They’re easily the most iconic homes in San Francisco, and now one of the famed Painted Lady Victorians is back on the market—at the same price as it’s last sale two years ago.
Back in January 2020, the current owner bought the Pink Lady for $3,550,000, with grand plans to renovate and restore the property.
And then COVID happened.
According to SF Gate, the owner called it “possibly the worst timing ever.” The pandemic slowed down permitting and design plans, not to mention the intense supply chain issues that soon followed. With seemingly no end in sight when it came to get the project back on schedule and on budget, the owner has listed the home for the same price she purchased it for in 2020.
No improvements aside from some exploratory demolition have been made on the 1890s home.
Per the listing, the Painted Lady features five bedrooms and three baths across nearly 3,000 square feet of living space. The three-level home presents views of the green hills of Alamo Square, while the kitchen is in full view of the dome of City Hall.
The sale includes plans and approved permits by David Armour Architecture to restore this two-unit building, creating a grand, house-like upper unit (three levels) with five beds and three-and-a-half baths.The lower level will be a two bed, one bath unit with a separate entrance.
The plans have also been approved for the Mills Act, offering a substantial property tax reduction over 10 years.
Nina Hatvany of Compass holds the listing.
