The Lower Pacific Heights Victorian at 1709 Broderick Street, which served as the façade of the Tanner's ' Full House ' home, has just sold for $4 million. Designed by Charles Lewis Hinkel and built in 1883, the home previously traded hands for $1.85 million in 2006, after which it was renovated, remodeled and expanded (down) to encompass 2,985 square feet of finished living space and a gate was added to keep the Full Housians, and Uncle Jesse, away from the repainted front door.
Encompassing more than 26,000 square feet, the property accommodates multiple standalone units, including a two-bedroom guest apartment. All told, there are nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms in the compound. And in addition to the full-size basketball court, there is also a golf simulator, gym, yoga/dance studio, spa bath and massage room. The property also includes a number of amenities for entertaining including a chef's kitchen, a wine cellar and lounge, two bars and a rooftop deck with an outdoor kitchen and fire pit.
Fans of San Francisco's historic architecture, get ready: This story offers a tantalizing treat, as well as tragic disappointment. In 116 Cherry St. we have an example of architectural royalty: a preserved Willis Polk single-family home, one of this hallowed San Francisco architect's first commissions.

Those structures are - or were - earthquake shacks, also known as earthquake cottages or refugee cottages. With the help of the Army, the city built the shacks in the wake of the 1906 earthquake, which left 225,000 San Franciscans without homes. They placed the tiny, one-room cottages in city parks, and residents whose homes had been destroyed paid $2 a month to live in them. At one point, more than 16,000 people lived in the shacks - approximately three for every 250-square-foot dwelling.
SF-based developer Align Real Estate does, in fact, have a larger strategy to redevelop Safeway properties in the city and turn them into multi-story residential complexes with retail on the ground floor, including replacement Safeway stores. With Tuesday's announcement that Align, the same developer behind the project to redevelop the Fillmore Safeway property, was working to potentially redevelop the Ocean Beach Safeway in similar fashion, we surmised there could be a larger strategy at play.
