1461 Page Street, San Francisco

6 BD | 2 BA + 2 ½ BA | 5 PKG | 6,545 Sq Ft

A San Francisco Original

Designed in 1902 by Salfield & Kohlberg, the architects behind SF's treasured Sentinel Building, this landmark Victorian is one of San Francisco's great historic homes. The front building is a Single-Family Home with a small legal in-law unit on the ground floor. There is also a carriage house at the rear of the property. 

The main residence spans over 5,000 square feet across three levels: six bedrooms, two full baths, two half baths, two living rooms, and original detail that stops you in your tracks. Hand-carved woodwork, original stained glass, coffered ceilings, decorative fireplaces, and hidden solid wood pocket doors. Refinished hardwood floors, new window treatments, updated lighting, and a newly remodeled kitchen with top-of-the-line Fisher & Paykel and Bosch appliances bring it firmly into the present. 
The property includes two legal, separate income-generating dwellings: a rear carriage house (rented for $3,550/mo) and a ground-floor one-bedroom (rented for $2,135/mo). A true compound suited for flexible living and lots of room to grow. 

Infrastructure is comprehensively updated: upgraded electrical system with 200-amp service and knob and tube removed. New copper plumbing, solar with battery backup, and central A/C, which is a rarity in SF. Five-car parking with Tesla EV charging, two stacked washers and dryers, and fresh exterior paint round out the offering. 
Ideally located on Page Street, one of the best streets in San Francisco and an official slow street, situating this home within walking distance to the Panhandle, NoPa, Buena Vista Park, and Haight Street.

The Story of 1461 Page Street

In May of 1902, John George Rapp purchased this lot and commissioned the architectural firm Salfield & Kohlberg to build his family's residence. The firm — also responsible for San Francisco's Columbus Tower — completed the home later that year for $7,000. Rapp, who had risen from beer bottler to Vice President of the Ranier Beer Agency, moved in with his wife Theresa and their daughters. A coachman named Joseph Worth lived on the property in the rear carriage house.

The Rapp family lived here until 1916. Much of what they built remains: the original stained glass, hand-carved woodwork, coffered ceilings, decorative fireplaces, solid wood pocket doors, and the carriage house in the rear. The original blueprints by Salfield & Kohlberg are still in the home today.

1461 Page Street is listed on San Francisco's Historic Property Registry.

Property Tour

Neighborhood

At the center of Haight Ashbury is one of the most famous intersections in America. The epicenter of the counter culture movement, home to the Grateful Dead, the Haight Ashbury Free clinic, and the hippies of the 60s, today Haight Ashbury still retains a heady whiff of those free-spirited days, grounded by a new civic awareness and neighborhood pride.

Tourists still come from around the world to check out the action on Haight Street, and they find plenty of it. Trendy boutiques like Upper Playground, Buffalo Exchange and American Apparel sell the coolest looks. Independent record store Amoeba offers free in-store performances and proves there's still life in the music industry. When the hubbub of Haight Street proves too much, Golden Gate Park, with its new world-class museums, the DeYoung and the California Academy of Sciences, offer a calm oasis.

Renovation of the neighborhood Victorians continues apace. Converted to apartments in the 60s these homes are being rediscovered by families who take them on as hobby, pastime, passion, and investment. For families with young kids, the Haight Ashbury Coop Nursery School, now in its third decade, provides an inexpensive alternative to day care from its home in the Alma Street playground.
