The Many Eras Of 898 Francisco (And A Rumored Celebrity Flip/Folly)

From the gothic dining room, to the 80’s bathroom, to the modern kitchen, the interior of 898 Francisco manages to span quite a few eras. And while Victorian doesn’t seem to be one of them, it still feels like a quintessential San Francisco property. Then again, perhaps that’s just... Read More »

Add Your Name To This Mansion

Add Your Name To This Mansion

The Verdier/Scholes Mansion at 1001 Vallejo is quintessential old-school (and old-money) San Francisco. We’re talking a conservatory, secret garden, and terraces galore. Not to mention a $14,000,000 price tag. And although we give it a “C” for curb appeal, it’s a stunning property with a rich history, modern amenities,... Read More »
