3800 Washington St, Presidio Heights

As of my original 2016 posting:

Landmarked derelict manse that was recently listed at $18 million.

17,895 square foot 9 bedroom 8 bath residence, built in 1902 for the Koshland family woolens magnates and later major supporters of the San Francisco Symphony and San Francisco Opera. Much of the family fortune later went to establish the San Francisco Foundation. The mansion was modeled after Madame de Pompadour's Versailles chateau Le Petit Trianon.

The most recent owner Halsey Minor bought the 17,895-square-foot mansion and detached 2,618-square-foot guesthouse in 2007 for about $18 million. He never occupied the property. It was put on the market in 2012 for $25 million, but that listing eventually was cancelled. It came back up for sale in 2014 priced slightly less that $20 million. It did not sell and the price was eventually cut to $17.995 million. The property is currently listed as sold.

More about Halsey's fiasco HERE (SF Business Journal)

The mansion did eventually sell for $12 million 7/16. Vacant and virtually abandoned the house has been vandalized on numerous occasions. Not to mention the skateboarders that turned the front steps into a skate park.

2100 Jackson St

Recently painted 33K SQ FT 8 story Beaux Arts apartment building c. 1923. Once owned by former I. Magnin President Hector Escobosa, the building features 3400 sq ft full floor units with iconic views.

Each unit contains three bedrooms, four bathrooms and a small den-like room that used to be a servant's quarters.

About the Building and its Owner
...Several years later in 1999, Inventor-philanthropist Maurice Kanbar bought an 8-story Pacific Heights apartment building, which he has called home ever since. He lives on the eighth floor, entertains on the seventh. He is the building’s only occupant, having evicted the other tenants a year after he moved in. As he told the S.F. Chronicle in 2012, “Being a landlord was terrible. I was treated like a janitor...
