Acclaimed Slanted Door Chef Lists San Francisco Loft with Commercial-Grade Kitchen for $5.5 MillionSource: Sotheby's International Realty

Chef Charles Phan, whose resumé is studded with accolades such as being a two-time James Beard Award winner, has his San Francisco home on the market. Located near Fillmore Street, this loft-style abode is listed for a cool $5.5 million, according to a recent listing on Sotheby's International Realty.

The property at 2232 Bush Street isn't just another high-priced San Francisco living space. It has a fully equipped, commercial-grade kitchen designed by Phan and architect Olle Lundberg.

It is not merely a space for meal prep, but it's where Phan has crafted recipes and shot photographs for his cookbooks. "That's where he tests his recipe on his family, his friends, his kids," Trecia Knapp, an agent with Sotheby's International Realty, told Mansion Global. "It's where he got a lot of this inspiration."

Built in 1919 and stretching a full block from Wilmore to Bush Street, the property comprises over 6,000 square feet of living space, encompassing four bedrooms and a multitude of other amenities. The residence includes a 400-square-foot rooftop deck with views of the city and an open floor plan suitable for entertainment or quiet reflection. Phan, well-known for elevating Vietnamese cuisine with his venture, the Slanted Door, has infused the space with a blend of functionality and style mirroring his unique culinary philosophy.

The sale also includes a ground-floor Italian restaurant, Mattina, by chef Matthew Accarrino, another James Beard Award nominee. The restaurant brings in rental income of approximately $11,000 per month, a nice slice of cash flow for the new owner, as detailed by Mansion Global. The space has housed Phan's family and served as a creative stronghold for his culinary endeavors.

After a previous attempt to sell in 2021 with an asking price of $6.2 million, the Phans have since vacated and refreshed the interior.
