theFrontSteps – San Francisco

[Update 7/12/07...SOLD...$14,000,000!!] Since its neighbor at 3100 Pacific was asking $15,000,000, received 2 offers and just closed escrow for a price we’re not disclosing, it is only fitting the other newest new home in Pacific Heights, 3130 Pacific right next door, should come on the market too (hit MLS).   It is asking a bit less than 3100 Pacific, and [...]

We had so much fun comparison shopping with 2901 Broadway (the $55,000,000 listing we have here in San Francisco), we thought why not do a drive by and scare the ___ out of the Gettys and Ellison, and Trainas, who live on this block? Not that kind of drive by, but a Google drive by, with [...]

The teensy weensy 790 square foot “condo alternative” at 99 Surrey in Glen Park that had all the blogs abuzz, has sold. Asking $599,000 sold for $573,000 or $725/square foot. It did also have “RH-2 lot with renderings of contemporary 2 unit building with parking”, so we’re thinking we’ll be hearing about this in a [...]

Following up to our previous post about 1326-28 15th Avenue (awesome before shots, so make sure to click that link), we know it received multiple offers, and it is scheduled to close June 4th, 2007.  We thought we’d do another little wager. We’re staying out of this one. We leave it up to you. Here [...]

Previously, we posted about 1771 North Point, and at the time we promised not to disclose the asking price, only had a link to a temporary website, and only had photos that we had taken ourselves. Ahhh, but now we have more. They are, in fact, asking $4,995,000.  The home is 6 bedrooms, 6 baths, [...]

We were just forwarded this by a reader and thought some others may want the chance at it. Our favorite quote, which shouldn’t go un-noticed simply for the fact that the mainstream media is saying it, “…because you thought the real estate market had peaked.” We assume this means others are catching on to what [...]

Ever hear the Jane’s Addiction song, “L.A. Medley”? If not, you should. We recently discovered zūm llc as the company that has done some 3D renderings for some of the new developments around town (The Potrero, Blū, Fairmont Heritage Place at Ghirardelli Square, 733 Front Street) and we decided they are deserving of our first [...]
