Earlier this week I shared some views of the empty streets in San Francisco during this period of Shelter-in-Place. It was, indeed, stunning to see usually bustling neighborhoods almost devoid of life.However, the beauty of San Francisco is always present and I never fail to appreciate my neighborhood walks. How lovely is the Victorian house on Jackson, with an arbor of wisteria and roses welcoming passersby and residents alike?And these roses mixed with other blooms at a different Jackson Street residence?Are you ready to find your home and create your garden? Large space or small--it can happen. Let's talk.Springtime in San Francisco!   04/24/2020

Halloween 2018 is rapidly approaching and even pets are getting into the spirit -- willingly or not so!Take Tanner, my granddaughter's Golden Retriever. Tanner is naturally a regal kinda fellow, being an urban San Francisco dog. He enjoys walking and playing (in a dignified manner) in Pacific Heights, especially in Lafayette Park and recently refurbished Alta Plaza, spots where dogs are as welcomed as people and the views are stellar. Tanner's nobility shines, (until he finds a mud puddle, when his inner-dog takes over) so his costume is completely unnecessary in his mind. Luckily, he is not forced to parade in public as the Lion King, or his ego might be damaged, ir-Retrievedly.  10/20/2018

Last month I wrote about three Pacific Heights condos I toured one Tuesday. All 3 caught my eye for various reasons. Three very different sizes, price points and appeal, but all would provide good living.Here's an update on the status of each. 1854 Vallejo - listed at $2,349,000; sold and closed escrow at $2,350,000 - they got their price. 1963-A Clay - Studio apartment listed at $549,000; sold and closed escrow at $702,500. (This type of overbid at this price level is common) 1818 Broadway - Listed by Faira for only $798,000 - it was withdrawn from the market after 50 days. Something is not obvious here - $798,000 is extremely low for the size and location. I might do more sleuthing. Looking for your spot to call home in San Francisco? Large or small, new or old, we can find them. 05/27/2018

It was a picture-perfect day a few years ago when I took a seaplane ride and we circled Pacific Heights, with Lafayette Park in the foreground.Pacific Heights is a highly desired part of town, with a wide variety of housing styles, from mega-million mansions, to charming Victorian single family houses, condominiums and apartments.Today I took a look at 3 very different condos in terms of size and price, but all located in Pacific Heights within a few blocks of each other. From each, one can walk to 3 different shopping districts (Polk Street, Union Street, and Fillmore Street), the CPMC hospital and medical offices, the historic Haas-Lilienthal house, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and a wealth of other destinations. And of course, beautiful Lafayette Park beckons one with its bay views, dog... 04/24/2018
