388 Fulton St #610

Small homes live or die by their design, and #610 was designed down to the inch. The owner put about $50,000 into custom built-ins on the top floor of 388 Fulton, and it shows: this studio does the work of a much bigger home.

What makes it work

• A Zoom Room articulating queen bed that folds away when you need the floor
• A built-in desk with filing storage, made for working from home
• A day bed that opens to a king for guests
• Miele washer and dryer in the unit
• Assigned bike parking, and PG&E bills that stay low because the heat rarely runs

The building

388 Fulton is a six-story, 69-home building from 2016 by David Baker Architects, with a rooftop terrace (outdoor theater, BBQ, fire pit and sun deck), a landscaped courtyard and a virtual doorman. It's a block from Hayes Street and a short walk to the symphony, opera and ballet. There's no car parking, and you won't miss it here.
