Building Featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo Hits the Market

Alfred Hitchcock is wildly regarded as one of the most influential filmmakers in history and with his eye for detail it is no wonder he chose the mystifying, romantic San Francisco as the perfect backdrop for his critically acclaimed 1958 film Vertigo. Possibly one of the most distinctive landmarks in the film is that of Ernie’s restaurant, in Jackson Square, with its stunning brick façade and romantic atmosphere. Ernie’s, which has now been converted into luxury apartments, was one of Hitchcock’s very own hangouts. Now the incredible opportunity to live within this unique piece of film history presents itself as a unit has hit the market asking $2.1 million.

Though the exterior may represent that of old Hollywood, interiors boast a completely renovated, contemporary floor plan. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom home holds distinctive character with architectural details such as original, exposed brick walls and striking steel-beams. The combined living room and dining area offers ample space for entertaining, with a built-in bar, and a wine fridge. Off the great room, a private patio offers a lush oasis to enjoy the urban living. The master suite exudes luxury with plenty of storage and a grand en-suite bathroom, with radiant floor heating, a floating walnut vanity, and a separate soaking tub.

The listing for this unique residence, which was first reported by Curbed, is held by Neill Bassi of Sotheby’s International Realty.
