Back in 1885, the City was just expanding westward and 817 Lyon was built as a wooden Italianate Victorian row house. Over the years occupants modernized her with a stucco facade, a 1920s fireplace and other art deco touches. From the picket fence to the Wedgewood range, the overall effect is to welcome you back in time. Recently refreshed with new paint and light fixtures, 817 Lyon is ready for new occupants to feel the cares of the city fall away as they close the door and retreat to the kitchen to make dinner or the garden to grow some good things to eat.
The front of the house has a gracious living room with a fireplace. The front bedroom opens from the entry hall and overlooks the small front garden. At the center of the home is an oversized kitchen/dining room with a period washboard sink and Wedgewood stove as well as a new refrigerator. The 2nd bedroom is accessed off the kitchen. It boasts an attached sunroom which can be used as a 3rd bedroom. A spacious (and useful) hallway extends from the kitchen to the rear garden and provides access to the large bathroom with laundry in the closet. The rear garden extends some 50+ feet behind the house and overlooks the other yards on the block and provides views of Buena Vista Park and Sutro Tower. The home is completed by a full level of storage/basement below the main living level. This could be used for expansion or as workshop space. RH-3 zoning makes even provides the opportunity to add a unit or two to the property.

A Spacious Home With a View
Oh the changes this home has seen … built in 1938 when the Bay Bridge was just 2 years old and the tallest building on the San Francisco Skyline was the 32 story Russ Building at 235 Montgomery … It has watched as the fog has come and gone and buildings have risen to unprecedented heights. The view just keeps getting better and better! Depending on your point of view. But the lifestyle at 3354 Market remains tranquil and removed …
Practically floating above the City, 3352 Market is everything you never thought you could have – a spacious, quiet and secluded oasis with views forever, a walk out garden and 2 car parking (accessed from Corbett). The home is perched above the Upper Market garden path (with the traffic of Market Street inaudibly further below that). The huge remodeled kitchen is ready for you to entertain the friends who will flock to watch the colors change on the Salesforce Tower with you as well as the amazing daily light show nature puts on from sunup to down. Replete with refinished floors, fresh paint and 3 remodeled/refreshed bathrooms the home is all ready for new residents. There is a landscaped rear garden with level patio for entertaining that can be accessed from the upper master suite or the kitchen. In addition, off the upper bedroom, there is a view roof deck with a greenhouse/yoga retreat. The location is wonderful with quick access to shopping and restaurants in Cole Valley, Eureka Valley/Castro and Noe Valley. Freeways south and public transit are also nearby.

Sales with Court Confirmation Explained
Some sales state that they are subject to “court confirmation,” or you will see a “1st overbid” price stated. What does this mean?
Court confirmation exists so that heirs or debtors cannot be taken advantage of. People selling in these circumstances are presumed by the law to need a little extra protection. They are likely selling the property not because they choose to but because they have to. In all of these cases, there may be many parties receiving the monies and ensuring that there is a double check on any decision making can avoid conflict among the parties as well.
In the case of a bankruptcy, it will depend on the judge whether there will be overbidding or not. Sometimes the judge just wants to double check the deal on the table and the requirements will vary from situation to situation.
In the case of a Trust or Probate sale, a property has to have an offer accepted with a 10% cashiers check. This check is forfeit should the buyer back out for any reason. The check and the offer are held for court confirmation and a hearing is held about 8 weeks after the offer is first accepted. This hearing and the “overbid” price is advertised a specified number of weeks.
The 1st overbid is 5% plus $1000 more than the accepted offer. If people show up to overbid at the hearing, the court sets the bid increment and people literally stand up in court and bid. I won for a buyer last year on the 1st overbid. The accepted offer was a developer who just wanted it if it was a bargain and my client was the tenant occupying the building. It was very dramatic and emotional in this case I can tell you!
For my buyer clients, I generally recommend that unless it is their one and only dream home, or they are an investor who is (like the one above) just hoping for a good deal, that we go to court and overbid and do not seek to be the offer held for confirmation. The problem with being the offer held for confirmation is that you can miss an entire quarter where the market is changing and still end up not getting the house.

