Freshly remodeled. Fully furnished. Roughly twenty-four hundred square feet of corner-unit light, with a private rooftop deck and views from the Golden Gate to the Bay Bridge. Walking distance to the Financial District, Salesforce Tower, Anthropic, and Jackson Square.
Spanning the entire length and width of its building, this corner residence reads more like a family home than an apartment — with formal and informal rooms, a library, a rooftop, and city views from three exposures.
The principal living room is dressed in hand-painted marble moldings and anchored by a working wood-burning fireplace. Tall casement windows frame the Transamerica Pyramid and the downtown skyline; refinished parquet floors run underfoot.
An adjoining room, separated by a graceful arched passage, serves as a formal dining room, second sitting room, or library — flexible space for an executive who entertains.
Calacatta marble counters and backsplash, slate-grey cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a long table beneath original plasterwork — equally suited to a quiet morning espresso or an unhurried dinner for eight.
A second prep kitchen and bar offers additional capacity for entertaining.
Floor-to-ceiling built-in shelves line the gallery between the public rooms and the bedroom wing, accessed by a rolling library ladder. A discreet, light-filled study sits off the main hall — ideal as a home office for an executive in residence.
The primary suite occupies a corner of the building, ringed by a bay of windows looking out over the rooftops of North Beach and the city beyond. A dressing area with a Hollywood-style vanity, mirrored closets, and direct access to the en-suite bath completes the wing.
A second bedroom enjoys its own city views; a third is a quiet interior room well-suited to guests. A fourth, smaller room — sized for a twin bed — serves equally well as a home office, playroom, or compact guest space.
The primary bedroom opens to a mirrored dressing corridor with a Hollywood-style lighted vanity, full-height closet space, and a direct passage to the primary bath. A distinctive detail — original to the residence and immaculately preserved.
The home offers two full bathrooms and a powder room. The primary bath features a deep soaking tub and a separate stone-tiled walk-in shower. A second full bath serves the additional bedrooms.
The bathrooms retain their original late-twentieth-century finishes — period stonework, pedestal sinks, and tile — preserved alongside the freshly remodeled kitchen and refinished public rooms.
From the private rooftop deck, the entire city unfolds — Coit Tower to the east, the Bay Bridge to the south, the Transamerica skyline below, and the Golden Gate beyond the Marin hills. Below in the residence itself, every principal room frames a view.
Three exposures of light, a roof deck above the city, and a working fireplace below. The home is older than the views it frames — and just as worth the climb.
Telegraph Hill sits at the eastern edge of the Financial District. For a relocating executive, the commute to most of the city's major employers is either a walk, a single Muni or BART stop, or a short rideshare. No bridges, no freeway, no parking lot.

CarThe residence sits at the convergence of three of San Francisco's most distinct micro-neighborhoods — quiet residential Telegraph Hill above, café-and-pasta North Beach below, and the historic brick of Jackson Square to the south. The city's working heart is a short walk; its loveliest hill is right outside.
San Francisco's Italian quarter — espresso bars, sidewalk cafés, and a half-dozen of the city's most-loved red-sauce restaurants, all within five blocks.
San Francisco's oldest brick-and-iron commercial district — antique galleries, design showrooms, law firms, and a handful of the city's most refined bars and restaurants.
The residence's own neighborhood — quiet, leafy, residential, with one of the city's most beloved staircases and a panoramic park at the top of the hill.
The garage parking space comes with the residence, but most tenants will rarely use it. Telegraph Hill is one of the most transit-rich corners of San Francisco — and the rest is reachable on foot.
Direct trains to SFO, Oakland, Berkeley, Walnut Creek, and the East Bay. Muni Metro to SoMa, Mission Bay, the Castro, and the Sunset.
The cable car turnaround at Bay and Taylor. Touristy, yes — but a useful (and charming) route up Russian Hill and over Nob Hill.
The vintage streetcar line runs the length of the Embarcadero from Fisherman's Wharf to the Castro, passing the Ferry Building and SoMa.
For trips to Oakland, Berkeley, or further into the East Bay. The garage exits one block from the bridge on-ramp.
Up Lombard, across the bridge — for weekend trips to Marin, Sonoma, or Napa.
Ferries to Larkspur, Sausalito, Tiburon, and Vallejo. The most scenic commute in the Bay Area.
The residence is offered fully furnished, with utilities included. What follows is the short list of what makes the home distinct from the inside.
My grandparents, Delphine and Otto Lippi, bought this building on Telegraph Hill in 1943. My father, Leonard, grew up here. I grew up here. The flat described on this page has been our family home for four generations — eighty-plus years on the same hill, in the same building, watching the same view through the same windows.
We've remodeled it carefully and lived in every room of it. I'm offering it now as a furnished corporate residence — preferably to a corporate lessee who can use it for relocating or visiting executives (it doesn't need to be just one), or on a master lease to a corporate-housing partner. It's a home that deserves someone who will appreciate what makes it unusual: the light, the views, the marble moldings, the rolling library ladder, the rooftop at sunset.
If you'd like to discuss terms, schedule a private viewing, or simply ask a question, please be in touch directly. I respond personally to every inquiry.
