An overlook of Lafayette Park to the north from the living room is a rather nice feature. The south facing private roof deck overlooking Cathedral Hill is as well.
Purchased for $2,286,500 in June of 2007, the top floor condo with two car parking at 2041 Sacramento is listed for $2,095,000 today. A sale at asking would represent an 8.4% drop in value over the past two years for this remodeled Pacific Heights condo home.
∙ Listing: 2041 Sacramento #Top (3/3) – $2,095,000 [MLS]
Beautiful place, with a Tainted View.
Too bad that Ugly Circular Tower on Gough St is right in the MIDDLE of the view from the Balcony.
Who came up with that design anyway ? Were they going for a Tower of Pisa look and waiting for the ‘quakes to lean it over ?
Don’t forget the view of that church too… It always looked like the inside of a washing machine to me, so I refer to it as the “Church of Maytag”.
For this price, you can have 2/3 of the Bourn Mansion. Much better.
“Rare offering!”
It’s been off the market for two years.
The view of the church is much better from the south. Here’s why: http://sfist.com/2008/03/26/the_two_oclock.php
The Cathederal was built when I was a little kid and I remember Catholic friends of my parents all calling it “McGucken’s Maytag” since it was Archbishop McGucken the gave the final OK to the design.

I predict makes a round trip back to Nov 2000 price of $1.7M
This is a nice home with north/south views light. The problem here is that you can get a nice single family home for $2M in PH. I’m surprised the condo market in PH is holding as well as it is.
It’s been known as “Our Lady of Maytag” for decades, and it’s one of the more interesting buildings in SF.
The condo, on the other hand, comes off as quite Mormon.
I’ve always referred to it as “St. Mary Maytag”
The 2 o’clock titty is fabulous. The ever-so-much-more Catholic nickname for the Cathedral is “Our Lady of Perpetual Agitation.”
eddy, where’s all these nice $2M SFH in pac heights? let me know because I’m interested.
The view is fine…. Matag & all. the unit itself seems a bit pedestrian for 2m. For me, and I’m a little biased, the stager failed miserably by using everything from SITCOM Furniture. Let’s mix it up a little people. Am I the only designer who is totally sick of all these Mimi London knock offs?
Very late follow up to @fancy rental…
They are out there and when they come up they go very fast. Get a good realtor, get pre-qualified and be prepared to move fast. Personally, I’d email sleepiguy if I was seriously looking. that’s one plugged in guy despite being so sleepy!
Price drop to $1,999K.
Here is something up the road that will be hitting the auction block October 21. The home at 2679 Sacramento (3/1 1438 sq.ft.) has an unpaid balance of $1,318,455 (courtesy of WaMu); it was bought for $927k in March of 2002. It appears that the homeowners had, at one point, trouble getting back the $10k security deposit of a former tenant. They also appeared to be experiencing some financial distress as evidenced by this judgement in favor of of their credit union for $28k on a VISA card. Looks like they had to sell off another property, 2967 Pine, last year for $1.55million, which they had bought for $1.51million in 2006. Don’t worry, though — I’m sure owning multiple $1million+ properties in Ess Eff isn’t a common occurence…
Nice research. FYI, 2679 failed to sell last year for $1.5. MLS had it listed as 1800 sqft
With a 30% haircut in Pac Heights from 2007, it looks like 2041 might be sold soon. Last listed for 1.695, pending now as a short sale.
2679 Sacramento is coming back (as a foreclosure flip ?) via Nina for $2.1M.
Few other really interesting homes hitting the MLS today:
3659 Washington for 6163 sq ft @ $7M
1388 Chestnut St for 2432 sqft @ $1.599
[Editor’s Note: A Peek Inside 3659 Washington For Those Feeling A Little Porny…]
Yes, eddy, lots of listings. I saw 3659 Washington before the photos were up and it’s hard to see where 6000 square feet goes.

The first listing photo is of course stretched to make it look like it might actually be worth the price to someone who wouldn’t double check.

My favorite listing is 1 Daniel Burnham Ct #907. Their opening price: $50K under their year 2000 purchase price! It’s a 1/1 and the “penthouse” on floor 9, but a larger 2/2 on the 12th floor sold last month for 15% less on a ppsft, so we’ll see if they get that below year 2000 price.

Those places are Daniel Burnham Ct are a joke. Not sure why anyone would buy there at any price.
2679 Sacramento is going to be legendary. Can’t wait until this place comes back. I do hope it gets its own post here.
^ Why? What’s going on with that property?
They did some funky garage install that is unlike anything I’ve seen and it looks like they are going to ask $2.1. The garage looks like it is 5.5′ tall at the opening and looks like a sideways mouth. Maybe not a legendary thread but it just looks funny and should garner some fun comments.
“2679 Sacramento is going to be legendary.”
Also bought in 2002 for $927K and foreclosed in 2009 at $1.0627M.
Looks like they managed to sell 2679 Sacramento off-market. Sold on 05/06/2011. $2,025,000. Not a bad foreclosure flip. They did manage to fix the garage. Congrats. $1300/psf. Not sure they added any sqft since there wasn’t much room to do so.
