Victorian San Francisco home that survived historic 1906 earthquake listed for $4.6M

It’s definitely durable. A Presidio Heights home that withstood the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 has just hit the market for $4.6 million.

The vintage Victorian measures 4,223 square feet and includes a second, privately accessible residence on the lowest level, the SFGate reported. Wood carvings and embellishments along with stained glass windows and a pitched roof are design elements the home has retained from when it was built in 1900.

The sellers of the home, Jacob Grotta and Aeron Noe, updated the property and reconfigured the floorplan to become a duplex with each unit available for sale separately.

The home has a new foundation after the original brick one survived the 1989 and 2006 earthquakes.

Unit A of the home has four bedrooms and four baths across more than 3,100 square feet. It has a formal dining area with original wainscotting and a working fireplace and a modern, fully equipped chef’s kitchen.

The smaller Unit B offers two bedrooms and two baths and another modern kitchen.

Each home has access to the lot’s backyard and garden area and the main home includes an accessible rooftop surrounded by a plexiglass wall and two decks overlooking the backyard.

While the 3,018-square-foot lot could be sold as two separate homes, the sellers are hoping to find a buyer who will live in the house as a single-family home.

“The current owners have called Unit A home, but have thoroughly enjoyed the flexibility of using the spacious downstairs unit for both work and play,” Michell Nuñez, who is co-listing the property, told SFGate. “The owners’ families live in the South and East Coast, so having the downstairs unit was so wonderful for their family.”

The asking price for the full 122-year-old home with both units is currently $4.595 million.
