3233 Pacific Ave, Presidio Heights

Bernard Maybeck designed 3,706 square foot eclectic style home built in 1909. Last sold for $4.701 million in 2003.

During Maybeck’s long career he designed over 150 buildings in California, the majority of them being houses in Berkeley, but with several in San Francisco. Two of the earliest, in 1909, were in Presidio Heights - a townhouse for Samuel Goslinsky at 3233 Pacific (pictured above) and the much larger Tudor-style corner house for Leon Roos at 3500 Jackson, now San Francisco Landmark #56.

C.F. WHITTLESEY designed 4,120 square foot Tudor Revival FIXER built in 1912. Currently listed for $5.295 million. This home has been in serious decline for many years as is evidenced by the interior/exterior photos. The list price, however, seems to ignore the derelict condition of the property. Presidio Heights currently commands about $1,306 per square foot or $5.4 million which is only 100K more than the current ask. It'll be interesting to see what it sells for.

In his autobiography, “Deal: My Three Decades of Drumming, Dreams, and Drugs With the Grateful Dead,” founding drummer Bill Kreutzmann looks back at his life with the band. In this excerpt, he remembers life at 710 Ashbury Street....Our place on Ashbury Street was the same boarding house where (band managers Rock) Scully and (Danny) Rifkin first set up the band’s office, while managing both the band and the house. It was no coincidence that when we needed to leave Camp Lagunitas for the real world, rooms there mysteriously began to open up until we took over the entire building. “We knew the management.” And that’s how 710 Ashbury became the Grateful Dead house.

There was another Victorian across the street, at 715 Ashbury Street that, while not nearly as famous, is still a part of the story. Sue Swanson and Ron Rakow, both eventual Grateful Dead employees, lived there. So did Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse, the famous psychedelic poster artists who did several of our album covers and whose art remains a big part of our identity today — most notably the “Skull and Roses” image. Also of note: 715 became somewhat of a nest for Hells Angels. So you had the Grateful Dead on the one side of that street, and the Hells Angels on the other. Kinda a nice juxtaposition....(SFGate 6/23/15)
