1695 Sutter Street

This top-floor, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo in a 2-unit building is one of a cluster of late-19th-century structures still standing at the corner of Sutter and Laguna. The lower unit, once Weldon's Grocery, was a mainstay of the neighborhood for decades. The decorative Italianate elements seen on the upper level are all original, while the lower level of the facade was changed by a developer in the late 1980s to mimic the original design, when the building was converted to two units. The current owners have called 1695 Sutter home since 1988. The location is amazing, sitting on the cusp of Japantown, and close to groceries, restaurants, shops, and transportation. Lafayette Park and Peace Plaza are both steps away, while Fillmore Street and Hayes Valley are likewise within walking distance.
