This post makes me feel like a total moron for not investing in SF real estate back in the day. Too worried busy about being a Hippy-Dippy IDIOT.

3,162 square foot 1 bath Grand Queen Anne Victorian built in 1903. Last sold for $44,500 in 1972. Currently valued at about $3.6 million.

Get this, the city values this property at $96,176 (Prop 13 beneficiary). Property taxes are 1,137 PER YR!!

A permit check did not reveal any major remodeling other than kitchen and bath. To date, it does not appear that there are any bath additions.

Sorry to say this, but this Queen is a prime candidate for a gut renovation which essentially says "fixer".

Albert Farr designed 8,368 square foot 7 bedroom 9 bath French Normandy Chateau with iconic views, built in 1929-1930 for the Guggenhime family. Last sold for $18 million in 2014, $3 million below the original list price of $21 million.

This property hosted the 2010 Designer Showcase.

Cost to build was about $32K. Albert Farr's design was inspired by Henry IV's Place de Vosges in Paris.

This historic part of the city of Paris is made beautiful by the stunning architectural ensemble of buildings that surround what was the first prestigious square designed for combining residential, commercial and public purposes at Paris.

Aesthetically they are highly appealing with their steeply pitched roofs and red brick and stone format with arcaded galleries underneath. The stunning gardens attached contain rows of pleached trees setting off the architectural style.

The area is an important aspect of the city today and the vision and legacy of one man, King Henry IV [1553-1610], the Great. He restored France to peace, strong monarchy and stable government and set about reviving an interest in learning, the arts, as well as rending great public works when he ascended the throne.
