Streamline Moderne Penthouse on Telegraph Hill
1360 Montgomery Street

Perched high on the coveted eastern slope of Telegraph Hill, adjacent to the Filbert Steps, sits the famous Malloch Building, a spectacular Streamline Moderne architectural masterpiece designed in 1937 by architect Irvine Goldstine.  The facade is decorated with an imposing central design in sand-blasted glass, flanked by forty-foot sgraffitto carvings by Alfred du Pont: Male figures of Discovery and Commerce face one another across time and space, on one of the most beautiful and quiet streets in San Francisco. One of the most recognizable buildings on Telegraph Hill, 1360 Montgomery has been featured in numerous books, magazines, and motion pictures, including the 1947 film noir classic “Dark Passage” starring Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall.

For the first time on the market in over 20 years, this Penthouse is truly one of the city’s most unique apartments, headlining the most stunning views available from the Eastern Slope of Telegraph Hill.   Enter this stylish 1930's apartment, relevant, and up to date, now as then – beginning with the Living Room - featuring a curved wall, fireplace, and a Wet Bar Room with entertainment center, bar refrigerator, and a feature window of glass bricks.  Toward the San Francisco Bay, a wall of sliding glass dissolves boundaries between indoors and out. The large Terrace showcases breath-taking, panoramic views of the Bay Bridge, Treasure Island and East Bay Hills – as well as the Telegraph Hill neighborhood, Coit Tower, and its most famous Green Parrots!  Accessed directly from the Deck or the Living Room is the Formal Dining Room --  complete with custom wood and glass cabinetry, Art deco 1937 etched-glass window, and a uniquely curved, large view window.  A swing door opens to the Kitchen, equipped with modern conveniences, ample cabinetry, a skylight, and Angel Island view.
