Sea Cliff Contemporary, Estate of the Day
Today's home has some of the best views of San Francisco's Golden Gate bridge I've ever seen. The home in the Sea Cliff area is set high on a cliff and behind a gated drive. The wood and glass home is cantilevered over 55 steel pillars. The decor is pretty dated and there are some questionable finish choices such as the black stone and dark wood in the kitchen and the pale carpeting in the main areas. The listing says that there are approved plans for a huge addition of around 3,500 square feet which makes sense since the home is less than 4,000 square feet and has just two bedrooms.
A Socket Site post from last year provides more details. The home was listed at $18 million last year but was as low as $9 million back in 2002. It has been on and off the market for ten years. Frank Lloyd Wright may have done a preliminary design for the site but his drawings bear only faint resemblance to this home. It is listed at $11.5 million.

Isn't this the house from A Summer Place with Sandra Dee?

Dated, but very cool. Still a bit pricey, but location, location, location! By the way, what has happened to the Sunday week end round up. I really miss it.

So, that's $200K for the house and $11.3M for the site?
I wonder if the reality of the collapsing real estate bubble is ever going to reach this seller.

certain aspects definitely need updating (whats up with the furniture and also the floor tile in the kitchen????), but that view is pretty incredible.
