55 Pond St San Francisco, CA 94114

We discovered that Pond Street was named after Edward Bates Pond, the 21st Mayor of San Francisco. He served in the Victorian era and during a building boom in San Francisco from 1887 to 1891. He also made an unsuccessful run for Governor. This Victorian home was built in 1888, the middle of Mayor Pond's term. Today, Pond is still a charming quiet Victorian-era one-block-long street contingent to the neighborhood library, fine dining, and the historic Market Street electric tram line. You could nip around the corner for lunch at Star Belly, walk to dinner at Frances, or catch the Opera & Symphony. On the weekend, take the tram to the Ferry Building Farmer's Market, A16, Acme Bread, Blue Bottle Coffee. 55 Pond is the ideal location for exploring San Francisco and relishing the staycation of your dreams. Priced like a pied-a-terre, yet luxurious enough to be a full-time residence, yet cozy enough to fit into the green ''tiny house'' movement, this home is a dream come true. There are no stairs for those needing easy access. Open and bright with loads of original charm, it has a flexible floor plan: exposed brick wall, sliding industrial room divider, stainless steel kitchen, sleek modern bathroom, and small private deck, twinkling fairy lights, and shared temperate garden.
