One of San Francisco’s Most Iconic Homes Is For Sale

The home’s exterior needs to be cleaned up, but the detailed paint job’s in good shape.

From the wainscoting to the banister to the ceiling medallion to the original hardwood flooring that’s for sure under the laminate, with the right restoration this foyer could be a real showstopper.

The quintessence of a Victorian home are details like bay windows and ornate moulding, and this double parlor does not disappoint. The bay windows create a picturesque view of Alamo Square Park, which is located across the street.

It’s a gamble, but a safe one: we’re sure there’s an ornate mantel under the boarded up fireplace.

Sure, you’ll have to do a major renovation, but the kitchen is spacious and has loads of natural light. A bonus: there’s direct access to a small deck that leads down to the backyard, where you could potentially grow your own veggies and herbs.

Nearly every room has a wall of windows that face west.

Sure, the kitchen needs a complete remodel, but some of the rooms, like this one, just need a hard scrubbing (and refinishing, and painting…).

The top floor of the home is quite large and has two bedrooms and one bathroom

While tiny, it’s still a luxury to have private outdoor access right off of the kitchen. Image the herbs you can grow or parties you can throw.

And needs a ton of work, but at least the square footage is abundant.

Outdoor space is limited in a packed city like San Francisco, so while the backyard in its current form leaves something to be desired, there’s a lot of potential if you partner with the right landscape designer.
