3,200 square foot 5 bedroom 3 bath First Bay Tradition style ** built around 1900. Last sold for $1.4 million in 1989. Market value is about $3.5 million.
The shapely bargeboard hints at a bit of Moorish influence.
**Transplants from the East Coast may think of these as Cape Cod style, and its popularity was due to those houses popping up in magazines at the time. Starchitect Willis Polk was the style’s most notable utilizer in San Francisco. Along with Julia Morgan and Bernard Maybeck, the style took its own San Francisco life with the First Bay Region Tradition (though that’s pushing the line on Victorian period and entering Edwardian territory). You can find these in Russian Hill and Presidio Heights, as well as the Oakland and Berkeley Hills. Features: cladding and roofing in continuous wood shingles, asymmetrical façades, natural materials, large front porches, oversized arches on porches or entrances.
