Presidio Heights Edwardian Sells for $14.7M — Nearly $4 Million Over Asking in 21 Days

A six-bedroom home on Clay Street closed September 24 for $3.7 million above its $11 million list price, the latest illustration of extreme overbidding in the city's northern luxury neighborhoods.

A six-bedroom, 5,230-square-foot Edwardian at 3460 Clay Street in Presidio Heights closed on September 24 for $14.7 million — roughly $3.7 million, or about 34 percent, above its $11 million asking price after spending just 21 days on the market. The deal works out to approximately $2,811 per square foot. The home sits on a 3,200-square-foot lot and comes with views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay, spanning four levels with coffered foyer ceilings, light maple floors, and a top-floor primary suite.

Marina Safeway Lawsuit Advances: Federal Challenge Targets Toxic-Site Review and Fast-Track Approval

A neighborhood nonprofit and Marina residents are asking a federal judge to halt the 848-unit twin-tower project while contamination reviews are completed — and the city has yet to issue its final approval letter.

The federal lawsuit filed in mid-September over the proposed redevelopment of the Marina District Safeway continues to move through the courts. The YesAND Foundation — a newly formed housing nonprofit — together with NeighborhoodsUnited SF and four Marina District residents filed suit on September 12 in U.S. District Court for Northern California against developer Align Real Estate Partners, the City of San Francisco, its Public Health and Planning Departments, PG&E, and Safeway parent company Albertsons.
