About 179 Downey Street

Perched at the top of Cole Valley with breathtaking panoramic views stretching over the park to the Pacific Ocean, from Twin Peaks to Mt. Tam, this extraordinary top-floor 2 bedroom/2.5 bathroom residence is a rare combination of dramatic architecture, sophisticated design and quintessential San Francisco living. The heart of the home is a showstopping living room, where soaring vaulted ceilings create an incredible sense of volume and light. A lofted office/guest space overlooks the room from above, while a gas fireplace, beautiful herringbone hardwood floors, custom millwork and designer lighting bring warmth and character to the striking interiors. The beautifully updated gourmet kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, while the west-facing deck offers a front-row seat for spectacular sunsets and sweeping outlooks. Stairs lead directly from the deck to a shared fenced yard; an exceptional indoor/outdoor connection in the heart of the city. The serene primary suite features an updated bath with radiant floor heating, a bedroom bay window, and a designer light fixture. Thoughtful amenities throughout the home include cedar-lined closets, an in-unit washer/dryer, an on-demand hot water system and storage for two bicycles. The option for garage parking is also available. Offering a 40% ownership interest in an intimate three unit TIC building, 179 Downey St. is anything but ordinary. Architecturally distinctive, beautifully updated and crowned by remarkable views, this is a home that must be experienced in person. Come for the architecture. Stay for the view.
