Experience timeless elegance at The Redstone, one of Russian Hill's most iconic and prestigious condominium buildings. Located at 1450 Greenwich Street, San Francisco, CA 94109, this 1928 Spanish Mediterranean Revival masterpiece was designed by renowned architect Henry Clay Smith, famously known as "The Hillside Architect" for his exceptional talent in designing elegant structures on San Francisco's challenging hillside terrain.
Built in 1928, The Redstone stands as a testament to architect Henry Clay Smith's mastery of period revival architecture and hillside construction. Smith, who studied at the University of Pennsylvania and trained under James Hamilton Windrim, became notorious throughout San Francisco for his signature ability to site buildings on the city's steep, uneven topography. The Redstone's distinctive terracotta red facade showcases classic Spanish Mediterranean and Mission Revival architectural details that Smith executed with spectacular visual effect.
Perched atop a steep bluff that elevates each floor higher into the sky, The Redstone features a stunning grand entrance lobby with Spanish-styled design elements, elegant period details, and sophisticated craftsmanship throughout. This boutique building contains just 24 exclusive condominium residences, creating an intimate community of long-term residents where units rarely become available.
The Redstone residences showcase timeless Arts & Crafts style interiors with signature architectural elements including exposed ceiling beams, rounded archways, hardwood floors, custom moldings, wood-burning fireplaces with adobe-styled Mission design, built-in shelving, and bespoke design details. Homes feature gracious, spacious layouts with high ceilings, oversized rooms, and large windows on multiple exposures providing abundant natural light and stunning views.
Each residence includes charming private balconies or patios accessible through French doors, offering perfect outdoor spaces for relaxation and entertaining.

Unit sizes are approximately 900 square feet, offering efficient yet elegant living spaces.
