Why the Owner Chose Castro
As a long-time San Franciscan, I have lived in many of the City's neighborhoods over the forty years, and Corona Heights is my favorite. This is a quiet, centrally-located community with a cosmopolitan edge. It's parks and gardens, hidden stairways, available street parking, and multi-cultural atmosphere make this an outstanding home base for you to relax, explore, and enjoy the best of San Francisco.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Wake up to birds singing and sunshine pouring through skylights and windows; gaze overtrees and rooftop views: ttake a short walk down the hill to Castro Street or stroll across the street to the cliffs of Corona Heights. Thoughtfully designed over five years, ask David to share the stories about the evolution of this unusual layout and his choice of details that make this flat a unique place you will not forget.
