A rare treat today, folks, as a mansion inside Presidio Terrace, San Francisco's only gated community, lands on the market today for a cool $16,995,000.
This 1909 Colonial Revival at 26 Presidio Terrace features four floors, seven bedrooms, seven and a half baths, and approximately 9,405 square feet. In addition to the usual master suites and baths, it also comes with a home theater, wine cellar, massage room, exercise room, and au-pair quarters.
While the entire place has been wonderfully renovated, it still retains some of its Colonial charm. It also sits on one-quarter acre of land. Ideal for any Great Gatsby-like shindigs to be thrown in the yard.
Presidio Terrance—which features homes in the Beaux-Arts, Mission Revival, and Tudor Revival styles—was controversial back in the day. This small, 36-home neighborhood was initially built in 1905 as a master community for caucasians only. Its (horrifying) 1906 ad copy read: "There is only one spot in San Francisco where only Caucasians are permitted to buy or lease real estate or where they may reside. That place is Presidio Terrace."
Times have, thankfully, changed for the neighborhood over the last hundred years.
26 Presidio Terrace last sold in 2005 for $6,200,000.
