About This Home

Located on the iconic Filbert Steps, #221 offers a lifestyle unlike anywhere in San Francisco! With views of the Bay and a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor living, the home provides a rare sense of privacy and community surrounded by lush greenery, the Grace Marchant Gardens, and the famed Parrots of Telegraph Hill. The sunlit living room defines the upper level, complete with vaulted, beamed ceilings, a fireplace, and walls of French-pane windows that frame panoramic views from Angel Island to the Bay Bridge. The adjacent kitchen completes this elegant entertaining level. The bedroom on the lower level features custom cabinetry and expansive windows that capture postcard views of the surrounding gardens and the Bay. A full bath adorned with artistically designed, colorful tile adds to the home's enduring character. In-home laundry and a storage room complete the floor plan. Life continues outdoors on a large terrace that spans the width of the home, offering north and east-facing views, an ideal place to enjoy the tranquility of this remarkable hillside setting. Originally constructed in 1907 as an earthquake shack, a term now affectionately used to describe these rare, city-built cottages, this home has been carefully preserved and updated for modern living.
