Now Would That Be A Pre Or Post Prison Martha Stewart Design?
We know, we know, not everyone is in the market for an eleven million dollar Belvedere "compound." So how about a more modest $5,600,000 waterfront Belvedere home "personally designed by Martha Stewart, a friend of the current owner in the style of a 'Luxury loft'" with a "gourmet kitchen personally designed by chef Michael Chiarello?"
And as if those two aren't names enough: "For the full price, seller will consider including the furniture including Dakota Jackson and Holly Hunt designer items from Randolph and Hein and Kneedler Faucher, custom built Honduras mahogany dining table and Parisi Chaise Lounge with Design Tex swayed fabric."
Oh, and the "beautiful mahogany used to build the dresser and bed in the master bedroom was originally earmarked to make Gibson guitar[s]."

Sitting On A Deck (Or A Dock) By The Bay: 210 Beach Road
Okay, so 210 Beach Road isn't in San Francisco proper but rather just across The Bay on Belvedere Island. And it's not just a house, but rather a "compound" that consists of a 3/3.5 main house, a 2/2.5 guest house, a 1/1 Au Pair suite (below the three car garage), and a 1/1 boat house with private pier and dock (perfect for sitting by the Bay).
And while $11,500,000 might be out of reach for some (okay, so most), it is $5,000,000 closer than in 2006 when they were asking $16,500,000 (but didn't find a buyer).

An Albert Farr Design Breaks Free (610 El Camino Del Mar)
So you missed out on the fifteen million dollar (asking) 120 Sea Cliff, and twenty-two million dollars for the Captain’s House is just a tad bit more than you were hoping to spend. Well, if you're dead set on living on the bluff that put the 'cliff' in Sea Cliff, there's good news. For the first time since being commissioned and built (circa 1929), 610 El Camino Del Mar is now on the open market and asking a mere $6,200,000.
And while we couldn’t find any interior photos online (other than of the pool), we will note that it does appear to be open this coming weekend. And we’ll also note that the architect was Albert Farr who designed numerous notable homes in San Francisco as well as Jack London’s ill fated 15,000 square foot Wolf House in Sonoma County (which burned to the ground prior to completion and was never rebuilt).
