New building permits have been filed for a small four-story infill at 701 San Bruno Avenue in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood. The application looks to replace a single-family residence with a much larger home and an in-law unit. Vadim Kogan is listed as the property owner.

The proposed 41-foot-tall house is expected to yield around 5,260 square feet, almost double the size of the existing home. The ground-floor accessory dwelling unit will be a one-bedroom apartment with access to a private patio. The primary house will include three bedrooms and two rooftop decks. Parking will be included for a car and two bicycles.

Carlos Alfaro is listed as the project architect. Illustrations offer a glimpse into the potential design for the site, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass, bay windows, and a top-floor setback. Facade materials include Hardie Plank siding and a concrete or stucco cladding.

Public records show the property last sold in early November 2024 for $1.57 million. According to a historic resource review, the wood-frame structure was built in 1907 with a front gable, flat roof, and vinyl cladding installed in 2001.

    Looks like a 1990s-era live work loft for a Russian oligarch. So charming, just like San Francisco is now.
