San Francisco | $1.599 Million

A condominium loft with two bedrooms and one bathroom

Rex Ray, the San Francisco pop artist and designer, once owned this second-floor condo in the Allied Box Factory, a 1907 timber warehouse that was converted into 31 live-work lofts in 2001. On Folsom Street, in the center of the Mission District, it shares a block with art studios, salons, a wholesale leather supplier, an “intuitive counselor” whom SF Weekly newspaper named San Francisco’s best psychic of 2009 and the headquarters of Killing My Lobster, a sketch comedy company. At least one person occupying the condo must be an artist.

Size: 1,500 square feet

Price per square foot: $1,066

Indoors: The home comprises two units: a one-bedroom loft and a space across the hall that could be used as a studio, office or spare sleeping area. The main portion consists of a great room with hardwood floors, high ceilings and two sets of French doors opening to a large deck. Unfinished columns and beams set off an elegant kitchen with walnut cabinets, Caesarstone quartz countertops, high-end appliances and a marble-and-walnut island.

A gridded free-standing bookshelf to the left of the entrance currently serves as a partition for the bedroom. A large closet was created with sliding translucent doors, and the adjacent bathroom has mosaic-tile walls, a combined tub and shower and a metal vessel sink.

The bonus room across the hall is entered through a door with a large, central glass panel, as in an office. The room is long and narrow, with hardwood floors and multiple windows.
