As we wrote about 438 Roosevelt in 2007:
Get over the choice of exterior paint and get inside: big windows, views and lots of light; a steel and glass staircase; an open kitchen with bomber appliances and access to the patio/garden; and a three car garage. And no, we can’t name the architect. Readers?
Listed for $2,995,000 at the time, the green exterior is now gone along with 500,000 greenbacks from its list price (asking $2,495,000 in 2010).
Built in 2000, the lot was purchased for $500,000 in 1999 and the home first sold for $2,275,000 in 2002. And no, we still can’t name the architect. Readers?

This house is worth a tour, the catwalks and stairs are appealing. When standing inside though, beware the urge to seek-out the United or American check-in counter.
Maybe a commercial aviation buff will buy 438 Roosevelt and this one too : https://socketsite.com/archives/2009/06/14541456_kearny_hinting_at_some_rather_spectacular_view.html
With the much-needed change of paint color, this place takes on a cool Richard Meier-like vibe. Just tinker with some of the detailing and add stainless steel facing to the garage door.

I think you could easily develop a fear of heights by living in this house. Those open steps on the staircase and the glass catwalks are creeping me out. Of course, I got that feeling by just stepping out onto one of those tiny balconies at One Rincon.
The listing for 438 Roosevelt has been withdrawn from the MLS after 108 days on the market without a sale.
This wasn’t listed for much more than its 2002 price, but didn’t sell?
It’s not like 2002 was a banner year!
Why is 230,000 dollars not much more, then?
Because in 2002 $ it would be 2.759K adjusted by CPI.
I see the listing is now 2.295M
