DESCRIPTION
A landmark on the summit of Russian Hill, the Royal Towers building is a commanding presence steeped with an array of on-site amenities for luxurious living. Residence 1202 has been transformed by renowned architect Cass Calder Smith into a sophisticated, open concept floor plan that takes full advantage of world-class views across the City, Bay, and out to the Golden Gate Bridge. Edge-of-the-world vertical panes of glass – in the living areas and both bedrooms – extend all the way to the floor for a seamless connection to the outdoors. An observation balcony spans one side of the residence for fresh air, close-up enjoyment of the dramatic views of downtown San Francisco.
The one-of-a-kind residence is designed with oak floors and walls in rift cut white oak with a horizontal grain that contrasts with the vertical grain veneer of the kitchen cabinetry. Granite slab and stainless steel add to the minimalist, clean-lined design and imbedded steel tracks on the paneled walls add subtle functionality for hanging fine art. This highly desirable residence has 2 bedrooms, one currently customized as an office, and 2 luxuriously appointed bathrooms. Adding the finishing touches at this sought-after address are the lifestyle amenities the Royal Towers has to offer. A state-of-the-art gym with sauna and outdoor heated pool provide a “no excuses” healthy standard of living right at your doorstep while the 24-hour staffed entrance and secure garage parking provide peace of mind.
