San Francisco Home Sale in Central Outer Sunset District Sets Record Price Per Square Footage
Sale of a single-family home with significant architectural style receives twelve offers and leads to a record-breaking price per square foot in Sunset District neighborhood.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When people think of San Francisco architecture they immediately think of Victorians style structures, but rarely think of the city's western neighborhoods' cottage-like homes. As more home buyers look west for affordable single-family homes, they are also discovering the architectural gems that the Sunset District has to offer.
A century ago, the Sunset was an unpopulated area covered in sand dunes. Spurred by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal era programs that sought to build homes and increase home ownership for working class families, thousands of homes were built in the Sunset, bringing in new architectural styles by several prominent architects like Oliver Rousseau, Henry Doelger, and C.T. Lindsay.
The 4BR/2BA home at 1470 32nd Avenue built in 1939 features Streamline Moderne interiors with rounded corners, curving archways and original stacked moldings. The skylights and a center patio pull natural light throughout the house, and original art deco style trims.
Listed in the Sunset District Historic Resource Survey as 1 of 38 buildings considered architecturally significant for their association with Modern styles, 1470 32nd Avenue serves as an exceptional example of the type of architecture that came out of an era of change in San Francisco. It stands out among the cookie-cutter style homes in the Sunset District due to its unique architecture, craftsmanship, and condition.
The seller of this property was able to take advantage of the Compass Concierge program, which provides a suite of services designed to prepare homes for the market, from deep-cleaning to cosmetic improvements, that add value to their properties. There is no cost to home sellers or interest owed to Compass, the service was simply designed to invest in homes and provide swifter, more profitable sales for their clients.
The home went to buyers who love San Francisco history and its architecture. They plan to maintain the home's unique style and restore the home to its 1939 architectural glory. This is one of those rare instances where period detail architecture and preservation attracted a buyer interested in the home's history.
