Sometimes It’s Simply The Small Things: 1580 Masonic
It might have been the fairly unique Victorian façade/layout (or perhaps the mention of an English garden with lavender and wisteria) that first got us to take a look. But to be honest, it was probably the detailing on the kitchen cabinets that landed 1580 Masonic on the site. What can we say, sometimes it’s simply the small things.
∙ Listing: 1580 Masonic (4/3.5) - $3,699,000 [Alain Pinel] [MLS]

Amazing house, but $3.7 in that hood? I'll take Pac Heights for that please.

This house has a lot to offer. I especially loved the library. Worth checking out.

Doesn't do it for me -- the flow seems all cobbled together, drive-up appeal mixed at best and at this price for this neighborhood, I don't get it.

Gorgeous house - fantastic colors. If I could afford it, I'd buy it. BTW, I love SocketSite - found it by accident, but now I check it out at least once a week!

Lovely home, fantasy price

Regarding that price range, it's not that far off from the Droubi house (http://www.droubiteam.com/listing.php?l=33), which is listed at $3,495,000 but doesn't seem nearly as well finished. What do the readers think?

Ashbury Heights is a great neighborhood, love this place.

Minus that shock of lime green towards the end of the photo tour, it's STUNNING! I would absolutely consider it if that were within my price range.

Does it come with that "Bald Guy" painting above the fireplace?
Scary.

The yard is quite something too and really unique. While the layout is not a modern "open" layout, the ability to see the large yard (and maybe your kids playing in it) from almost every room is really nice. The bathrooms are a bit over the top, but in a good way. The L-shaped floor plan is a rare antidote to rectangular houses.
When you are inside, you wouldn't even know you are in a city.
Ashbury heights is really nice-- none of the attitude or pretense of some of the other name neighborhoods in town. The original price was a reach (in today's market conditions), but the very last price reduction, $2.995, is very realistic and even cheap (though underpricing is always the way to go if you want to get bids).
