The players
Compass
A national real estate brokerage that tracks high-end market activity and residential sales performance.
Presidio National Park
A federally managed park land that serves as a high-value geographic boundary for surrounding residential properties.
The details
The home, constructed in 1914, features preserved period architectural details and is situated on a 9,233-square-foot lot bordering the Presidio National Park. The property hit the market in late September 2026 and attracted nine separate offers before closing. This sale follows broader trends of extreme pricing for rare, legacy properties in the city.
Timeline
1914: The residence was originally constructed.
First half of 2026: 144 homes in San Francisco sold for $1 million over asking.
August 2026: The median house price in the city reached $1.855 million.
Late September 2026: The property was listed for sale.
October 7, 2026: The real estate transaction closed.
The Home Front
This sale exemplifies the current market trend where luxury properties command massive premiums far above initial listing prices. It follows the pattern set by the 144 homes sold $1 million over asking earlier this year, reinforcing the scarcity of high-end housing in San Francisco.
Homeowners in highly desirable areas bordering parks or landmarks should note that demand for unique, period-correct architecture remains strong. Consider having a local appraiser evaluate your property if you are planning to list, as current market volatility can lead to unexpected closing prices.
The takeaway
This transaction underscores that unique, legacy properties adjacent to major parks can still capture record-breaking premiums. Homeowners looking to sell should discuss how recent comparable sales in their specific neighborhood influence their strategy with a licensed real estate agent.
