Architect Designed And Furnished Loft

Permit/Tax I.D. - STR-0001508

Our property was built in 1914 with bricks salvaged from the 1906 Earthquake. Robert Hutchinson purchased the building in 1960. Mr. Hutchinson lived in the building for almost 50 years until his passing in 2008. Mr. Hutchinson was a prominent San Francisco designer whose work was featured in Architectural Digest. He lived upstairs and had his design studio downstairs. Mr. Hutchinson used the private and public spaces in the building to experiment with architectural and design concepts. The walls of the loft have been lacquered red, flat black, and adobe.

Many of Mr. Hutchinson's most dynamic pieces remain in the home, such as the burl redwood dining table (1978), the petrified wood table, (1981). The facade was also created by Mr. Hutchinson in 1977 and is unique to San Francisco. He believed in working carefully with craftsmen to create interiors that were conceptual and stupendous.

The entire building underwent a complete renovation/remodel/earthquake retrofit, from the basement to roof in 2009. The loft has a private entrance on Sutter Street and a private garage entrance behind the building. (There are 24 steps to reach the loft from Sutter and 13 steps from the garage.)

As you enter the loft from Sutter there is the great room, which is comprised of a spacious living /dining area. The guest bedroom/bathroom is located in the front of the house as well. The kitchen has been completely remodeled and is fit for a chef.

The main bedroom suite is located in the back of the loft and overlooks the roof garden. Many elements in the suite were designed by Mr. Hutchinson. Mr. Hutchinson designed the fireplace, the couches, the cantilevered shelves, and the vanity in the bathroom.
Off the bedroom is a breezeway with a door to a private 1,000 square ft. deck. The deck is a true urban oasis, overflowing with bamboo and orchids. There is a teak outdoor table for six and several seating areas.

There are hardwood floors throughout, exposed brick walls, and massive steel columns. The loft is 2000 square feet has a private 1,000 square foot deck. Of course, there's great wifi and a washer/dryer. There is a private garage, entered on Fern Street, that is included with your reservation.

Walking is the only way to explore a new city. The loft is centrally located in Lower Nob Hill, with easy walking distance to Russian Hill, Union Square, Ghirardelli Square, Chinatown, Pacific Heights, and Civic Center. Amazing restaurants, shops, and high-end groceries are close by as well. The California Street Cable Car is only three blocks away. The California Cable Car takes you to Grace Catherdral, Chinatown, downtown with a final stop at the Ferry Building.

Although the loft is in the center of town it is peaceful and private. The loft has a relaxed San Francisco-New York loft aesthetic. Glorious bay breezes preclude the need for air conditioning. We have been listed on VRBO for over a decade and our reviews are outstanding. My partner Steve or I will show you around the place upon your arrival.
We hope to see you soon.

Cheers,
Rob & Steve
