Description
of the home
The original house at 290 UNION STREET was built circa 1870s
and is located in the ‘historic district’ of Telegraph
Hill. This designation seeks to preserve the largest concentration
of pre-1906 earthquake dwellings in the City. The façade
of the remodeled and expanded house is in keeping with the simple,
straight-forward architecture of that era with an unobtrusive
setback/terrace on the fourth level.
290 UNION STREET has been engineered and designed with utmost
attention to modern conveniences and detail with state of the
art installations. The floor plan is especially conducive to
entertaining and comfortable City living.
The focus of the house is the view of the Bay with the play
of light and the ever-changing colors of sea and sky against
the City’s landmarks. The plying of luxury liners, cargo
ships and sailboats add to the excitement of the urban landscape.
The new owner will truly enjoy being a Telegraph Hill Dweller!
