Tasteful friends: Sold three years ago, but a beautiful apartment with beautiful views

A Streamline Moderne building on Montgomery Street in San Francisco. It was used in the film noir classic 'Dark Passage" starring Bogart and Bacall.

Stunning.

A $1.5MM 1 BR - SF is out of control. Really limited to millionaires only now. Thank God for rent control. But even with that, the fact that the city is now almost homogeneously super wealthy makes it so much less interesting. If I owned, I would probably sell and live a simple, low stress life on the proceeds visiting a few times a year.

Amazing views. I would buy it but renovate the ugly ass blue bathroom in a heartbeat.

Seriously? You couldn't just change out the toilet seat?

Heathen.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting, OP.

I like the blue bathroom. And the Bay Bridge views are wonderful. Must be so romantic at night when it's lit.

Very nice. Even if not at all my style, and I dislike the kitchen, and especially dislike the low ceilings, it's difficult not to imagine that maybe it could be right, for a while at least.

The building featured so importantly in the film. Between the architecture and the location and the views, the $1.5M doesn't surprise me at all for a (large) one-bedroom. It doesn't seems poor value.

Would that neighborhood be considered Telegraph Hill?

r3 - the blue bathroom is great. I love period details.

I just saw the movie for the first time a couple months ago. I thought it was a great apartment then and I love it even more now.

The views of the bridge and Coit Tower alone are worth $1.5 million. You could throw a tennis ball from the deck and hit Coit Tower.

That apartment would be like living in an old classic movie and I love it. I would feel like Joan Crawford in Sudden Fear. How magical.

R8, I believe so. Telegraph Hill.

Somehow, it would feel wrong to get rid of the blue toilet. You either have to embrace the style of that apartment or find something else.

The views and the building itself are goreous. I don't think that it's a high price for a landmark building, with those views in a city like San Francisco. They don't make them like that anymore! Since this is DL. I do find the wooden toilet seat particularly hideous, reminding me of a basement rec room in the 70's. Everything else is spot on.

That’s a great old film . Agnes Moorhead as “the pest” is very evil and awesome. Her face was incredible.

Love the front door with the smaller doors for the milkman and other deliveries.

It would put a smile on my face every morning to brush my teeth at that blue sink. It's a luxury to own something unique and special in this disposable and mass-produced world.

The only thing I would change are the 4 blue trim tiles above the bathroom sink - those don’t look right, and I doubt they’re original. And the toilet seat, maybe have one made in that shade of blue.

The Tamalpais building, where the Agnes Moorhead character lived, is still there too.
