Anything but small
A £15 million mansion on The Bishops Avenue that is anything but small
Ruling Pacific Heights
As J. Paul Getty’s grandson tries to sell his San Francisco home for $15.998 million, is this a sign that the area’s elite is changing?
For sale with agent Malin Giddings, the 5,490 square foot, 4-storey detached house offered includes not only 4 reception rooms, 4 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, but also a bar, wine room, exercise room, elevator and barbecue. It comes with a 2-car garage, two balconies and a garden and is curiously described as having a “re-scripted aesthetic” that “caters to the 21st century family while incorporating the best finishes of yesterday and today”.
Built in 1940 and completely reconfigured by Ken Fulk – an “incredible… sprightly… design guru” with a client list ranging from Napster’s Sean Parker to Bebo’s Michael and Xochi Birch, according to Vanity Fair – £8.40 million ($10.75 million, €9.62 million or درهم39.50 million) is sought for the house.
Indicative of the sharp rise in prices in the neighbourhood since it became popular with the titans of Silicon Valley, 1994 Jackson Street sold for $6.25 million in 2008 (the equivalent of $7.10 million, £5.55 million, €6.35 million or درهم26.09 million today) and $1.43 million in 1994 (the equivalent of $2.36 million, £1.84 million, €2.11 million or درهم8.67 million today). Plainly, now, this is a house that’s anything but a steal.

Ken plainly likes orange!!!
The best street in San Francisco. A shame there is no roof deck though.
The price seems very ambitious I’d say tech boom or no tech boom.
If I had $10 million to spend on a house I wouldn’t buy anything in earthquake land San Francisco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The decoration is SICK and the security risk of being on that steep hill corner is deranged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What about runaway trucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell………. NOOOOOOOOO………….. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Knock it down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wrecking ball opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not the most interesting part of Pac Heights but not a bad house. Layout could be much improved.
Maurice Kanbar lives at 2100 Jackson. That’d put me off but otherwise I love it!
