As we first reported yesterday, the rental Tim Lincecum is accused of trashing is 141 Hampshire Street Unit B, a 2,790 square foot three-bedroom condo which was purchased new for $999,000 in 2001.
In 2004 the 3,425 square foot sister Unit A with lesser views sold for $1,265,000 having been purchased for $899,000 in 2001. And in 2008, 141 Hampshire Unit B hit the market seeking $3,500,000 while advertising a gross annual rental income of $72,000.
The asking price for Unit B was first reduced to $2,788,000 and then to $1,700,000 in 2009 before the condo was withdrawn from the market in April 2010. The condo was rented to Timmy fully furnished that May.

White cloth upholstered furniture for the rental: brilliant!
As if you have any idea that the pictures correspond with what is/was currently/recently inside the property? Internet folks. So quick with the words. LOL.
Yeah, wouldn’t the furniture in the photos have most likely been staging furniture when it was for sale?
appears that the house wasn’t that thrashed – it’s now up for sale: http://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Francisco/141-Hampshire-St-94103/unit-B/home/1473849
[Editor’s Note: Keep in mind the listing photos from the most current listing are the same as from the pre-Lincecum days: Live Like Tim Lincecum (Two Year Contract Not Included).]
From The Splash, The Chron’s Giants blog, SF Giants’ Tim Lincecum awarded $100,000 in landlord-tenant case:
The landlord got off easy.
If I were someone like Tim Lincecum I would have taken this all the way to a judgement and then when the landlord didn’t pay the treble damages, placed a judgement lien against this or one of her other properties until I got paid the full amount.