Who are you in business with?
I moved to Keller Williams San Francisco from a small local brokerage in 2016. Before I did I was concerned that it was a big corporation that might not share my values. Instead, I found out that each local office is individually owned in a franchise capacity, so the corporate structure provides education and thought leadership, but not control. I also found that Keller Williams is a company where culture and values mattered more than just about anything. I liked what I learned and I bought a small stake in the KWSF as well as KW Oakland. I was surprised to learn that I could not hold it in my corporate entity, but rather was only allowed to own it as myself, Jennifer Rosdail. I asked why. The answer I received was that the founder, Gary Keller, wanted there to be accountable individuals in charge of each office; that the anonymity a corporate entity can provide was just a no go. Therefore, with Keller Williams, Agents and their clients know where the “buck stops,” and who they are spending their money on. I checked out the other local owners as well as the corporate leaders before I joined and I decided these were people I would be proud to “be in business with.” Nothing has changed that since I joined. In addition to local ownership and control, Keller Williams has an impressive belief system – into which every office has input on an annual basis. There are some corny acronyms for sure, but when I read the WI4C2Ts, I’m inspired every time.Win-Win: or no deal
Integrity: do the right thing
Customers: always come first
Commitment: in all things
Communication: seek first to understand
Creativity: ideas before results
Teamwork: together everyone achieves more
Trust: starts with honesty
Success: results through peopleFootnote: The small local brokerage I used to be part of has recently been swallowed up by a big corporation that has received $450 million in funding from Softbank (which is in turn funded 45% by the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund, which is the investment vehicle for the Saudi Government, of recent journalist killing and arms deal fame… not to mention long term suppression of women and minorities.) Other brokerages have been swallowed as well.For more on the Keller Williams belief system, see here: https://www.kw.com/kw/mvvbp.html. To find out more about how being with Keller Williams benefits my clients and my business, just ask me.

Getting better and better….
1907 was an exciting year in San Francisco. People were eager to recover from the earthquake and building up a storm. The Outer Richmond was one of the last places in San Francisco to be developed so there was plenty of room. 3335 Clement was errected in this year across the street from what was then a mere 3 hole golf course. The Palace of Legion of Honor was yet to be built – and little did the first occupants know they might eventually look out over one of the most recognizable human built icons ever – the Golden Gate Bridge.
Fast forward to today, and this exquisitely remodeled and cared for home is across from a the spectacular 19 hole Lincoln Park Golf Course, walking distance to the elegant and inspiring Palace of Legion of Honor and a convenient stroll to almost too many restaurants and shops to list. And it looks right at the now extant Golden Gate Bridge. In addition, it is a short hop to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area’s Lands End or Golden Gate Park. And as if this wasn’t enough, it’s about to be a block from a brand new Andronico’s.
The unit was exquisitely remodeled by the current owners to include luxurious finishes, appliances and and a magazine worthy kitchen with direct access to a lovingly cared for outdoor spaces. The unit also features an accessible attic with soaring ceilings and a skylight that will provide space for all the things you hope you will get to – movie night or painting or yoga? The view past the picturesque window boxes is verdant and open as it is from the sunny kitchen and back deck is as well. Spending time here is a relaxing respite – all while right near some of the finest things San Francisco has to offer.

546 Sanchez/102-104 Hancock is perched in Dolores Heights like one of San Francisco’s famous parrots. It is an outstanding architectural example of an 1890s San Francisco Italianate Victorian but in addition to that, it now finds itself at the center of current coolness: Two blocks up from the top of Dolores Park, two blocks from free rides to work at all the cool places, and a very short distance from the restaurants and nightlife of the Castro and the Mission. It is truly the place to be right now. You can walk up the hill see the sun rise over Mt. Diablo, have dinner at Frances and watch movies in the park – that is if you can get past Le Marais and Lark which are irresistibly close. Your friends might even notice you look just a little cooler because you are shopping at Unionmade on your way to meet them at Starbelly.
In 1890, Eureka Valley was just getting started, and this building was one of the first proud centennials erected in the newly forming district. The care and pride that went into building it, are still evident today and it is ready for new occupants to enjoy.
