Every now and then, I get to share something truly special (although I have sold many units at 1 Ecker).
The building itself has a great backstory. It started its life as an ice house back in 1906, and when it was converted to lofts in 2010, the developers did it right. They kept the brick-and-steel soul of the place, and now you have the chance to call it yours.



















This corner unit, #205, really benefits from that history. The ceilings are over 11 feet high, giving it a feeling of volume that’s hard to find. The original brick walls and big, arched windows aren’t just details; they define the space. The light just hits differently in here. The layout is smart, too. The two bedrooms are on opposite sides of the loft, so you’re not right on top of each other.
The main living area opens right up, making it a great space for having people over. The kitchen is outfitted with Cesarstone countertops, a Bertazzoni range, Miele dishwasher, and double-door stainless Fisher & Paykel refrigerator. Here’s a good detail: while it has a convection cooktop, the gas line is already plumbed. That’s a thoughtful touch for anyone who really loves to cook.
The practical side of living here is really solid. The monthly HOA dues ($1,006.26 for 2025) cover more than just the basics. That payment includes water, trash, and even the super-fast Google Fiber internet. They also handle all the building maintenance, from washing the exterior windows to keeping the rooftop grills ready to go. It’s nice knowing all of that is taken care of.
This isn’t just another condo. It’s a solid piece of old San Francisco, repurposed for the way we live now. If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, give me a call. Let’s get you in before everyone else gets the chance.
