A rare opportunity to own in one of San Francisco's most architecturally significant boutique condo buildings, in the heart of Jackson Square, the City's most dynamic and design-forward neighborhood. Completed in 2018 and designed by the acclaimed Handel Architects, 288 Pacific masterfully blends historic context with contemporary luxury. Its masonry facade and metal-framed windows pay homage to Jackson Square's Gold Rush-era warehouses, while the interiors deliver modern sophistication at every turn. Inside Residence 2A, you're greeted with soaring 11-foot ceilings at the entry with sight lines to expansive south-facing windows that flood the home with natural light. Wide-plank European oak flooring runs throughout, anchoring the home in warmth and refinement. The open-concept kitchen, living and dining space is made for entertaining. And the finishes elevate the space even more--with Wolf range, Sub-Zero fridge and freezer, and Waterworks fixtures throughout. Two en-suite bedrooms, powder room, in-unit laundry, an exclusive-use patio, and garage parking complete the package.  The building's amenities are unmatched in Jackson Square, including a lobby attendant, two outdoor terraces on the top two floors with sweeping City and Bay views, and an outdoor kitchen. And all of this surrounded by some of the best restaurants and exclusive boutiques the City has to offer, moments from Downtown San Francisco, North Beach, and the Embarcadero.

Historic Jackson Square, San Francisco

Jackson Square has emerged as one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in San Francisco, transforming from a historic district of 19th-century brick-and-timber buildings into a premier hub for the artificial intelligence and venture capital sectors, incredible food offerings like Kokkari, Cotogna, and the three-Michelin-star Quince, high-end boutiques, and a location hard to beat immediately next to the Financial District and Waterfront.
