"Situated very centrally in the City, this neighborhood is home to one of the most vibrant streets in San Francisco - 24th Street.

As anyone who's walked 24th Street recently can testify, you can't go a half dozen steps without bumping into a pooch on parade or a baby stroller. Considered the "South of Market Pacific Heights," the … [Read more...]

The seven-bedroom, seven-bath "home" (such a quaint term for an approximately 16,400 square foot property) was completely rebuilt/restored in 2002. It has three rooftop terraces, six fireplaces, two family rooms, two offices, and two … [Read more...]

"Widely read local real estate blog SFCurbed recently posted on the "10 Most Depressing Things . . ."related to the housing market. The early Armageddon that was described included falling home prices, an increase in numbers of homeowners under water and no 'bottom' to the free fall until sometime in 2012, "at the earliest."
