It’s no secret that San Francisco has some fabulous old-timey real estate. Brick and timber lofts, the rarest of these historical properties, account for less than one-fifth of one percent of all housing units in the city. Created from formerly industrial structures, they are masterful examples of adaptive reuse and celebrate the craftsmanship of a bygone era. They’re timeless, they’re distinctive, and they’re sexy. Needless to say, it’s a (brick) red letter day when one lands on the market.

Just one block away, in a former printing house built circa 1917, this 1-bedroom live/work loft at 355 Bryant is “transparently priced” and the seller is motivated — make any offer! The place measures a whopping ±1,551 square feet with soaring ceilings, tons of storage, and urban outlooks to boot. As the staging demonstrates, half of the living area could function as another bedroom. There is also a large updated kitchen, work-from-home space, and two split baths that share a shower area. Owners enjoy a common rooftop view deck added in the 1992 conversion. For what it’s worth, this particular home has sold for as much as $1,280,000. Opportunity knocks to buy the dip. Listing Details
