Have Some Fun With It…

373 Franconia has giant views and consists of a TON of house (2426 sq. ft. of house). The home has been on the market for 9 days and according to the agent, they have already accepted an offer. The house feels like it goes on for ever and while walking through it, we found a couple of large rooms that were nothing but raw space. What would you turn the rooms into? Half-court basketball court? Mini-roller rink? Plush home-theater? Extra bedrooms? Wine storage? S&M room? Shooting range?

c’mon, don’t be shy….

60th and Last

Taller than the Washington Monument, shinier than a bunch of diamonds and flimsier (in the wind or in an earthquake) than some real estate agents’ ethics…

One Rincon Hill is all grown up. It has elevated to most of its glory as the 60th and last floor of concrete was just poured. Currently, the cement core of the building is still exposed at the top and the glass does not reach higher than 50 floors, but the building is 482 feet above the street and will be capped off in about a month at 605 feet. The “glass curtain” is what the hard working folks at 1 Rincon are currently working on.

900 Minnesota Street; interiors & finishes

900 Minnesota Street a.k.a. Homes on Esprit Park is a project that is blending the history of the Dogpatch neighborhood with stylish design while creating a low impact on the environment. This is being accomplished by converting an existing structure (In 1906 the structure was built to be the Schilling Wine Sellers and was later used as the Esprit company headquarters) and by careful choice of materials. Additinally, the developers are planning for commercial business and open space, making this project a welcome addition to the Central Waterfront.

The folks over at the marketing department for the Homes on Esprit Park have unveiled some new detailed images of what the project and units will look like and it’s definitely worth a peak. We’ve included links to individual units below.

The sales office is expected to open in early autumn at 900 Minnesota Street.

We’ll keep you posted with further developments.

Appreciation and then SOME!

3 years ago 1826 Filbert St sold for $1,147,000. (March of ‘04) to be exact. It’s back on the market now listed at $1,795,000!

Ready for this – new kitchen and new bath. Those typically net some nice returns — but to the tune of $17,000 per month of ownership? That better be some damn nice granite and the best water pressure in the city!

To be continued … I’ll keep my eye on this property and report back when and if it closes.

If You Had Twelve and a Half Million Dollars…

3130 Pacific Ave
Price: $12,495,000

Fully detached, brand new, custom designed, highly detailed Arts & Crafts home on the Presidio Wall. This home is comfortable, stunning, quiet, quaint, and despite the fact that it has a home theater, elevator to all floors, radiant heated hardwood floors, audio/visual system with built-in speakers in most rooms, Smart Wire for phone, video and computer networking, terraces, gardens with automatic sprinkler systems, wine cellar and many more modern amenities, it feels like home and it feels like it’s been there for years. Amazingly well done. Now, if I only had $13 million dollars…

[update: this property has been on the market for 7 days. As of today (6/6) somebody not only made an offer on this property, but it got accepted. Not only did this offer get accepted, the status went straight to Pending, so I would assume it's a contingency free offer.]

compare that to:

2266 Vallejo Street
Price: $12,975,000

I’ll start by saying this home has the best bath(tub) in San Francisco. The house is large, beautifully detailed, has an elevator, six bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms, and is a steel framed panoramic view home. The home has 5 levels and no required bearing walls inside the structure. Materials in this building are truly quality–nothing was spared and there are views for miles.

If you had $12.5 million to spend on a house, which would you buy?
