Open House Obsession: Noe Valley Shingled Cottage With a Heart of Modern Glamour

1507 Noe Street, Noe Valley $3.599M

Once an enclave of middle-class shingled cottages, Noe Valley has become the neighborhood of choice for the beneficiaries of San Francisco's tech boom. Historic preservation keeps the neighborhood's houses from being demolished, so many 19th Century houses lose their cramped floor plans, get lifted and expanded to meet 21st Century needs. Building codes and the Planning Department keep their new dimensions in check.

The owners of this new 4-bed, 3.5-bath house did get permission to demolish an older house in very bad condition and replaced it with one that  respects the other low-rise shingled houses on the block– and then expands to four floors in the back.

Behind a cottage-y shingled exterior, sleek finishes, like the powder room, below. The house is worth a visit just for the bathrooms, like the the master bath on the top floor.

Plus one of SF's best laundry rooms:

On the lowest level, a wine bar built up against the poured concrete foundation:

Open on Sunday, November 24th from 2:00PM to 4:00PM
