REAL ESTATE • On the Market
St. Francis Wood is one of San Francisco’s most unusual neighborhoods: a purely residential area, with freestanding single-family homes and front — and back — yards. That means no walkable coffee shops, grocery stores, or restaurants; it also means you can forget you live in a dense and busy city until you hop in your car to get to one of those amenities. It’s a mini-vacation one can live in forever.
The planned community was established in 1912, and most of its homes still boast flourishes from that era. More often than not, interiors have been updated to contemporary standards, but properties in need of a spruce-up also lurk within the listings. In the past year, 12 houses have changed hands in St. Francis Wood, at a median price of $4.212M, per Compass. Here, three current listings to consider:
