497 Vermont St

Once a corner grocery store, this remarkable Potrero Hill residence has been artfully reimagined into a one-of-a-kind compound, blending industrial character with modern comfort. Spanning 3,162 sq. ft. across three levels, this 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is bathed in natural light from its coveted south, west, and east exposures.

The open-concept main level is the heart of the home, where original pinewood floors meet a striking custom-built kitchen outfitted with restaurant-quality appliances. A Metro shelving system enhances both style and function, ensuring effortless access to cookware and dishes. Designed for communal living, the seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas creates an inviting space for gathering and grand-scale entertaining.

A thoughtful reconfiguration seamlessly connects all three levels, with the original front staircase preserving the home’s character while a redesigned rear staircase—once an emergency exit—now serves as a fluid interior link, enhancing both accessibility and flow.

The second floor hosts four spacious bedrooms and a thoughtfully expanded bathroom, its custom flooring a testament to the homeowners' design vision. The top floor is entirely dedicated to the primary suite, a tranquil retreat carved out from a former attic. This loft-like space features an open-concept bathroom, a cozy living area, and a dedicated office nook, offering both privacy and versatility.

The versatile basement level provides ample storage and a workshop tailored for creative pursuits, with direct access to a private courtyard. A parking pad adds to the home’s urban convenience. Perfectly positioned just moments from transportation options and Potrero Hill’s vibrant amenities, this exceptional residence is a true San Francisco gem, blending history, craftsmanship, and modern living.
