COVER STORY
“In this everchanging world, our home has become our sanctuary, the place we feel safe and one that describes who we are, says Lars Hypko, cofounder with Mary Ta, of MASS Beverly, designers of the interiors of The Grand Penthouse. “We have designed so that The Grand Penthouse interior is connected with the exterior, extending the physical limitations of the architectural shell. With textures and colors, we have softened the feeling into a sophisticated luxurious and comfortable home.”
Featuring nearly 7,000 square feet of living space, this rare home provides generous room for family and entertaining guests. Ceilings soar to reveal unsurpassed views, granting the penthouse generous scale and dramatic volume.
This Grand Penthouse includes a private elevator foyer, wine tasting room and study, an exhibition kitchen and catering kitchen plus four bedrooms and six baths including an indulgent master suite with a pair of spa bathrooms, each commanding spectacular vistas of the ocean and bay.
181 Fremont’s celebrated 39th floor, The Sky Lounge, provides residents with an elegant club atmosphere freshly created by Kendall Wilkinson Designs in which to mingle over a glass of wine at the end of the day, enjoy a concert, watch a movie or host private celebrations. With a catering kitchen and conference room, residents are invited to conduct business in the Sky Lounge, just a few stories from where they live, while the fitness center and yoga room provide inspiring views of San Francisco. The wraparound outdoor observation deck boasts 360 degree views of the water and city skyline.
Homeowners enjoy exclusive amenities including 24hour onsite staffing, concierge services in the Sky Lounge and 24hour valet parking. Floortoceiling windows in every home frame ocean, bay and cityscape views.
