""Wow, imagine living there!" It's a line heard around the world but perhaps most frequently in the vicinity of Russian Hill, where a steady stream of tourists turn up to capture San Francisco's most iconic street. But if you had close to $4 million lying around, you wouldn't have to resort to your imagination; you could actually live at 1028 Lombard St."
"The residence on this famously thrilling stretch of road is a two-level condo originally built in 1915, according to Zillow, but the term "condo" is deceptive. With four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, 1028 Lombard St. offers a whopping 2,844 square feet of living space. Bright and airy, with long, elegant lines and recessed ceilings, the home is a study of minimalist luxury."
"Residents of this exclusive address witness a daily sensation that has made this street a Hollywood hotspot. SFGATE previously reported that it has appeared in everything from Albert Hitchcock's "Vertigo" to "What's Up, Doc?" with Barbra Streisand. Curiously, it wasn't always the wavy marvel that it is today. The transformation from a steep and straight cobblestone road into its current incarnation happened in the 1920s, when engineer Clyde Healy redesigned it to help early automobiles conquer the 27% grade slope."
1028 Lombard St. is a two-level residence built in 1915 that offers 2,844 square feet with four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The home features bright, airy rooms with long elegant lines, recessed ceilings, and a minimalist-luxury aesthetic. Peek-a-boo views of Alcatraz and the Transamerica Pyramid appear from the main-level deck and the primary suite with a walk-in closet and spa-like bath. The spacious kitchen includes a large center island and a light-filled breakfast nook, supporting entertaining. Exterior amenities include a verdant private backyard, a shared roof deck with panoramic views, and one-car parking. Lombard Street's curving design dates to engineer Clyde Healy's 1920s redesign.
