18 Lansing Street 302

San Francisco, CA 94117

History and modernity collide at 18 Lansing Street. Originally built in 1928, the Sorg Building was a printing house for almost 70 years. In 1996 it was converted to residential lofts, retaining the industrial character-steel beams, detailed facade moldings, brick and concrete accents-while creating voluminous spaces for today's city dwellers. Opening onto a tree-lined quiet circle street, the detailed iron gate welcomes you into this sanctuary. Steel structure is clearly visible in gleaming red paint. The lobby is voluminous with ultra-high ceilings, polished concrete floors, gracious wood seating and a curved ramp hallway. Take the elevator upstairs to an equally striking spacious hallway with brick accents and concrete panels. Unit 302 is positioned perfectly under the roof setback, making it the top floor, and opening onto quiet Lansing Street tucked away from the hustle and bustle. It is also the only unit in the building with central air-conditioning. A welcoming entry foyer allows leads straight into the double-height open plan living & dining room lit by a wall of windows peering up to the sky and the architecturally significant contemporary towers all around. A corner kitchen, complete with entertainment island, provides ample space to prepare a meal or a cocktail. Also off the foyer is a separate den space, complete with dedicated office nook and half-bath. Up a handsome spiral staircase is the huge bedroom loft, shielded from below by a hefty solid half-wall and, if needed, vertical blinds. This is more than a sleeping chamber, with room for a seating area and/or desk, large bed area, full bath, two reach-in closets AND an extra-deep walk-in closet + washer & dryer of your own. All lit by a skylight to make the area usable day or night. Google Fiber covered by HOA. 1-car parking in garage plus a huge private storage cage. Ready to venture out? Whether you call it South Beach, Rincon Hill or the East Cut this is definitely the center of the action. Even though you are on a residential street in a historic building all around are the gleaming towers of the new San Francisco. Walk the dog along the Embarcadero; stop for coffee in elevated Salesforce Park. Tech, finance and creative offices are close by. Delectable restaurants, world-class shopping and entertainment are at your feet. Hop on the Bay Bridge, Caltrain, BART to reach further. Make this your San Francisco home and extend this building's glorious history into the future.
