Just off Hyde Street in Russian Hill, 1172 Greenwich is a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom condominium with Bay views, an exclusive-use patio and approximately 1,170 square feet (per graphic artist). The layout includes separate living and dining rooms and a spacious bedroom with direct access to the exclusive-use patio. A built-in window seat gives the living room a place to settle in by the windows and provides additional seating for entertaining. The adjoining dining room has space for a full-size table, and a fireplace and hardwood floors lend warmth to the main rooms. The room is flexible enough to double as a work-from-home space. The updated kitchen is set at the center of the home and opens on two sides, keeping it connected to the living and dining areas. At the end of the hall, the bedroom has a decorative fireplace surrounded by built-in shelving and room for a sitting area or desk. French doors open directly to the exclusive-use patio, where there's space to sit outside and keep a collection of potted plants. One of four residences in the building, the home includes an in-unit washer and dryer, central heat, one car garage parking and a large separate storage unit. Hyde Street's restaurants and cable car are just around the corner, with Polk Street shops and cafs and Francisco Park nearby. Everyday errands are easy on foot: Polk Street's boutiques, independent shops, groceries, wine merchants and salons are a short walk away, and the stores and restaurants of Union Street are close by as well. Beyond the shopping, Russian Hill's quiet, tree-lined streets put North Beach and the Marina within easy reach, with hillside stairways and small parks making the neighborhood feel like a village in the middle of the city.
