NOT IN MLS - UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY Soaring above the rooftops in San Francisco`s theatre and arts district is a luxurious dwelling in the historic Marquee Lofts. This landmark structure was built in 1921 for Don Lee`s Cadillac Dealership and is celebrated as an early example of the emerging architectural style in the 1920`s. The building features a spacious main entrance on a quaint alley named after Alice B. Toklas, a San Francisco native. Alice B. Toklas was the partner of the famous writer Gertrude Stein. She was Stein`s secretary, cook, confidant, and lover. Their relationship spanned nearly thirty-seven years ending with Stein`s death in 1945. The two built a life in Paris that centered around Stein`s literary work and the literary salon they hosted. The salon attracted many of the writers… Show more and artist of the day, and Toklas proved that she could handle her own in this distinguished crowd. She would first come to public attention in 1933 with the publication of the book â??The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas.â?? The book was actually a memoir of Stein`s, but Stein used Toklas as narrator of the story of their life together. This elegant loft is sun drenched in the morning and illuminated by the city lights in the evening. The mood is soft and stylish with an edge that only a renovation of a roaring 1920s building can fashion. An expressive modern space, unit 509`s rooms are defined by a custom curtain system creating intimate dining and sleeping spaces while maintaining a free flowing salon for more lavish affairs. Floating above the chef`s kitchen is the master suite, a private and proper sleeping area with a dressing room and direct access to the bathroom. Situated with a view of city hall, the office is spacious enough to work at home full-time. While you will certainly fall in love with your loft above the city, you can expect great things from the surrounding neighborhood. This location easily accesses downtown and freeways. For art patrons there are world-renowned museums and venues like Herbst Theatre, Davies Symphony Hall and the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. Just around the corner are Polk and Van Ness Streets both lined with a savory assortment of bites, cocktails and conveniences. Please visit: www.TheMarquee509.com
