1895 Pacific Avenue No. 405
1 BEDROOM | 1 BATH | 1,115 SQ FT | OFFERED AT $1,295,000 SOLD AT $1,655,000
Welcome to 1895 Pacific Ave No. 405, a high floor corner unit in a distinguished Art Deco building in Pacific Heights, with timeless elegance and quiet luxury.
“We were in this home for all of Covid and never tired of it. In fact, it was our savior (one podcasting from the closet, the other working from the kitchen)! Every night we’d go to the roof deck for a toast and best view in the city, then have dinner in the nook of our bay window, seeing the bay and the bridge. We’d walk in on afternoons and be hit with light - it was a magical, inspiring, energizing, stately, and cool spot we had so much fun in, and were so sad to leave.”
A rare offering set within one of Pacific Heights’ distinguished Art Deco buildings, this reimagined one-bedroom residence pairs timeless architecture with elevated modern living. From the opulent lobby with ornately carved ceiling to the veneered birdcage elevator, preserved period details evoke the sophistication of old New York.
Perched on the corner of an upper-floor, light pours in through an excess of west-facing windows, with outlooks of the bay through high-reaching palms, and a peek of the Golden Gate Bridge. Graceful archways and open-concept living, dining, and kitchen spaces lend an airy elegance to every room. The meticulous remodel was deliberately designed to maximize aesthetic, storage, and little luxuries throughout, with custom cabinetry, Kelly Wearstler lighting, and separate walk-in closet that was converted into a laundry/mud room. The primary bedroom is generously scaled and complemented by a walk-in closet customized by California Closets, offering rare storage and seamless organization. The spacious bath is equally refined, appointed with a double vanity and high-end finishes that create a sense of indulgence.
Additional amenities include an in-unit Miele washer and dryer (one of the only units to have in-unit laundry), private storage, and one-car parking with dedicated EV charging. Residents also enjoy access to a spectacular common roof deck with sweeping views that capture the city’s most iconic vistas.This ideal residence embodies the very best of Pacific Heights living: timeless, polished, and quietly exceptional.

What we loved about our home
We fell in love with the old world Art Deco charm, bay views, palm trees, and California sunshine pouring in through the windows. Perched at the perfect height on the sunnier edge of Pac Heights, we woke up every morning to views of the Bay and Bridge and had dinner in the bay window with a fabulous sunset each evening. We loved this apartment every single day, even through an entire Covid lockdown, with one of us podcasting in the space daily.
The building itself is classic and beautifully maintained with one of the best rooftop decks in the city, we'd go up almost every evening for a gust of fresh air and to take in the stunning view, we nearly always had it to ourselves.
We walked to the best of Fillmore (which promises to continue getting better with the Upper Fillmore Restoration Project underway), Polk (which just welcomed a Bi-Rite in addition to 2 Michelin-starred restaurants, and old standbys Cheese Plus and St. Frank’s coffee), and Union Street (The Pad yoga studio at the bottom of the hill, Camino Alto as a perfect neighborhood restaurant, and the Equinox gym). We played tennis weekends at Lafayette Park, ran the Lyon Street Steps, and loved how easy it was to get to Fort Mason, Alta Plaza, the Marina, and out to Marin or Wine Country on weekends. Commuting out of the city to SFO or the Peninsula is also made easy with Gough street access, and the parking in the building garage. A bodega next door, farmers markets down the hill, and some of the city's best new restaurants within a few blocks added up to a luxuriously easy (and fun) city life.
The only reason we left was two young kids - otherwise, we'd still be there in a heartbeat.
