That's Rather Hideous: Toile-decked Condo Seeks Your Fancy Attention

× Like us and you'll find top breaking news in your Facebook newsfeed. Sign up for our daily email newsletter and get top stories and breaking news delivered to your inbox. Tuesday, January 3, 2012, by Abby Pontzer Today we bring you a 2-bed, 2-bath condo on the tippy top of Nob Hill across the street from Huntington Park and Grace Cathedral. It's listed for a mere $2,750,000 and boasts a very pinkies-up location and some killer views of the bay. Of course, we're not crazy about the HOA at a thumbs-down amount of $2,220 per month, and less crazy still about some of the decor. There's an awful lot of carpet, though it looks to be in good shape, and some seriously questionable window treatments. We can't even bring ourselves to talk about the matchy-matchy toile explosion bedroom and bath. We hope that someone will make like Maria in The Sound of Music and make dresses for the children out of those curtains. What are your ideas for the rest of the decor left behind for the lucky buyer? Please, dear readers, think of the children.

Been so busy paying attention to our local world champions that you forgot SF has another pro team? Turns out the 49ers and this "football league" they play for is having a rough time of it right now and causing a problem at, of all places, city hall. A looming lockout would mean that no football would get played next year, which would mean the Niners wouldn't have to pay rent on Candlestick. Now, we've tried this with our landlord, but it turns out even if we quit our jobs like a bunch of babies, he's still expecting a check on the first of the month. The city Recreation and Parks Department could be out up to $3,500,000 if no football is played. [SF Appeal]

[MRIS Blog] Kitchens Remain A Home’s Center Of Attention, Not Toast

As I expand my market research to the Washington DC and Baltimore housing markets (market reports coming soon) for MRIS, the largest MLS in the US and their research group, RealEstate Business Intelligence (RBI), I am dropping in on their blogs fairly regularly to share my thoughts, ranging from the technical to the whimsical.

Either way, it keeps me out of the kitchen.

In this post I talk about home remodeling forecasts only as an excuse to complain about the lack of improvement in toasters over the past 50 years…
