This was a neglected 2-flat Victorian in which the tenant inherited the property from the long-term owner. As the City of San Francisco does not allow combining of residential units, this property was designed with a 2nd dwelling unit but beautifully works as an extended single-family home as well.
The occupant uses the home as a grand 5000 sq. ft. single-family home with sweeping views of downtown San Francisco and the Bay. This fire-damaged home was restored to 21st-century standards with a total of 4000 s.f. and subsequently sold for the highest price ever for a home in the Castro area.
