Masonic1421 Avenue One of six units in the historic Fritz Mansion, 1421 Masonic Avenue #53 is a spacious one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo with one-car garage parking, storage, and shared laundry. Originally built in 1891, legend has it that this fully detached and meticulously maintained building was the family home of San Francisco developer Mary Fritz and her son, Eugene. Together, they built what is now Ashbury Heights, one of San Francisco’s most beautiful neighborhoods. The building itself is replete with exquisite vintage detail and surrounded by thoughtful, mature landscaping leading to a marble foyer and a curved stairway up to 1421 Masonic Avenue #53’s entry hall with its ebonized hardwood floors, 11-foot coved ceilings, storage closet, and a crystal chandelier. Just off of the entry hall, the remodeled bathroom features an extra deep shower over tub, a Kohler pedestal sink, Grohe faucets, extra large medicine cabinets, built-in niches, marble tiling, and a large window with a view of the trees outside. The bedroom has a crystal chandelier, coved ceilings, a walk-in closet with an ample second closet, and a set of three outstanding eight foot tall stained glass French doors overlooking the building’s landscaped front garden. The living room also has ebonized hardwood floors and 11-foot coved ceilings along with two large, box-shaped bay windows flanking a carved wood and marble wood-burning fireplace. You’ll enjoy gorgeous views of St. Ignatius church, University of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, the North Bay, and Buena Vista Park — either from inside or from one of two Juliet balconies. With its extra deep farm-style sink, glass mosaic wall tiles, abundant cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and five-burner stove the galley-style kitchen and adjacent floor-to-ceiling custom built-in Neighborhood storage is sure to please. This condo also includes one-car parking, shared laundry, and extra deeded storage. 1421 Masonic #53’s architecture and historic pedigree are impressive, and the elegant and convenient Ashbury Fell Heights neighborhood only add to the Oak J The Panhandle attraction.

LAUNCH 4 Three launch scenarios: Continue Business Planning, Partially-funded, Fully-funded. Staffing and budget sketches. Which types of public-private partnerships can meet the management needs of San Francisco public open spaces? The character of San Francisco can be seen in its myriad public spaces and in the unique ways that we create, care for, and use these places. This report seeks to identify a need and propose a model and a plan to launch a public-private partnership that will elevate our public spaces and the communities that care for them. May 14, 2018 | 3 kearstinkrehbiel.com/conservancy Intro Why? What? Where? Who? GETTY IMAGES Why are public spaces so important? ROBERT COUSE-BAKER/FLICKR PUBLIC SPACES CONNECT US Parks, plazas, and sidewalks are where we meet, relax, play, and express civic values. Public spaces also serve as a critical asset to low-income families and people living in dense neighborhoods. Public spaces provide the opportunity for people to build community in an increasingly divided city, and well-managed public spaces help to build trust in government.

  • First Time San Francisco Visitors Concierge Recommended Checklist
    FIRST TIME SAN FRANCISCO VISITORS CONCIERGE RECOMMENDED CHECKLIST In preparation for your visit to our beautiful city, you may find the following websites informative and helpful: BayCityGuide.com (Sights and Attractions/ City Sights), wheretraveler.com and sfgate.com. Guided City Tour/ Hop on Hop off Bus City Tour In order to acquaint yourself with San Francisco on your first day, you may consider a 3 ½ -4 hour guided city tour, during which a knowledgeable guide will show you the major sights and attractions, while giving you further background on the city’s history and culture. Pick up and drop off – depending on the tour company would be @ the hotel. (Cost of the Guided City Tour is about $49 per adult) Another popular way to discover the city and gain a first overview while having the option to explore different parts and areas of the city would be aboard one of the Hop on/Hop off sightseeing buses (itinerary & discount coupons available @ the Concierge Desk for a couple of the preferred companies/ prices vary slightly depending on the company/ tickets available for 24 and 48 hour periods). No reservations are needed, even though you may experience some wait time during peak season. The closest pick up point to the hotel is located on Union Square. Buses run frequently 7 days a week – depending on the tour company of choice every 15 – 30 minutes between the hours of 9:00am and 5:30/6:00pm, with the first and last bus departing from Fisherman’s Wharf. Touring the city in one of the Hop on/Hop off buses can be a full day affair with you being at liberty to stay on the bus or getting off at either one of the up to 20 assigned stops at the city’s landmarks and re-board the next bus of your choice.
