Three weeks ago we noted that 3973 19th Street was coming soon, the price was TBD, and the discussion was all about the exterior (and concrete and stucco).
Today it’s on the market, the list price has been set at $1,495,000, and we turn our attention to the interior that’s now on display (and will be open to the public tomorrow).
UPDATE: And with regard to the upper unit: “Word on the street is that the second unit will go on the market, but I don’t know when. I heard (third hand FWIW) the asking price will be well north of $2M.”

What’s going on with the upper unit? Is it still under construction or already sold?
This style of exterior design has been done to death. The Stucco looks cheap as well.
nice to see this project coming to an end. i’ll have to dig up photos i took a couple years ago (i think) when there was merely a backhoe perched precariously on the hillside to excavate the space.
gotta love the staging. who leaves their slippers on the toilet seat? 🙂
ds: good find… makes me giggle too.
on a side note: does anybody have glass bannisters???
they seem like they’d be a pain to keep clean… even if you don’t have kids.
Is it me or does one of the bedrooms look loft-like??
Overall, this property looks great. I just wish the builder did away with those transparent cubes in the stairwell. It reminds of the show Miami Vice.
It all looks so cold.
And what is that behind the house? I would want to live with that towering over me.
“And what is that behind the house?”
The second unit. It’s a two unit building and that’s the upper unit.
“This style of exterior design has been done to death”
Is there a name for this style? Is the intent to keep the wood shiny and oiled-looking? Because some of the earlier instances of this style are starting to fade and it’s definitely a different look.

Word on the street is that the second unit will go on the market, but I don’t know when. I heard (third hand FWIW) the asking price will be well north of $2M.
first remodel prediction: install a door/vestibule between the master bedroom and the “open-to-below” stairway.
Perhaps I just have bad taste, but I can’t stand the look of mosaic tiles in bathrooms — or anywhere in the house, for that matter. Ick.
Exposed concrete is disgusting. It stains immediately because of the weather here, and it turns into a brown grey block. Have we not learned anything from the mess that concrete blocks have made of our downtown?
The exterior stucco will probably weather very badly; it has no control joints which means cracking will occur. The color is dull..but trendy. Leave it to those “modernist” architects around town who prefer to design just to get their work published in Dwell..rather than just do good humane architecture. Good modernism can still be warm, inviting, human scaled..and yea..not so damn trendy.
Brrrrhhhhhh
As I have said here before, the house on Mullen is the best example of mod residential design I have seen in SF. This house lacks innovaton and character.
…and the aforementioned “house on Mullen” sits on the market without any serious market interest. Ditto 1234 Howard!
We went to visit this home last Sunday. While we were impressed by some of the features we were disappointed by the overall impact especially given the list price. Personally we believe a mistake was made in the space plan with the deck that was constructed on the first floor of the home. Had the design been modified to not include this deck off the bedrooms, the deck off the living room could have been significantly larger or the small living/dinning room much larger. The master bedroom also appeared much smaller than anticipated with little closet space available.
As indicated by others I agree this unit is over priced. Personally I think the unit would sell for approximatley $700 per sq ft.
Parking in the area is also very bad.
My guess is that the design with decks on the west side of the home, and the home extending forward further on the east side, was dictated by the fact that the neighboring home on east side extends forward even further, while the neighboring house on the west side has windows that would have been blocked if not for the decks.
Very often when you see newer homes configured asymmetrically, it is because of how the house is situated between its neighbors. The final envelope of the building is often the result of long negotiations with neighbors to win their support before the Planning Commission.
The 306 Mullen house no longer appears to be listed on the MLS. Anyone know what’s happening with it?
looks like it’s not on amanda jones listings anymore so i guess they must have pulled it off the market:

i think that means i won the bet
😉
pay up suckers!
I overheard the agent at the open house saying that it was it already in contract with out any contingencies.
Yep, according to the agent 3973 had 2 “preemptive offers for well over the asking price”. They started the destaging today and the new owners move in at the beginning of January. Now if they’ll do the open house for the upper unit!
From what I was told by the agent, the 2 preemptive offers were almost the same and over north of 1.6. The Architect owner is planning on keeping the much larger rear unit, but agent has small window to show at price point north of 2.5.
Does anyone know how much this sold for? I think it was way over asking.
Sold for $1.65M.
