Perched atop Russian Hill, with a commanding sweeping northeast view. Amidst an ever-changing dance of sea, clouds and sky. It offers stunning northeast views of North Beach, Telegraph Hill, the Bay, Angel Island, Alcatraz, Bay Bridge, and Golden Gate. A serene urban retreat above Columbus Avenues bustle. Entering Macondray Lane from Jones St. is a passage into another world. The traffic recedes, air cools, soundscape shifts to wind in foliage, birdsong, and the gentle trickle of water from the Lanes small waterfall. The dense plantings create the sensation of a hidden wooded ravine. And then, emerging quietly from the greenery, stands the restrained facade without the typical bay windows of SF; composed, vertical, and watchful. The footprint dates to the Gold Rush era. Survived the 1906 earthquake and Fire, linking modern SF to its early days. A house of artists for more than a century, the house has existed as a refuge for the curious, the creative, the Arts/Crafts era, Beat generation, countercultural decades of the 60s, 70s, into the present day. It is modest in scale but immense in atmosphere. A house shaped by landscape, survival, conversation, and view at once intimate and expansive hovering above the city it has quietly observed for over 150 years. Own a piece of history!
