SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jan 27, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) –
230 Ritch Street, an architect’s dream home in the South Beach
neighborhood, is now on the market and represented by Zephyr Real
Estate. Designed by Santos Prescott and Associates under the
direction of Adele Naude Santos, FAIA, it is a splendid amalgam of
beauty and utility.

The home features four spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms in
approximately 2,640 square feet of living space. The master suite
encompasses a full floor complete with a soaring 22-foot ceiling and
a private roof deck. The gourmet eat-in kitchen is appointed with
luxury appliances including a Thermador range with barbecue grill, a
Sub-zero refrigerator and Hansgrohe faucets. At the center of the
home, the double-height living space looks out onto a tropical
courtyard of palm trees that rise three stories high.

A highly-refined proportion and geometry create a home that is filled
with sunlight and space and perfectly blends the outside with the
interior. The structure, built in the 1930s, was originally a
warehouse. At its conversion in 1998, every effort was made to retain
the original sense of space and to utilize the original elements,
such as the large timber beams. “Luxurious materials and finishes
have been added throughout so that the home is a modern
interpretation of the original,” explains Ms. Santos in her
architect’s statement.

Additional features include a mezzanine overlooking the living space,
a private street entrance, private garage parking with internal
access, edge-grain birchwood floors, Miele washer and dryer, Siedle
video intercom and BASWAphon acoustical plaster for sound absorption.
An expansive wall of textured gunite concrete flanks the home’s main
entrance and central staircase.

The home is listed with Seth Skolnick, a Zephyr Top Producer in 2009,
2010 and 2011. In 2004 he founded 46 Degree Properties, devoted
exclusively to the sale of luxury properties of architectural
importance. He is a member in good standing with the San Francisco,
the California and the National Association of REALTORS(R) as well as
