2529 Fillmore St, Pacific Heights

Side garage constructed 1986 (cost $12K)

4,425 square foot 4 bedroom 5 bath Stick Victorian built in 1885. Last sold for $745K in 1992.

Current estimates value the property at about $6.1 million.

I really like the idea of putting the garage on the side of the house. Unfortunately, in a tightly packed city like San Francisco, implementing the 'hide the garage' concept isn't usually feasible. Too bad.
