A TIC that may be up your alley March 26th, 2008

alley.jpgSomeone in my office has a buyer in contract on the upper unit of a two unit building on an alley street in the Inner Mission (good block). We are looking for a partner for the lower (vacant unit). It is a giant unit with almost 2000 sq. ft, semi remodeled. with three bedrooms and 1.5 baths and two car parking.

The list price is $774K but there is a lot of room for negotiations. They really want to sell. If this sound like it’s up your alley (no pun intended) please call me at 415-577-0809 right away!

Coming Soon– One Bedroom Condo in Unique, Historic Park Hill Building January 26th, 2008

park-hill-_310-ext.jpgSee featured listings for more details. . . more photos will be up by Tuesday.

A Few Fast Facts about the Park Hill Condominiums in San Francisco:

1. Park Hill’s buildings were once  a hospital and convent built by Orthodox nuns. The project is now on the state’s registry of historic buildings.

2. The original architects were Baker and Bidwell. Between them they also designed Coit Tower, the San Francisco Art Institute on Russian Hill and Temple Emmanuel at the edge of Presidio Heights.

3. A third building on the property is a chapel which has been left largely intact. It’s worth a visit just to see the rose window.

4. Converted to condos in 1986, most of the units are one-bedrooms. Some two bedrooms sit either end of the hospital building with dramatic views, and there are a handful of small loft units at the site’s southwest corner.  

5. The convent building appears briefly in Hitchcock’s Vertigo, as the sanitorium where Scottie (played by Jimmy Stewart ) recuperates from his nervous breakdown
