We’re digging the mid-century bones, courtyard, and Glen Canyon overlook of 68 Turquoise. The non-mid-century kitchen cabinets and painted ceilings, not so much (but those can be changed).

I think there is one room without a Nelson Clock, they should get on that..
I quite like this house.
The mid-century modern furniture collection (or staging?) is quite spectacular. Does the house come complete with the furniture?!
I love it!
this place is a mish mash of design. The kitchen and the stacked stone make no sense at all with the rest of the mid century details. And who wants to live up there in that crappy micro-climate where it’s foggy and cold 360 days a year.
Digging it.
While I am a fan of Eichler design, the homes are less than comfortable for living and the building materials are sub-standard. Sleeping quarters and living quarters are all small and good luck heating the place.
ANON – you might want to consider that not of all us desire sunshine 365 days a year. I personally like a lot of the foggy days here in SF. If I want sunshine, it usually can be found in other parts of The City or the Bay Area for me to enjoy.
I’ve been making replicas of these mid-century furniture pieces, I dig those.
This place is pretty cool, but the kitchen is kinda cheap and out of place looking. They should have gone more modern here it would have looked and fit better.
The house is great, although there are some serious missteps. Many of the light fixtures should have been changed out, the kitchen cabinets are all wrong (in fact I would venture to say that whoever did the kitchen should start over), and why redo the bathroom while keeping the original shower door? And what looks like 40-year-old drapes in one of the bedrooms?
Someone wasn’t fully paying attention when getting this house ready for sale.
Oh yeah, I have met these “fog loving” folks. Mostly overweight cat people who spend sundays in bed.
I like the fog, don’t like cats, and play on a soccer team sundays.
The only reason I used to spend Sundays in bed was during rugby season when I was too bruised to move to the couch to watch football.
But other than that, spot on ANON.
I’d check the foundation. Buildings over the canyon are on reinforced concrete foundations that are strictly the finest
60’s construction. I’m not sure whether the concept or the execution is inferior.
Question is, 50 year lifespan? COST of replacement?
The moving photos on the website are annoying, as is the way they drop down when you try to select individual ones.
I’m not sure how this is an “open floor plan” when there are walls and doors everywhere. The featured “fire pit” looks like it was placed there rather than built in. Only one of the two bathrooms is pictured (wonder what they are hiding) and it is dreary. Not the kind of bathroom I would expect in a million dollar home.
The view is stunning, not something you would expect in the city. Wonder if they have coyotes or goats.
This is a terrible location for public transit.
there are frequent coyote sightings in this area. keep your pets indoors and your garbage secure
