A Landmark Queen Anne Residence


Welcome to the McCormick House, one of San Francisco’s most celebrated Victorians. Built in 1902 by architects Kidd & Anderson, this High Queen Anne landmark is crowned by a rare Exotic Revival gold onion dome, a striking architectural statement and true neighborhood icon.

The home offers five bedrooms and two baths, with timeless white oak flooring, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light throughout. An array of original period details remains intact, including fine woodwork, paneled walls, original mantels, curved glass windows, and classic patent stone entrances and steps, hallmarks of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship.

Set at the crossroads of Corona Heights and Eureka Valley, the residence reflects the neighborhood’s early 20th-century transformation. Dramatic outlooks capture views of the Castro Theatre and the iconic rainbow flag, anchoring the home within one of San Francisco’s most culturally significant districts. The ground level provides generous storage and flexibility, while four expansive levels and over 3,475 square feet of living space offer exceptional potential for restoration.  Offered for the first time in 55 years, this trophy Victorian presents a rare opportunity to steward and revive a true San Francisco architectural treasure. Ideally located near Castro Muni, Mollie Stone’s, beloved coffee shops, and the vibrant energy of the Castro.

Neighborhood

Eureka Valley has a rich historical and cultural landscape. Located between the Castro and Mission Districts, the area offers a unique residential experience that blends urban energy with community intimacy.

Castro Street serves as the neighborhood's primary commercial corridor, providing a diverse range of dining, shopping, and essential services. Transportation options include multiple Muni bus lines, with convenient access to regional transit that connects residents to broader San Francisco and the Bay Area.

Victorian and Edwardian homes define the neighborhood's architectural character, creating a visually distinctive streetscape that captures San Francisco's late 19th and early 20th-century residential design. Many structures remain carefully preserved, maintaining original details that reflect the neighborhood's historical roots. Twin Peaks, a dramatic natural backdrop, offers residents panoramic views of the city and surrounding landscape.

What distinguishes Eureka Valley is its remarkable balance of historical depth and contemporary urban living. The neighborhood has played a critical role in San Francisco's LGBTQ+ history, serving as a center of cultural significance and community activism. From its vibrant street life to its meticulously maintained residential streets, Eureka Valley represents a unique urban environment where architectural heritage, cultural diversity, and community spirit converge.
