A residence is finally available at 2006 Washington Street, one of San Francisco’s most prestigious buildings! Located next door to Danielle Steel’s fabulous home, and across from Lafayette Park, one couldn’t ask for a better location.

Pacific Heights, Before and After
June 8, 2008
When I showed this beautiful Scott Street condo, facing Alta Plaza Park, to a client in April, I knew immediately that it would sell quickly. And indeed it did. Within days it sold for $2,170,000 — almost $200,000 more than the asking price (and $1,080,000 more than it sold for in July 2005.)
What I didn’t know was just how horrible the place looked before it had been renovated, and what a truly remarkable job the designer had done.
This month, “California Home+Design” has featured the home in its pages. “A Heightened Awareness: San Francisco architect Jennifer Weiss turned a 1960s apartment into an airy space illuminated by park views and a remarkable art collection,” written by Julie Carlson, and photographed by Laura Plageman, gives a full history of how the condo came to be.
But only at SFLuxe will you see the way it was before. It’s an amazing transformation!

2200 Sacramento
June 11, 2007
What a difference design makes.
2200 Sacramento, across from Lafayette Park, is one of my favorite condo buildings in San Francisco. It’s in a fabulous location, has gorgeous views, and is well managed. I find it’s a great alternative for the urban buyer who wants simplified condo living but wants it in a really great residential area.
Having said that, I’m usually disappointed by listings at the building because the interiors are often quite bad. On one recent visit I saw an apartment that appeared unchanged since the ’60s or ’70s — and not in a good way. Some of the residences have been renovated, but the results are lackluster — the typical granite counters and hardwood floors you’d find anywhere.
It takes a bit of work, money and talent to transform mid-century modern to 21st century chic…
And that’s just what the renowned designer Orlando Diaz-Azcuy did with this penthouse apartment at the building. The editors of “San Francisco” were so impressed they put the place on the cover of the June issue!
Diaz-Azcuy spent two years renovating the condo which, according to public records, was purchased in 2002 for $1.3 million.
“San Francisco is a challenging place for a modernist to find an apartment, as the city has only a handful of great contemporary apartment buildings, so I searched for two years,” he told Diane Dorrans Saeks. “Finally I discovered this apartment with 10-foot ceilings and views from the Pacific Ocean to the East Bay, and I bought it on the spot.”
Here are some of the photos from the article, which goes into scrumptious detail on the materials ad colors used, and describes the furnishings and art works. I recommend checking it out for some ideas.
And if you’d consider moving to 2200 Sacramento yourself — keep in touch with me. There are no listings now, but with a little over 100 residences in the building, there should be something for sale soon!
