Grand Nob Hill Residence at The Montaire

It’s easy to perfect the art of living when you live within a work of art. Perched at the top of Nob Hill, 1340 Clay Street, Unit 401 provides a rare opportunity to own one of the award-winning Montaire residences. This well-appointed three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath, single-story condominium features a generously sized private terrace that floods the interiors with natural light. Freestanding on three sides, the residence offers privacy and tranquil garden views. Measured at 2,470 square feet, the sprawling floor plan gives the feeling of living in a single-family home.

Designed by Heller Manus Architects, the boutique 20-unit building blends Old-world charm with modern sophistication. With a smooth indoor/outdoor flow and luxurious touches throughout, no detail has been overlooked.

A luminous living/dining room area can comfortably seat 16 guests for dinner, and the floor-to-ceiling windows open out to a large private terrace. The eat-in kitchen is an elegant marriage of form and function: cozy enough to enjoy your morning coffee, yet large enough for your catering staff, when formal entertaining is de rigueur. The marble counters add a touch of luxury, while the classic white cabinetry keeps life simple and clean. When it’s time for some serious cooking, the stainless steel Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking range, and double wall oven are ready for your most ambitious cooking challenges.

The master bedroom suite is an uncommonly large and luxurious retreat. Large west-facing windows drench the room with ambient afternoon light. Inside is a nicely equipped walk-in closet and an additional custom cabinetry sit-in to retreat and recharge. A spa-like en suite bathroom is clad in marble and has a deep Jacuzzi tub and dual vanity. The suite is completed with French doors leading to the terrace, which feels like a lush, private escape surrounded by greenery.

The second bedroom is also bright, thanks to large windows and French doors which, like those in the master, open to the terrace. The current owners combined the third and fourth bedrooms and converted them into one oversized media room/ library. If you wish to bring these rooms back to their original configuration, this home’s flexible design can accommodate.

This stunning residence offers many special touches: an in-unit laundry, a full second bathroom, a powder room for guests, a private storage room, hardwood floors throughout, radiant heating and parking for two vehicles.

The Montaire is a boutique residential community that benefits from a professionally managed homeowner’s association. Building amenities include 24/7 doorman service, elevator service to all floors and wheelchair accessibility.

1340 Clay Street, Unit 401 is now being offered for $2,587,000. Contact Eric Martin Johnson of Sotheby’s International Real Estate–San Francisco Brokerage at (415) 518-5513 or eric@ericjohnsonsf.com to schedule a showing.
