2523 Steiner 5/2/11 (www.SocketSite.com)

Foreclosed upon in 2009 with nearly $3 million owed at the time, the Pacific Heights home at 2523 Steiner returned to the market listed for $1,450,000 in 2011, was repainted three times in quick succession, and then sold for $1,260,000 that May.

Without any permits to remodel having been issued since purchased, and still sporting the same coat of exterior paint, the three-bedroom home with a rather challenging floor plan is now back on the market and listed for $2,450,000, this time with 1,730 square feet.

  1. Odd, the listing claims to be completely remodeled. It seems they may have opened up some space and added some footage (400 square feet)??

  2. Keep in mind there could be record errors/snafus with the city permit database. I can’t imagine someone doing a serious remodel on a high end home like this w/o permits. That would be *real* dumb.

  3. Ugh.. no.. just no..
    Still probably the worst property is Pacific Heights proper. It should be demolished. I can’t imagine anything in here is to code, so I was really surprised that it sold for over 1 million a couple of years ago. Caveat Emptor. Anyone thinking 2.5 for this POS is a steal is in for a world of hurt.

  4. The last time this was listed, it got scathing comments on here. Not believing any house could actually be that bad, I went to take a look. In fact, it’s one of the worst designed homes I have ever seen. A warren of small rooms, awkward spaces, and terrible flow. (Note the small bathroom on three levels. The sink on one level, step down to the toilet, step down to the shower.)
    I can’t imagine that it has been improved much.

  5. Oops. In the small bathroom, the toilet is on the top level, step down to the sink, and step down to the shower.

  6. Interested buyers should push hard for a THOROUGH independent inspection. Terrible house plan but worse is the leaking and mold problems the house has sustained throughout the years.
    A former resident paid for mold remediation but the underlying leakage problem was not solved as it was too extensive. During the rainy season water made its way from the roof all the way to the garage walls 3 stories below….
    Buyer beware indeed.

  7. Kudos to the seller for trying to make a sh*tload of cash!
    My condolences to the eventual buyers …
