George Horsfall is such a great fellow! He graciously allowed our drone into his wonderful home to capture a one-shot take in history as it stands today! 🥰🏡 A wholesome experience we will never forget! 🙏
WHEN I WORKED AS A TOUR OPERATOR IN SF , THE PAINTED LADIES AT ALAMO SQUARE WERE A MUST TO SHOW THE VISITORS. TOO BAD SF HAS GONE DOWNHILL
Fake news.
Nice to know someone kind lives there.
Plenty of kind people in SF.

Everywhere you look!
Great family history!
Talk about birth lottery! Must be nice. I really can not imagine having such a childhood. A beautiful home. Happy memories.
I’m confused your mom brought the house but she grew up there since she was a baby?
Anybody else looking at pretty house videos and daydreaming about being a home owner? I really don't want to be a downer but that always comes to my mind with such pretty places to live.
Not sure which one he's talking about. The Blue one on the end is my favorite. I hate to say this, but Damn, they need to cut those trees. You can't see the house much anymore.
trees have feelings too
Leave the trees alone! Un-f-ng-believable!
Is that the neighborhood Mrs. Doubtfire was filmed in. if not it certainly looks a lot like it.
Mrs. Doubtfire’s ex wife lived on another street of San Francisco.
Full House sitcom used one of these as the exterior of the house they lived in.
I think my mom tried to sell that one in the 90s for $750k...
I would be willing to bet your property tax is $50 thousand a year.🤯
Bet? What do you KNOW? Nothing, probably.
Since he inherited it from his mother, he’s paying her property tax schedule, which can only increase 2% a year from whenever she bought it. But that lol just changed so his kids will probably be in about $50,000. Lol.

So it’s haunted. What’s up with the creepy music?
They seem to face away from SF. No iconic views. I read somewhere that the homes were chopped up to make condos
Fake news, and you believe it????
@@cathyrobbins221 Yes because they showed some of the condo units
Some are broken into units, all have AMAZIN city views from the back patios…
How many break-ins and poop sidewalks?
Fake news,
@@cathyrobbins221 wrong. Do you live in the bay?
I live in the Bay Area and recently walked down Market Street. I didn't see any poop on the streets and was actually impressed with how clean the sidewalks and streets were. I'm not denying the possibility that the poop thing is real, but it's not something that is commonly seen on every street in SF.
