Tri-level 1906 townhome creatively redesigned by award-winning architect Donald MacDonald.

Architect Donald MacDonald’s vision of affordable and livable housing comes alive in this charming row house on a tree-lined street South of Market. In the 1990s, MacDonald, known for his innovative designs, transformed several adjacent homes on Langton Street into contemporary spaces, while maintaining their original turn-of-the-century facades.134 Langton is a 1,000-square-foot loft-like home with a flexible floor plan on three levels, able to accommodate a range of individual and/or family needs.

A short flight of hardwood stairs leads up from the entry level to the first spacious room, currently used as a master bedroom and office. A full bath completes this floor. A second flight of stairs leads to a high-ceilinged open living/dining/kitchen area, warmed by a wood-burning fireplace and tiled floors. The kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, new countertops and island. The final flight of stairs leads to a good-sized flexible space with ½ bath that could be used as a bedroom, office, studio, or media room. A small private deck is accessed from this floor, providing views of the downtown skyline. Ample closets and storage space are found throughout. A small deeded garden is reached via an outside entry.

Langton Street provides a quiet retreat, just steps away from the hustle and bustle of Seventh and Folsom—the heart of a trendsetting dining and nightlife district. The surrounding neighborhood offers hip new restaurants, quirky coffee shops, gourmet street food, dog-friendly parks, and grocery stores like Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods. Langton Street is famous for its murals, including the recently restored “Frisco’s Wild Side,” a psychedelic vision of San Francisco painted by the Precita Eyes Mural Arts foundation. Yerba Buena Park, the Museum of Modern Art, BART and downtown shopping are all in walking distance. With easy access to US 101, 280 and 80, as well as public transit, South of Market living provides unlimited opportunities and conveniences.
