The bathroom has updated fixtures and tile in keeping with the home’s character. Downstairs you will find a storage room, bicycle parking area, and laundry.
This residence is conveniently located just a half-block to the vibrant Divisadero Corridor, known for hot spots such as the Mill, the Independent and Beretta.

Neighborhood
Alamo Square is an extraordinarily picturesque neighborhood, centered around its namesake park with rolling lawns, mature trees, a popular dog run, and breathtaking skyline views framed by the world-famous Painted Ladies. The surrounding streets are lined with impeccably preserved Victorian and Edwardian homes—many thoughtfully updated for modern living while retaining their historic character.
Just a short walk away is the lively Divisadero Corridor which buzzes with some of the city’s best local spots. Start your morning with a latte and thick-cut toast at The Mill, enjoy inventive seasonal cuisine at Nopa, or savor wood-fired pizza and craft cocktails at Beretta. As evening sets in, catch a live show at The Independent or unwind with a glass of wine at Bar Part Time.
Head a few blocks east and you’re in Hayes Valley, one of San Francisco’s most stylish enclaves for dining, shopping, and the arts. Patricia’s Green is a bustling public space, reminiscent of what you might see in a European city. This mini-park anchors the entire neighborhood, and is surrounded by boutique shops and destination restaurants—think Rich Table for a special night out, Absinthe Brasserie for pre-opera cocktails, or Suppenküche for hearty German fare. Treat yourself to Smitten Ice Cream, sip a Ritual coffee on a park bench, and take in the neighborhood and its street-life. This area is also known for its world-class cultural institutions like SF Jazz Center, the Conservatory of Music, Davies Symphony Hall, the Ballet, and the Opera, plus Hayes Street’s intimate galleries, infuse the area with world-class creative energy.
1543 McAllister #1 has excellent nearby public transit, bike-friendly streets, and unmatched access to dining, shopping, and culture.
