Quite Simply, We’re Completely Crushing On This Craftsman On Cole

1445 Cole: Kitchen

It's has nothing to do with the alliteration in the listing. Quite simply, we're completely crushing on the design, style and architecture of this Craftsman on Cole.

1445 Cole: Dining

And in keeping with the day's theme, the upstairs deck. And yes, there's another off the kitchen.

1445 Cole: Deck

∙ Listing: 1445 Cole Street (3/2) - $1,925,000 [MLS]

No range hood? Is that common? Ours was broken for three weeks recently and it was very unpleasant. More pizza, less cooking...

Atleast they got the task/ambient/access lighting nailed :)

Is the Ruth Asawa in the entryway included?

[Editor’s Note: Another reason we love our readers. They’ve got great eyes (and taste).]

The "hood" is actually directly behind the burners - it pops up out of the counter, and they actually work pretty well.

Those down draft vents are awful; fine as long as you don't cook a steak at maximum heat. No one should put a high BTU stove on an island. It only looks good in pictures and on TV; of course the TV stage has a commercial vent up high with make up air. Otherwise the house is beautiful.

Gorgeous! I love it! I just rather not live in Cole Valley, it gets a bit foggy. But, at that price, I would consider moving out of the sunny Marina district. I still thinking renting is cheaper, though. Rather have my money more diversified.

Love it. Not $1035/sqft-to-live-in-cole-valley-love-it, but definitely a nice spread.

This psf must be the highest in Cole Valley? I thought the two TIC units on Delmar were high, but not like this. I'm tempted by the area, but I'll stay in the Marina for now.

Simply stunning. An amazing space...appears to be really bright inside, especially for a craftsman.

re: cooktop in the island. totally agree it's the wrong place for it. and those downdraft hoods do NOT work very well..this kitchen is mostly about show and not function.

Love it but yeah, that PSFT #is crazy...although if the place uses that psft # really well, then who cares...could argue that as long as the layout is what you need for that psft#, then you are fine.

Cole St. south of 17th gets extra points for location! All the streets around there are extremely attractive, not to mention the proximity to Tank Hill with its amazing views.

They get plus 1,000,000cajillion points for not painting the wood trim white. I'll be very happy when letting wood stay wood colored comes back into style.

I agree that I wouldn't like a downdraft vent/cooktop island for practical reasons, but it looks very pretty here.

PSFT is high, but if you are a craftsman fanatic, your options are somewhat limited in SF.

Posted by: location at May 9, 2008 3:44 PM

...and I am a craftsman fanatic, but alas I only make $140k/year. dangit!

Posted by: location at May 9, 2008 3:48 PM

For that price I would expect much better bathrooms, or at least better photos of them.

And two million dollars and no view?

Posted by: bgelldawg at May 9, 2008 4:41 PM

We should all live so stylishly. And I'd kill for that Ruth Asawa in the front hall.

Posted by: rocco at May 9, 2008 4:54 PM

This place is great. Too rich for my blood, but a very nice place.

Posted by: NoeValleyJim at May 9, 2008 9:19 PM

I prefer this craftsman in the same area

This is absolutely beautiful, and not bad at $1,000/sqft. Great advertising too by this site. Thnx!

Is that a Nevelson in the kitchen?

Is the art and furniture worth more than the house?

Posted by: redseca2 at May 12, 2008 9:27 AM

Yes, that's a Nevelson. I've been in that house. Beautifully done.

The Golden Gate Bridge off the upper deck isn't a view? The yard is KILLER!
