Architecture Wednesday: SoMa Live/Work Loft

First off, it’s San Francisco, my old stomping grounds and one of the most beautiful cities on earth, so that’s a plus. Secondly, it’s a loft, and, in fact, the entire building with two floors of living space and a rooftop deck, so there’s another win. Lastly, it doesn’t look like a lot of lofts because it’s been modernized with walls of glass, and exposed wood, brick and concrete, and other industrial touches, so, yeah, I’ll take it. Oh, and did I mention it’s in the South of Market—or SoMa—neighborhood?

Located just a stroll away from Yerba Buena Gardens, a park and art center, you enter the loft through a stainless-steel laundry area sitting right beside your own private garage—a must for the neighborhood. The first floor sits under 20-foot ceilings with skylights, and offers a spacious great room, billiards room, industrial kitchen and powder room.

The second floor features the private spaces, with glass walls and floors to let the light from above flood the study, an office, and three bedrooms and a bath. Up a flight of stairs is the primary bedroom and bath, with access to the rooftop … which could use some vegetation and large trees for privacy.

Still, there’s a  lot going for this one and I could move there in a heartbeat, if I had the full $6.5 million asking price.
