This two-level Nob Hill penthouse offers sweeping views - stretching from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay Bridge - from each of two bedrooms, a corner terrace, and the entire expanse of its living and dining spaces. An uncompromising, down-to-the-studs renovation in 2005 achieved the height of elegance, a dream for entertaining and a delight for quiet relaxation. The open floor plan highlights numerous points of interest - painstaking wall treatments, fireplaces, an elegant bar - while allowing one to enjoy a continuous band of windows running the length of the unit. No expense was spared with the materials and finishes, including quarter sawn oak floors, massive slabs of richly veined marble, intricate wood veneers, and silver-leaf ceilings. Lutron lighting, concealed shades, and a state-of-the-art AV system dial-in the perfect ambiance. Outfitted with the finest appliances, the kitchen will delight the most discerning chef. Enter the unit directly from the key-controlled elevator.
