Elegant Edwardian Nob Hill Flats, San Francisco Landmark - Built 1906
Location: Nob Hill, San Francisco, San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA (Hidden Treasure at the top of Nob Hill; Quiet Location)
Accommodations: Three Full-Floor Flats, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 1-5)
Three charming, furnished, one-bedroom flats located in picturesque 1909 Edwardian home.
First-floor walk up is French-style with a lovely remodeled kitchen and oak parquet floors throughout and artwork painted by the Philadelphia now in San Francisco artist (and good friend and swing dancer) Peggy Gyulai.
Second-floor flat is traditional, slightly larger with a work alcove, bay windows, and antique redwood floors. Featured art by Northern California artists Marilin Sommer, Peter Collins and a large print collection, vintage as well as new.
The dramatic, top-floor flat is elegant in beige and black (traditional/contemporary) with a large, private, newly rebuilt roof deck with wrought iron railing and penthouse room with superb views of the city, Coit Tower, Pyramid Building and Bay Bridge. Prints from the chalcography in Paris, oils by Marylin Sommers, and a lovely collection of vintage and new lithographs.
All flats have light and airy bedrooms with queen-size beds, living room double-size sofa beds, fireplaces, wood floors, well-equipped kitchens, and laundry access. The first and second floor flats have fold-out twin beds. Some parking is available in the building with the top and second floor flats subject to some vehicle type restrictions.
Property is in the best Nob Hill location, one-half block to Grace Cathedral, less than two blocks to the Huntington, Mark Hopkins, and Fairmont Hotels. Walk or cable car to the financial district, Union Square, China town or North Beach. Located on a quiet, one block, long street (Pleasant Street) convenient to many restaurants, neighborhood markets, dry cleaners, cable car stops, and bus lines.
Due to height of the roof deck, first and second floor flats are best for families with children. "San Francisco with Children" books, children's books, and games are in these units. Please, no wedding receptions, corporate entertaining, or large celebrations or gatherings in the building.
First 9 photos of the top floor flat, roof deck and penthouse study, second 3 of the first floor French Garden Flat and the last 4 of the second floor Bay Window Flat. Thank you to Peggy Gyulai and Chase Cameron for the wonderful photos!
Please note that availability on the rental calendar may mean that only one of the flats is available. Since we are not able to set up 3 calendars we have only indicated when all 3 flats are taken.

Homeowner Response:
Thanks so much Olivia for your kind appreciation. It was great to meet you and your darling children. You were a trooper during our roof top construction. It is almost finished and the results will be a fabulous, new "terrace" for guests of the top floor flat to enjoy. I will update the photos when it is completed next week. JS
