Property Description

This remarkable mixed-use property grants its owners the pleasure of nearly 5,000 square feet of flexible live and work space coupled with expansive private outdoor spaces. Set in a brilliantly designed and functional modern format, the home and work spaces were impeccably reimagined in 2010 by FARM architects, creating a unique hybrid residence in a coveted SoMa location.

This urban oasis employs a thoroughly modern, mixed-materials aesthetic to deliver clean lines and enormous open, adaptable spaces throughout. Brazilian walnut and poured concrete flooring run underfoot, while soaring ceilings dotted with custom lighting rise overhead. Oversized factory windows and walls of glass usher in light and air on every level.

Throughout the second-floor main living space, white beamed ceilings create a sense of rhythm and flow between sunny exposures at both ends. A large living room is placed near the professional-grade open kitchen, beautifully equipped with stainless steel appliances, sleek white cabinetry and a massive butcher-block island/breakfast bar. There's ample room for large dinner parties, and nearby, Fleetwood doors open completely to the 437-square-foot patio — the perfect spot for al fresco dining surrounded by a handsome slat walls and topped by a shady trellis. The full bathroom on this level is a tranquil escape graced by rows of meticulously placed glass mosaic tile and an electrified glass skylight that switches to opaque at the flick of a switch. A modular moving wall reveals a large bedroom sunlit by bright windows along the southeast exposure.

Stairs to the upper level are formed by cut Douglas Fir, flanked by custom handrails and topped by glass walls that expose the upper entertaining deck. The serene top-floor master suite delivers the epitome of private indoor-outdoor living. Slat paneling conceals wide walls of closet space, and an en suite bathroom showcases a freestanding tub/shower and wide, custom floating vanity with Hansgrohe fixtures all tucked behind a space-saving barn door. Another oversized Fleetwood glass door opens to the stunning 747-square-foot roof deck featuring wall-to-wall Ipe detailing, artfully placed landscaping and breathtaking city views.

On the home's lower level, you'll find 1,809 square feet of flexible open space ready to cater to your specific needs. Currently configured as a beautifully designed office or co-working space, this level could also serve as a screening room, full-scale gym, or the perfect space for incubating the next breakthrough technology. An indoor parking space, half bathroom and large laundry room complete this level, while integrated sound and Sonos speakers run indoors and out. Ethernet connectivity adds convenience on all three floors.

Located in the heart of the SoMa District, 170-172 Clara is conveniently located near some of San Francisco’s most sought-after shopping areas, phenomenal restaurants, and effortless access to public transportation.
