It was in July of this year that one of Noe Valley's Nove townhouses landed on the market asking $1,495,000. The 3-bed, 2.5-bath, 2,190 sq. ft. townhouse in the 9-unit LEED Platinum luxury development is a hot piece of contemporary real estate tail, so it was surprising to learn that it sold late Friday for $1,450,000, or $45,000 under asking. With its sustainability pedigree and location, we assumed it go for well above asking. [Redfin/Curbed SF]

The last time we checked in with 145 Magnolia was back in late January when it plopped back on the market with an asking price of $2,995,000. In 1998 the original structure was demolished and the 5-bed, 4.5-bath, 4-level contemporary Marina manse you see to the right was finished and ready for its close up by 2000. It sold that same year for $2.8M. We're happy to report that while it didn't get asking asking, it did manage to pull in $2,850,000. Congrats to all parties involved! [Redfin/Curbed]

Presidio Heights Mansion Sells at 1/3 Off: It shouldn't be taken as any...

It shouldn't be taken as any kind of "market indicator." More like an owner who knows when to fold 'em: The Presidio Heights house beer baron Adolph Coors built for his daughter Lulu in 1910 closed escrow yesterday for $10M. Which would seem a handsome sum except that is was listed for $15M in November, 2011. Still, a nice bit of change for this stolid bit of San Francisco social history in need of some updating. And good news for the city's coffers. The owners were "only" paying around 26K in property taxes– new owners will be shelling out over a 100K a year. [Curbed SF/Redfin]

Real Estate Sold: Zynga Founder Mark Pincus Sells His Cole Valley Home

× 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. Monday, January 23, 2012, by Sally Kuchar We first told you about Zynga founder Mark Pincus listing not one but two of his San Francisco abodes back in mid-December of last year. Both properties are prime pieces of San Francisco real estate, so its no surprise that rumors were swirling as to why Mr. Pincus and his One Kings Lane founder wife would list both homes at once. Some thought the influx of Zynga cash had the family seeking out a bigger and better manse, others suspected it had something to do with Vera Svenchina, a "stripper turned filmmaker turned nuisance against whom Pincus filed a restraining order" in 2010.

Listed in September for $2,189,000, 1572 Shrader in Cole Valley is the smaller and less expensive abode that the Pincus clan owns. The property received no offers, so its price was reduced to $1,970,000 a month later. It's a 3-bed, 3-bath, 3-level home that Pincus purchased back in 2005 for a mind-numbing $2,850,000. Shoot forward to today and the home's been sold for $1,890,000, a $960,000 loss.

The luxe, 1,700-square-foot terrace of Shyamalan's former NYC pad.

NEW YORK—The film director M. Night Shyamalan has found a buyer for the penthouse he's been trying to unload in the ritzy NYC neighborhood of Tribeca. The duplex, which was sold by Robert DeNiro's mega-broker son Raphael, had previously been listed for as much as $18.5M, but sold for just $9.5M. [The Real Deal]

LOS ANGELES—The prolific architecture firm of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill has just announced the addition of a Los Angeles Design Studio to their expansive empire. This is the second California office for the 75-year-old firm, whose previous West Coast foothold was in San Francisco. [CurbedWire Inbox]

FLORIDA—Unable to recoup more, the government has settled on $10 as a sale price for Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein’s Fort Lauderdale mansion. No, that's not a typo. The home, which had previously been appraised at $5M, was transferred to the mortgage holder for a single Hamilton. [The Real Deal]

Real Estate Sold: Nob Hill: Chinese-American Modern Sells at a Discount

× 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. Monday, July 25, 2011, by Philip Ferrato

This past May we covered 1157 Washington Street, the Modernist urban cottage on the edge of Chinatown, a charming '50s Chinese-American time capsule with great open views of the downtown skyline and the East Bay. The sophisticated little 3-bed, 2-bath house, built in 1954, closed last week for $900,000, $50,000 less than the asking price. It had been "pending" for a while, so presumably there were some contingencies to sort out. No word on whether the classic- and coveted- light fixtures were included, but the house has no parking or outdoor space. Check out the Smithsonian-ready kitchen in the gallery.

We learned a long time ago that if your name is Angelyne, your decor is indubitably pink. Our cousins over at Curbed LA report that the condo owned by the '80s billboard pinup queen has just sold for $600K. We're assuming the new owners have set aside extra funds for a decorator.
