For sale for the first time since it was custom-built in 1952, this San Francisco home with no square or rectangular rooms has hit the market.
Open Homes PhotographyPerched on an oversized lot overlooking what might be the best view in San Francisco, this $3.3 million polygonal achievement is one of a kind, and it's for sale for the first time since it was custom-built in 1952.
The architectural geometry of 601 Ortega St. is the work of the award-winning architects Mario Corbett and Stanley Panko. Corbett was a second-generation architect — his father, B. Cooper Corbett, was a Beaux-Arts-educated architect — but after studying at the California School of Fine Arts and traveling in Europe, Corbett’s aesthetic emerged as midcentury modern. A prolific designer of post-war homes in the Bay Area, he often worked with redwood and other Californian materials to create open floor plans bounded by exposed beams and walls of glass.

Together, the duo designed 601 Ortega St. on a 7,226-square-foot lot in Golden Gate Heights, orienting the home so that much of its glass walls face a jaw-dropping view that stretches from Ocean Beach to downtown San Francisco.
