Rising above the city in quiet sophistication, this 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom penthouse spans 2,932 square feet of luminous, artful living, all within walking distance to Peet''s, Chez Panisse, Andronico''s, the Cheese Board, Saul''s, and more. With level-in direct elevator access, this one-of-a-kind residence was built as the original developer''s owner''s unit—offering a rare opportunity to own a legacy property with timeless appeal. Walls of double-paned windows—newly installed in 2021—flood the expansive interiors with natural light, framing unobstructed bay views from the living and dining rooms.

For those who entertain, the dedicated wet bar invites evenings of cocktails and conversation, while direct elevator access ensures privacy and ease for both residents and guests. The primary bedroom suite is a peaceful retreat, while the second bedroom offers flexibility for visitors or live-in support. With a large storage unit, and the rare pedigree of being the original owner’s unit, this penthouse is a testament to enduring design and gracious urban living.
