The Scoop On 168 Yerba Buena Avenue (And St. Francis Court)
If you happened to like “Solaria” (166 Yerba Buena) but the six (plus) car garage just wasn’t going to be big enough, perhaps 168 Yerba Buena will do the trick.
This exquisite structure is inspired by Italian villas along Amalfi Drive on the Mediterranean coast line. The building under construction is two levels over garage/basement. Ground floor has seven car parking or storage for 11 to 12 cars. The structure is one of two SFR's in a gated enclave with breathtaking Pacific Ocean views. The offering price includes a custom finished home. The buyers have the opportunity to select finishing touches to suit their own individual taste, prior to completion.
168 Yerba Buena is currently on the market for $12,700,000 and together with “Solaria” (which is still available) comprise the newly developed "St. Francis Court."
Not that it should necessarily matter, but do keep in mind that despite the “St. Francis Court” moniker it’s officially Monterey Heights (but just barely). According to a “plugged-in” tipster, “[t]hese properties missed the "illustrious" St. Francis Wood by a few feet, and the St. Francis Wood sign/gate/column/light post had to be moved over to accommodate the property's driveway.”

The artist's renderings remind me of something out of Sim City.
[Editor’s Note: They’re actually not renderings but pictures of a 5’x3’ architectural model.]

It's a beautiful day in the mansions-with-multiple-parking neighborhood, a beautiful day for a mansion-with-multiple-parking living neighbor, won't you be mine....

Tinted windows - icky!
Trully the degenerate character of the rich is palpable in their window tints.
