I know this house is way outside the range of most people, but I really liked 226 Edgewood, and here’s why.

Fabulous location. Really. You don’t find many homes on the market near UCSF in Parnassus/Ashbury Heights. That neighborhood, in Real Estate speak, actually covers a pretty large area. The area where 226 Edgewood is, is a pretty small area that is accessed by two streets off Parnassus; Willard and Woodland. It’s wooded, secluded and gorgeous up there. Wonderful views, well located and close both Cole Valley and the Inner Sunset neighborhoods. Bonus, the street is a brick paved street.

Here’s the scoop. Three level, Craftsman inspired home (with some Frank Lloyd Wright details) set back from the street on nearly a quarter of an acre gated site. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two car-car port, wooded lot with a stunning garden. All levels of the home and the garden have a wonderful down town view.
All for only $3.5 million. Now, I know that’s a lot of money. But, I see a lot of houses and there are bunches of $3-4 million dollar homes out there. Given all this house has and where it is-I can’t imagine a better deal for the money on the market now.
