"Originally, 1776 Green St. was an auto works garage, built in Classic Revival style by owner and builder Sven J. Sterner, with help from a carpenter named Charles M. Olson. A historic resource evaluation completed on the property by the San Francisco Planning Department revealed details of the building and its creators, pointing out though neither Sterner nor Olson was an architect, their design for 1776 Green St. has endured "with a high degree of its integrity.""
"Those preserved details are the frame for Unit 201. Its open floor plan and great walls of glass that open fully onto a sunny courtyard from both the living and dining rooms are clever up-cycling of the building's former garage door and auto bay. Along with these connections to the past are features that add contemporary luxury. The kitchen is high-end; baths are spa-like. The 2,920 square feet comprise three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, all of them new."
Built in 1914 as an auto garage in Classic Revival style by Sven J. Sterner, 1776 Green St. retains reinforced concrete, masonry and large arched garage bays. A San Francisco Planning Department evaluation found that, although Sterner and Olson were not architects, their design has endured "with a high degree of its integrity." Those preserved details frame Unit 201, whose open floor plan and walls of glass open fully onto a sunny courtyard, recalling the former garage door and auto bay. The 2,920-square-foot residence includes three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a high-end kitchen, spa-like baths and modern finishes. Sutro Architects led the conversion. Unit 201 is offered for $5.75 million.
