‘A rare architectural gem’

New Potrero Hill trilevel has stunning views

Dramatic new construction sprouts from the northern slope of Potrero Hill. Here on Rhode Island Street, a luxurious trilevel offers dynamic vistas, upscale finishes and inviting outdoor spaces.

“This is a rare architectural gem with sweeping city views that’s steps from the design district,” said Justin Fichelson of Sotheby’s International Realty, who is listing 548 Rhode Island St. for $4.495 million. “It’s perfect for a commuter for its quick access to freeways to Silicon Valley.”

The home opens to a turned hardwood staircase. A pane of glass stretching from floor to ceiling stands beside the first few steps as a thin baseboard traces along the opposite side.

The show-stealing great room features a gleaming kitchen and panoramic views of downtown San Francisco. Twelve- and 16-foot sliding glass panels connect the great room to a wraparound view deck, affording guests and residents true indoor/ outdoor living.

Red cedar decking complements the city’s rolling banks of white fog and azure blue sky.

A Calcutta marble island with waterfall edges anchors the kitchen as professional appliances handle the workload. Discreet hardware lines the custom cabinetry as a bank of windows look out at the gleaming city skyline.

Wide-plank white oak flooring spans the great room as recessed lighting helps illuminate the space.

Located on the second floor, the master bedroom includes a walk-in closet and a sitting area that steps out to the backyard. A floating dual vanity lingers above a herringbone-patterned marble floor in the master bathroom, while the glass shower features a rain head. The shower culminates with a frosted glass picture window that affords privacy while welcoming sunlight into the space.

Tall privacy fencing wraps around the terraced backyard that includes a mature shade tree and a raised lawn. A concrete patio provides a platform for al fresco dining as large boulders lend their craggy texture to the landscape.
