My sports growing up were Tennis and Sailing San Francisco Bay - So forgive me if I have no understanding why people go crazy chasing an eggshaped ball which rarely ever touches a foot and we call ourselves World Champions when the rest of the world doesn't even play the same game of FOOTBALL (known as Soccer in the US.)
All that being said we are offering a beautiful home in Miraloma Park at 166 Encline Court for $869,000; featuring 3 Bedrooms, 2 and half baths - With a fabulous Center Patio, Formal Living Room, Formal Dining Room, Remodeled Kitchen, Remodeled Designer Bathrooms, Master Suite and an AMERICAN MAN-CAVE to watch the game in with access to a great landscaped garden and patio to BARBECUE Hot Dogs and Hamburgers all at the same time keeping an eye on the 'GAME'.
Come home to this private Victorian Hideaway, behind it's white picket fence & manicured garden, witness a truly sophisticated home. Refinished hardwood floors lead to a formal living room complete with an antique marble mantel & gas fireplace. Imagine delightful dinner parties in the formal dining room. Cook up something special in the huge remodeled kitchen while guests enjoy the OPEN FLOOR PLAN. If barbecue & outdoor entertaining are your style, you'll love the private patio & deck just off the sunroom. Retreat downstairs to your own private library, spacious master suite & second bedroom. Close to many neighborhood amenities like tennis courts, parks, shopping, dining & transit!
Amateur Home Movie - San Francisco 1955 - Be amazed: little traffic, a population count not much different than today, dairyland on Top of Twin Peaks, the ol' Cliff House and Playland at the Beach!!
Considering THEN AND NOW with a population barely 100,000 more NOW than THEN; we are fortunate to have many wonderful neighborhoods (villages) each with their own history to tell. Love those motion shots over the hood ornament!

Complimenting this grid, the Avenues start with 2ndAvenue at the foothills of Twin Peaks heading West, ending at the Great Highway and Ocean Beach.

At the Zoo you can gaze in wonder at the old Doggie Diner Head on Sloat across from the San Francisco Zoo memorializing a bit of San Franciscana. The neighborhood commercial strips each boast a different flavor catering to their followers, all very friendly and in many ways both urban and suburban.
