One-of-a-Kind Architect Designed Historic New York Style Landmark Loft
Located in one of San Francisco's most prestigious conversion buildings, this dramatic living space was used as the setting for Keanu Reeves' home in the 2001 movie "Sweet November" starring Charlize Theron.
Award winning architect and designer Stanley Saitowitz custom designed the stunning interior renovation of this one of a kind loft. Two units were seamlessly integrated to create a singular spectacular home with approximately 2300 sq. feet of living space.
Soaring 13-ft. tall ceilings and massive north-facing windows infuse the entire condominium with soft, natural light from morning until evening. Cinematic views from the walls of windows include skyscapes, dramatic city lights and panoramic San Francisco locations. Frosted glass and steel sliding doors create privacy walls between the bedrooms and the rest of the loft: When the pocket doors are open they literally disappear, and the open floor plan can accommodate social gatherings of more than 150 people.
Spectacular interior details are abundant:
- Custom crafted rare African Wenge inlaid hardwood floors
- Robert Croutier custom designed bookshelf of rare African Wenge wood
- Custom designed steel home theatre cabinet by sculptor Kyle Reicher
- European designed track lighting
- Open kitchen with honed granite countertops, Honduran mahogany cabinets and custom island
- Master bedroom suite with Downtown and Nob Hill views including the Transamerica Pyramid
- Master bath features an oversized steam shower with double showerheads, double sinks
- Custom fitted closets and dressing area in master suite
- Second bedroom suite with dressing area and view bath with soaking tub
- Gallery entry hallway and ample wall space throughout for an art collection
- Two deeded parking spaces in secure garage
- Two spacious storage areas directly across the hall from the loft
- Common area roof deck and security system
This exceptional property offers New York style luxury living in the heart of San Francisco. The elegant landmark building was completed in 1921 as the home of the local Cadillac dealership, and converted to condominium lofts in 1999. The historic Marquee Lofts consists of approximately 50 residential units on the 4th to 8th floors of 1000 Van Ness. The residential lofts enjoy a private lobby on Alice B. Toklas, and a separate residential garage.
The Civic Center location is moments away from the Symphony, Opera, City Hall, world class restaurants and museums, Union Square shopping and easy public transportation. The central location is a Walker's Paradise, with a nearly perfect "walkscore" of 98 out of 100. From the location one may easily access all points within the City, as well as Highways 101 and 280.
