Reader Reports: 85 Beaumont Gone Fast (Like In Six Days)

From a reader:

[Eighty-five Beaumont] went for a little under asking.
Lone mountain location.

Good deal?
Lots of pictures.

Maybe you will want to feature it!

Thanks!

PS: I am not an agent.

It’s a good thing you’re not an agent. Can’t tell you if it is a good deal until you tell us what it’s selling for. Some people’s definition of “a little under asking” is different than others. It looks like a good deal, but maybe it’s actually a great deal.

For those that are wondering, this is a 3 bed, 2 bath home in the very desirable Lone Mountain district of San Francisco. The last recorded sale was in 2001 for $725,000 and today’s asking price is $1,198,000. It has not actually closed escrow as of today, but the status is “pending”, which means things are looking good. It went into contract after six days on the market. That’s not too shabby.

[Update: Sold at asking with $4000 credit to buyer.]

Adios Coronet!

It took them ages to get there, but they’ve finally destructed the Coronet Theater on Geary St. “This Streamline Moderne cavern is San Francisco’s Church of the Big-Budget Blockbuster. Both “Star Wars: Special Edition” and “Phantom Menace” made their debuts here, with people camping for weeks in the dumpster-strewn parking lot. Despite its massive appeal, gigantic screen, and state-of-the-art sound system, the Coronet was closed in March 2005 and is slated to be razed for a senior-care facility.”

The facility, the Institute on Aging is now officially under construction and doing some heavy destruction:

If you hurry, you might still be able to project a few hand shadow dogs and bunnies, maybe even a butterfly, on the big screen.

Thanks to our reader, AC, for sending the photos!
