OPEN HOUSE - SATURDAY 4/12 - 4:00PM - 5:00PM Live in the famous "Duck House" on Telegraph Hill! Built by the Forbes Family in 1930 and lived in by several famous San Francisco authors, this is a one bedroom apartment for someone who truly appreciates San Francisco history. Once inhabited by Armistead Maupin while he wrote Tales of the City, Eleanor Roosevelt, and The Chronicle's own Herb Caen, this is a chance to live as they once did. The Duck House is the only home on the coveted north side of Alta Street, with 170 degree views of Coit Tower, Angel Island, the Bay, Berkeley, Oakland, and the new lights of the Bay Bridge. The apartment sits just over the Filbert steps, yet you can drive a car right up to the gate! It's conveniently located within a few blocks of the Trans America building and downtown, but is also part of a completely secluded cul-de-sac where everyone knows each other. Walk to Northbeach, Jackson Square, the Ferry Building, Coit Tower and Embarcadero. With fireworks visible from the end of the block 4 times a year and the Parrots of Telegraph Hill right outside your window, you will be the envy of all your friends. The location is unbeatable! Enter through a secret garden and patio area to a huge great room with an 8 by 6 foot picture window flanked by built-in bookshelves and cabinets. Its 14 foot ceilings and elevated kitchen (dishwasher, gas stove, garbage disposal) make you feeling like you're a chef on stage. There is also a wood burning fireplace and separate office area. Enjoy sitting on the balcony and soak in the views. Half a flight of steps lead you to a large bedroom and an elegant marble tiled bathroom. Owner pays trash and water. This is a 100% no smoking property.
