Featuring big Coit Tower views and both indoor and outdoor perches from which to watch boulders (or condos) roll down Telegraph Hill, the 1,784 square foot condo #2202 at 611 Washington Street was purchased for $2,668,000 in June of 2007.
Built as a one, the now two-bedroom is back on the market and listed for $2,200,000, eighteen (18) percent below its 2007 sale.
And yes, we know the most recent boulders rolled down the other side of the Hill.

The floor plan seems to be missing windows along the top edge…
hehe, i thoguht the same thing. i think they were just lazy and cranked something out in microsoft word. that said, this is my kind of place!
Wow, can’t help but compare this with the more expensive unit at ORH. Actually, no comparison for me. I’d choose this one in a heartbeat.
Yeah, this place seems so much better than the place recently posted at One Rincon Hill.

Kinda weird that guests have to use the master shower, but otherwise it looks beautiful.
• HOA Dues: $1,928.
• Price/ft.²: $1,233.
The place at One Rincon Hill mike mentioned above is a 3Br/3BA at $1,206 per ft.² with HOA dues of $882, so I guess it comes down to your view of the neighborhood and bldg. differences.
One thing to note: I believe the patio would not be included in the square footage calculation. I wonder what the amenities are that they are basing the HOA rate at?
“not ORH” has to be worth something.
it’s great to see high end properties selling at nice sized discounts.
The HOA thing always amazes me.
I figure that for a SFR, you need to put somewhere between 1-3% of the replacement cost of the building in a rainy-day fund — if you don’t spend it for a few years, you let it bank up and then the new roof/foundation repair/new paint/general pre-emptive maintenance/etc… gets paid for without drama.
Of course, most people don’t account for this so their places get more and more rundown the longer they live there, and then get shocked by their place coming down around them.
A ‘high’ HOA, especially in a building that has been running sustainably for a number of years, means that the owners are fully funding its maintenance.
Is there no laundry in the unit?
You guys seem to have a hard time with these blueprints..
Laundry is lower left, next to kitchen across from closet.
Master bath has tub and shower. Second bath has shower.
what came first? toilet or the walls?
Justlooking,
That’s the way I like answers, thorough and a bit deranged. 🙂
If I had a FAU, I’d want it to open in the HW.
