Tour of the Painted Ladies House For Sale

KPIX 5's Amanda Starrantino takes a tour of one of the Painted Ladies that's up for sale

As I watched this video I was reminiscing about the painted lady that I lived in at 814 Steiner Street (next block down the street - there's a collection of these houses, but don't get the attention of the "seven sisters - looks more like six to me). I was remembering the plaster-work, crown molding, original woodwork and doors, the antique bath fixtures and kitchen, hardwood floors and the very homey feeling that I had while living there. When I saw how this house was ruined and had none of the ambiance of the house I lived in I was shocked. Restore a newel post, save a marble mantel and hardware on the pocket door, but otherwise create an antiseptic and unappealing atmosphere where you wouldn't want to sit on the furniture or bend down so far to access a useless drawer at floor level. This was not a restoration, but a modern remodeling of a once stately and historic home. Sorry, it's an abomination.

no privacy, people always staring at your house or taking photos, living here can be difficult with the traffic and congestion just like lombard street

The old kitchen, featured on Homes With Style on The Style Channel in the late 1990s, was much more beautiful. It is a shame that many of those features were removed. Same for the bathrooms.

They do look nice on the outside and I'm glad I don't own one. If I did, I'd sell it ASAP.

[emmas]

I can’t believe they painted over all that beautiful wood and the kitchen looks cheap and uninspired, especially that horrible backsplash.

[aliceputt]

Gee I’d have to rip out the bathrooms and put in claw foot tubs and Victorian fixtures and tiles. That place would need a lot of restoration. Very sad what they did to it. Should have bought a modern house instead of destroying this beautiful Victorian.

[burningwatermusic]

Beautiful exterior. But, think not. It's just not original enough in the interior. But still a gorgeous house!!

[WaldoTheWombat]

Didn't they made it the accomodation of the family in Insideout?

[tixibdu]

Literally went there this afternoon lmao

[scallaghan]

Beautiful house. Thanks for the tour. Please don't use that asinine term "Karl the fog". The fog is just the fog, or San Francisco fog. Please!

[PeeedaPan]

They should have went with a remodel that was more victorian. The modern interior be makes it look generic. Also in SF, yuck

[antster]

doesn't look anything like the full house layout

[gixellia]

No longer attractive since I spent time in SF.

[avayu]

I don’t see the point of restorations when kitchens and bathrooms have to be modern and state of the art to be comfortable. After all that is what museums are for NOT to live in. San Fran is so crowded and overrated. Every time I return from my business visits, I always appreciate my brand new single level spacious house so much more!

[rcnightlife]
