1808 Bush St, Lower Pacific Heights

c. 1975 Before garage

3,875 square foot Italianate Victorian duplex built in 1874. Last sold for $1.63 million in 2002. Current market value is about $2.8 million.

Aesthetically, the sidesaddle driveway and garage are less distracting than the usual glommed-on-to-the-front configuration. Permit records indicate that the garage as added in 2008 as part of a major renovation.

A permit check revealed the following: HORIZONTAL ADDITION AT 2ND FLOOR/GARAGE AT 1ST FLOOR WITH NEW ROOF DECK/NEW FOUNDATION AND DRIVEWAY AND RETAINING WALL/NEW KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS/REBUILD 2ND UNIT WHICH WAS ILLEGALLY REMOVED BY PREVIOUS OWNER (2008). Cost: $350K.

Not a big fan of the color.
