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
I no longer reside in San Francisco but when I did that was a sad thing about the Alamo Square ladies, the beautiful mansions on Lombard Street, and even Robin Williams's Seacliff house. You could always tell he was in residence when the shades had to be drawn.
In a normal life, as we had pre covid, it might be a nightmare to live in this house, people, traffic and everything else BUT SF changed. Most of wealthy moved to Austin tx, and only the ghetto stays looking for the glamour that once the city had. Not worth the money anymore. SF was magnificent till late 2009. I'm glad I left the city before it became a shit whole cuz my friends can't even sell their houses and move out.
@@meggtokyodelicious lol what are you talking about? San Francisco still has plenty of techie people. Businesses are still in San Francisco. Companies are slowly bringing workers back to office. Salesforce, Google, DoorDash, Instagram, Uber, Lyft etc. it’s all still in San Francisco.
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.
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.
@@itypethetruthnobshere8975the kitchen is already dated, that’s what happens when you remodel something in a trendy way instead of sticking with classic. Painting over the fireplace and wood features? They should be banned from ever touching another historic home.
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.
I leave in San Francisco And when the tourist go to take pictures their cars had been destroyed I mean the windows I love San Francisco I’ve been leaving here for more than 30 years And unfortunately is getting very dangerous So sad
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!

@@meggtokyodelicious Nah, it was dead by the early 90's!

Beautiful home 💙

It was dated
@@itypethetruthnobshere8975 much nicer than the re-model, however with the home depot look.

They do look nice on the outside and I'm glad I don't own one. If I did, I'd sell it ASAP.
They should have went with a remodel that was more victorian. The modern interior be makes it look generic. Also in SF, yuck
Agree.
Yes. The kitchen & bathrooms are terrible in this house. In my house it would be awesome, but doesn’t fit.

Beautiful exterior. But, 'restored'?.....I think not. It's just not original enough in the interior. But still a gorgeous house!!
Definitely destroyed. Ambience, craftsmanship gone.
The most none cohesive house 🥴.
Literally went there this afternoon lmao
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!
I went here last month one was for sale for 6 million
Didn't they made it the accomodation of the family in Insideout?
I love the homes, not the location.
i love the homes, not the relation to the show (at least for living)
The park across the street is spooky, I got the most evil feeling walking thru it once.
@@tonjamarshall4842 omg really wtf 😐
The park in front is full of thieves
definitely not
in San Francisco's wealthy areas there is no crime
I leave in San Francisco
And when the tourist go to take pictures their cars had been destroyed
I mean the windows
I love San Francisco
I’ve been leaving here for more than 30 years
And unfortunately is getting very dangerous
So sad
It's evil, and been that for awhile.
That is one epic Karen hairdo. :o)
Best you can do with someone’s terrible 70’s - 80’s updates. It was pretty much a tear down then.
I can’t believe they painted over all that beautiful wood and the kitchen looks cheap and uninspired, especially that horrible backsplash.
doesn't look anything like the full house layout
No longer attractive since I spent time in SF.
what an inept camera man

NO thanks!!! too old for millions $$ home
Ugly old ass houses, don't buy it but there is a park in front.
Explain what is ugly about a classic home? Maybe it is your lack of style and taste.
why wouldn't I want a park in front of my house you are delusional
Nothing ugly about it. It’s older than your grandma.
@@youtubeden1176 because there is literally an entire series about people breaking into cars right there 🤣🤣
@@ethanterry3370 so what ? If you're living in that house you're a millionaire so suck it up and fix your window..
