Magnificent Apartment at The Heights 1940 Broadway #6 São Francisco, Califórnia 94109 Estados Unidos

Since its earliest days, the stately prewar tower at 1940 Broadway—known as The Heights—has been one of San Francisco's most distinguished addresses. Defined by classic proportions, symmetry, and a gracious setback behind landscaped gardens, the 1926 building evokes the elegance of Park Avenue while remaining a prized residence in Pacific Heights.

Occupying the entire sixth floor, this light-filled residence was designed for artful living and entertaining. Soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and refined minimal interiors highlight original details such as toasted oak hardwood floors, plaster moldings, and French doors. Sweeping views extend from the Golden Gate Bridge and bay to Alcatraz, Coit Tower, and the Russian Hill skyline.

Uniting the living and dining areas at the heart of the home, the 60-foot great room offers exceptional scale and flow for entertaining, with abundant natural light from multiple exposures. The three-sink kitchen is thoughtfully designed for both everyday ease and catered gatherings, featuring marble, Corian, and granite surfaces, Poliform cabinetry, and premium appliances—complemented by a separate, stainless-steel catering kitchen. Discreetly integrated are a coffee station, wet bar, office nook, laundry, and abundant storage throughout.

The flexible floor plan includes two or three bedroom suites. The primary suite is a bright retreat with a marble-clad bath, steam shower, and antique soaking tub set within a bay window. Another ensuite bedroom may serve as an elegant dressing room with custom-built Poliform closets for ample wardrobe storage and a marble and mirror-clad, windowed bath.

A comprehensive renovation introduced modern comforts such as automated shades, Lutron controls, Meyer Sound surround audio system and an advanced acoustical/soundproofing system designed by Salter Associates. A newly leveled concrete subfloor ensures seamless, threshold-free movement throughout.

Under the stewardship of the current owner, the building has undergone significant upgrades, including new plumbing, electrical and fire systems, waterproofing, security enhancements, and refined restoration of the lobby's original marble, terrazzo, and brass detailing.

Behind secure gates, residents enjoy rare private gardens with mature landscaping and inviting spaces for quiet relaxation or entertaining. Additional amenities include a live-in manager, private storage, and garage parking for two or more vehicles—completing a residence that balances historic pedigree with modern comfort.
