  1. “Views + location + demand + great remodel.
    It will sell. I’ll bet without price reduction.”
    Yea right!
    “Movingback”, I think your clock is 3 years slower than mine, I am in 2008 now.

  2. I’d be worried about the lack of a bathtub if it was a two bedroom – babies need bathtubs! – but this looks like a DINK/bachelor(ette) pad to me.

  3. Yes but Zillow also says that Russian Hill is made up of:
    Foreign-born Urbanites -Foreign-born individuals who live in city.
    Power Singles -High-income urban singles.
    Bright Lights, Big City -Very mobile singles living in the city.
    So maybe this would suit one of those, particularly if they are using Euros to buy 😉
    But I agree this is way too much to pay for a view, no balcony, and the pleasure of having to be accepted by the Board and then asked to pay more than $12,000 a year in HOA fees

  4. Overall, this layout makes much more sense… good ideas IMO
    also, it is beautiful. killer views too.
    I’m confused about the layout however. is there a large closet AND also a pass-through closet from bedroom to bath? or is that a powder room or something?
    seems expensive to me, not like $600k of renovations that’s for sure!
    but all it takes is one buyer to pay that price, and the value is set.

  5. I actually think this has a good shot at selling for asking. 1100 psf isn’t that bad. A one bedroom sold near me for about 900k and it hadn’t been updated, had no views, and no parking.

  6. Nice remodel and great floorplan re-do. What’s up with that kitchen wall paper? Lack of tub seems to lack me a lack of creativity on the architect / designer here. The shower looks awesome.
    I guess this will test the theory on whether top-notch places with high end finishes “fly off the market”. I’m not sure sure this place is “top-notch” but it’s got all the right trimmings. Keep us posted.

  7. No tub is a deal killer. I saw another place over the weekend without a tub in the master. No gf of mine would go for that.

  8. I think it will likely sell without a price reduction. A “view” unit at 1501 Greenwich sold over $1600 ft and 10% over asking for $2.551M, in what was an ordinary bulding in my opinion.

  9. @ eddy – I am pretty sure that’s not wallpaper in the kitchen. Looks like custom tile work to me.
    @ Spencer – wow, you really don’t have any idea what is going on in the market in some locations, do you? You have got to be crazy if you think this place will go for much under asking price.
    Wayne’s example of 1501 Greenwich is a good indicator of what people will pay for the right space + quality remodel + amenities + killer views, and above all, for location. This building has always had an unspoken allure about it.

  10. This, in a nutshell, is what is so incredibly fracked up with San Francisco.
    A 1-bedroom condo for 1.3 million dollars?? Do people even register any more how truly insane that is???
    Jeebus. Sometimes I miss living in the real world…

  11. “Very clever rearrangement around the hard plumbing.”
    — No big deal, it’s just a common sense after all.
    “This, in a nutshell, is what is so incredibly fracked up with San Francisco.”
    — People still living in the past or they think it is a vitual world, they will learn in a painful way.

  12. It got an offer June 1, went pending June 26, and is scheduled to close July 30. I don’t know what price it fetched.

  13. Confirmed – went for asking. Still don’t know the exact dollar amount.
    [Editor’s Note: Closed for $1,295,000 (4% under asking) on 7/11/08.]
