The story
With its soaring ceilings and full-height windows framing captivating views of the Golden Gate, North Bay, Alcatraz & beyond, full-floor Apartment 8 at 2288 Broadway ranks among the most extraordinary view homes in San Francisco. Following the recent completion of an extensive renovation, the residence pairs the gracious scale and craftsmanship of a classic Pacific Heights home with the ease of single-level living within a doorman building. From a private elevator landing, a circular floor plan unfolds through marvelously scaled entertaining rooms oriented to a cinematic, ever-changing panorama of the San Francisco Bay. The living room, adjoining family room, and dining room extend across the northern facade to a 50-foot terrace, creating an exceptional setting for both intimate living and entertaining. A richly appointed library offers a quieter retreat with rare western views over Pacific Heights. Defined by restraint and exceptional craftsmanship, the renovation features bespoke lighting, hardware and materials selected from leading ateliers including Waterworks, Schumacher, Pierre Frey and Stark. The expansive kitchen combines custom cabinetry, polished antique-brass fittings and generous storage with a relaxed breakfast area. A private bedroom wing is anchored by a serene primary suite with a dressing room and luminous marble bath, joined by a second en-suite bedroom and two additional bedrooms. Designed by architect Angus McSweeney in the Streamline Moderne style, 2288 Broadway has for generations ranked among San Francisco's most coveted boutique cooperative buildings. As one of the two highest residences in the tower, Apartment 8 commands 360-degree views from sunrise to sunset. Amenities include a 24-hour attended lobby, in-home laundry, two-car independent parking and four large storage rooms totaling more than 600 additional square feet. Residents also enjoy access to a beautifully landscaped, adjacent private garden, a peaceful outdoor retreat featuring mature trees, manicured lawns and an inviting seating area. At the apex of Pacific Heights, Apartment #8 is moments from evergreen Alta Plaza and the shops of Fillmore, Union and Chestnut Streets.
