Postcard Views From Telegraph Hill, $8.5M
Author:Philip Ferrato
San Francisco has no shortage of seductive views, and this home perched near the top of Telegraph Hill just below Coit Tower, may have more than its share. With outlooks ranging from the Bay Bridge to the Golden Gate and encompassing everything in between, it’s a late-career work by Lewis Butler of Butler Armsden Architects. As one of San Francisco’s most successful residential architects who sadly passed away before its completion, he was widely admired for his wit, erudition and passion for creating truly Modernist dwellings of exceptional quality.
Butler prized interior volumes that were elegantly proportioned and visually uncluttered, values that remain embedded in his firm’s design DNA. What he created here at 115 Telegraph Hill Boulevard is an extraordinary LEED certified, 3-bed, 3-bath, 2-half bath detached condominium, part of a trio of unique homes in the same Modernist idiom.
An expanse of Fleetwood windows open up the living room to the outdoors, and just above, the dining area and kitchen occupy an entire level. All interior levels are served by a fully automated elevator.
The topmost level has the primary suite (plus a second ensuite bedroom) with a dressing room and spa bath for two finished in Venetian plaster, and there’s access to the roof terrace through an automated skylight.
On the lower level, an equally spacious volume for a multipurpose entertaining/meeting space and the third bedroom, with a garden below.
Visit the listing for additional images and details. An exceptional opportunity to possess an eminently liveable work of architecture, represented by veteran luxury specialist Howard Epstein of City Real Estate; there’s an Open House on Sunday, October 5 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.
