780 Joost Ave

Tucked away on an exceptionally quiet street in the Sunnyside neighborhood, 780 Joost Avenue offers a rare blend of cozy cabin warmth and convenient San Francisco living. Designed by beloved San Francisco architect Albert Lanier, partner to renowned artist Ruth Asawa, this one-of-a-kind residence reflects a deeply personal, craft-driven approach to architecture. Built with an artful mix of reclaimed materials, including salvaged vintage doors and windows, and grounded by rich redwood paneling, the home carries a sense of warmth, texture, and history throughout. Its thoughtful design and south-facing exposure bring in steady natural light throughout the day, filling the interiors with a soft, architectural glow. The layout begins on the first floor, a level designed for seamless indoor-outdoor flow. It features three comfortable bedrooms, all of which lead directly to outdoor spaces. The largest of these rooms is a versatile space that can easily transition into a secondary living area depending on your needs; it opens directly onto a massive, sun-drenched deck that acts as a private outdoor oasis. A full bathroom and a dedicated laundry room complete this level. Upstairs, the second floor opens into a sprawling, open-concept heart of the home. The kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together under a wash of natural light enhanced by skylights and thoughtfully placed interior openings that allow light to travel fluidly throughout the space, framed by end-to-end sliding glass doors that open to a private south-facing balcony. The kitchen is full of character and highly functional, featuring a large walk-in pantry that provides an abundance of storage, while a discreet half-bath serves the floor. The entire third level is dedicated to the primary suite, offering a true penthouse retreat. In addition to the spacious bedroom and full bathroom, you'll find an extra-large walk-in closet and a flexible den, a quiet nook ideal for a home office, library, or meditation space. Combining a cozy cabin vibe with a bright, open layout, 780 Joost is a unique sanctuary for those looking to escape the city's pace with convenience and comfortable living. As featured in Sunset Magazine, the home exemplifies a timeless approach to light and space, where natural light moves effortlessly from room to room enhancing both openness and intimacy throughout. A rare opportunity to live in a piece of San Francisco's architectural and artistic legacy.
