You’ve probably passed it dozens of times and never stopped to think how exquisite Life off of Lombard Street would be! Truly tucked away at the end of a peaceful alley sits 1 Tuscany. Rich in history, this 2-Unit residence was once a printing press facility, ‘Press in Tuscany Alley, with ties to the famed photographer, Ansel Adams. These unique units are ideal for an income-producing property, a multi-generational need, an au-pair suite, the ultimate guest space for out-of-town family and friends, or for someone who needs a genuinely dedicated work-from-home environment!
From the moment you open the private gate, you are greeted by speckles of sunlight that shine through mature fruit and trumpet trees. Pops of pink Bougainvillea flowers make for a playful juxtaposition next to the vibrant blue color on the home's exterior. Whimsical string lights hung above brick pavers guide you as you make your way through the courtyard and up the wooden staircase into the uppermost unit.
The top unit is comprised of an impressive and inviting open concept floorplan that flows effortlessly from the living/dining room, expanding into the kitchen. The main floor is framed with wide-planked flooring throughout and teeming with natural light by way of the oversized skylight and many glass doors! The contemporary kitchen remodel showcases elegant stone countertops, crisp white cabinets, and modern matte black fixtures, which bring a touch of modern aesthetic into this timeless setting. Completing the main floor is 1 bathroom and the first of 3-bedrooms. As you ascend the internal spiral staircase to the upper level, you find 2 additional bedrooms – the primary bedroom benefits from post-card worthy views of the picturesque city!
The generous-sized lower-level unit is located directly off of the courtyard and allows you to employ the space as you wish. Keeping with the theme, this unit also offers a modern, open concept floorplan with a chic, fully remodeled bathroom. Two bedrooms sit side-by-side, and both have sliding doors that lead to tranquil dedicated outdoor spaces, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The best of both worlds!
The crown jewel of this exceptional residence is the awe-inspiring VIEW DECK which overlooks the sparkling San Francisco Bay, including direct outlooks of iconic San Francisco landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, winding Lombard Street, Majestic Saints Peter and Paul Church, and all of the adjacent treasured homes and buildings which make up the extraordinary city skyline. All of this is situated in the desirable location of North Beach. Home to young professionals, families, diversity, and culture. As well as being 1/2 block from the recently renovated Joe Dimaggio Park equipped with basketball courts, tennis courts, an indoor heated pool, bocce courts, playground, and a baseball diamond...of course, as this is where Joe D learned to play baseball when he was growing up a couple of blocks over on Taylor Street! Plus many popular but hidden restaurants such as Don Pisto's and trendy brunches at Mama’s café. Checking all of the boxes, 1 Tuscany Alley is your dream home in a dream setting.
SUMMARY:
At the center of any description of San Francisco, you'll find a reference to "North Beach!" Beginning at the juncture of Broadway and Columbus, North Beach spreads to the bay and down to Telegraph Hill. This most authentic San Francisco district is home to a vibrant Italian-American community and so much more! It also has the distinction of being the spiritual home of the beat poets who rose to fame in the 50s and 60s.
While tourists are thumbing their guidebooks mix with locals each weekend, the real North Beach, and those who call it home, co-exist in the delightful hillside streets surrounding. Those lucky enough to live here enjoy the evening's awe-inspiring views from hilltop patios in the rows of exquisite family homes that line the elevated blocks.
Within the dimly lit old-fashioned neighborhood is where one can still find the authentic life of North Beach. City Lights, the infamous rebel poet bookstore, is where Allen Ginsberg's HOWL was first published. Some of the most extraordinary shopping in the city can be done along Grant Street in the upscale boutiques. And above all, don't miss your chance to have some of the best Italian food this side of the Amalfi Coast. A remarkable dining opportunity is at your fingertips, thanks to a history of immigrants who made this area home in the 1920s and 30s.
The "beach" in North Beach is no longer there. There was a time when the bay's tides lapped up against Taylor and Francisco Street. Today that waterfront has long since been replaced by 19th-century modernization, known now as the Barbary Coast.
