The Lambourne- Like The Odeon at Geary and Powell, The brand new Lambourne project is another pied-a-terre building designed for foodies, shopaholics and those who often visit and wish they could stick around awhile. Set three blocks from Union Square at 725 Pine between Stockton and Powell, it’s a stone’s throw from the City’s famous Nob Hill hotels and landmarks like Grace Cathedral, the Powell Street cable car line and Chinatown’s pagoda arch on Grant Avenue.

In its previous life, the Lambourne was a 20-room boutique hotel run by the Joie de Vivre chain. Now converted to 22 one-bedroom and studio units, this brand new project’s aim is to retain the feeling of a boutique Parisian inn, except that the rooms now feature itty-bitty kitchens and a European washer/dryer set.

Prices start in the mid-$300s and push up into the $500K range. A few of the units have little decks. Built in 1920, the building has good architectural bones. I have yet to see the interiors, but my impression is that they have are sleek and contemporary with modern Italian kitchens and Euro-style bathrooms. My suspicion is that none have parking (although it’s a good bet that rental parking by the night or month is available within a block).
