4,500 square foot 5 bedroom 4.5 bath gut renovated interior with restored exterior Italianate Victorian built about 1865. Last sold for $3.355 million in 2012. Currently valued at about $7 million.

In 2009 this house was in very poor condition. A permit search revealed that major renovations occurred 2011-2012.

Honestly, there are other ways to design a garage entry without it looking like the main design feature of an otherwise classic Victorian.

TRIVIA
❂❂❂❂❂❂❂❂❂❂❂

1836 Pine Street has...a mighty impressive music history. Built for composer Frederick Zech back in 1865, the house was often used for small concerts. The tradition raged on when light show artist Bill Ham managed the building as apartments in the 1960s. Known as the "Pine Street Commune," artists and musicians rented out every room, including members of The Charlatans and Janis Joplin when she returned to town to join Big Brother. Ham practiced his now-famous light show in the basement, where Bay Area bands would hold impromptu shows before playing venues like the Avalon Ballroom and Fillmore West. In 1967, it was home to the amazingly-named Mystic Research Foundation/Northern California Psychedelic Cattleman's Association, who had early ties with concert-promotion company the Family Dog.
