the Marina. 1945 Hyde Street, right on the Powell/Hyde cable-car line, is a straight shot to Fisherman’s Wharf, passing on the way the first Swensen’s Ice Cream just next door and the entrance to the iconic Lombard Street. (The exceedingly charming Macondray Lane, inspiration for Barbary Lane in Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City, is also close by.)
Specs: 3 beds, 2.5 baths, 2,789 square feet
Originally a cast-concrete garage built in the 1920s, the Garage on Hyde, as it’s now christened, was repurposed and reimagined into seven residential units by developers Willis+Co and Ogrydziak Prillinger Architects in 2013. Unit #4, the largest of the seven, is on the market for the first time. Inside, everything is spread over one floor, with an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area separated from two bedrooms by a cluster of bathrooms and the laundry room; a third bedroom is tucked behind in-wall sliding doors on the other end of the living area. Oversize windows cover the entire length of the loft, while 100-year-old original concrete walls, zinc-plated-steel support beams, and steel ceilings amplify the loft vibes. And a shared rooftop deck brings home the Golden Gate Bridge views.
