Follow up post, Russian Hill Jr. 1-bedroom for sale

By
Real Estate Agent with Compass CA DRE# 01215160

Last month I wrote about a small condo on Russian Hill that I fell in love with, and talked a bit about some of the things that make living on Russian Hill so very special. Here's that post.

I've been tracking 1147 Filbert Street, just off the cable car route on Hyde Street. This Junior one-bedroom was listed at $649,000 and sold for $746,000.

Someone has a great spot to live in San Francisco!

That's very common in San Francisco, and even more so in San Mateo county and the Silicon Valley towns, Barbara Todaro (PS--little Gianni is adorable!)

No parking for this Jr. 1-bedrooms, Kathleen Daniels but when you live on Russian Hill, 1/2 block from the cable car, down a staircase to North Beach and the FiDi, who needs a car??

Hello Sheila - I hope the new owner enjoys their special spot in San Francisco. Hop on a cable car, walk down the staircase to North Beach and the Financial District.....

Good morning, Lottie Kendall 

Thank you for your post. Russian Hill? Interesting. Why they call it Russian?

Hello Evelina Tsigelnitskaya - Russian Hill got its name in the early 1800s when graves of a number of Russian sailors were discovered there. We think of the Spanish influence here, but often forget that Russian sailors came this far south in their early journeys. Wishing you a great day.

I got it. Something new I've learned today with you! 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Hill,_San_Francisco

The neighborhood's name goes back to the Gold Rush era, when settlers discovered a small Russian cemetery at the top of the hill. Russian naval and merchant ships frequently visited San Francisco throughout the 19th century beginning in 1806, and there are several mentions of burials of crew members in the Russian Hill cemetery in the first half of the century. The cemetery was eventually removed, but the name remains to this day. Although Holy Trinity Cathedral, the oldest Russian Orthodox church in San Francisco, is located a few blocks away on Van Ness and Green Street, there is no significant Russian presence in the area, as the city's Russian community is located primarily in the Richmond District.

Lottie Kendall - It pays to keep your eye on prime properties. I like your follow-up to the original post. I look forward to more in the future.

That's quite a price to pay but if you can, and the location is perfect, it's absolutely wonderful. The proof is here. someone paid much more than asking price!

Good morning, Evelina Tsigelnitskaya - Lottie is short for Charlotte. Since my mother was Charlotte, I was always called Lottie -- it stuck! Have you visited San Francisco? Let me know when you do and we will explore Russian Hill and walk to Holy Trinity Cathedral.

Good morning Patricia Feager - without a doubt prices are high in the San Francisco Bay Area. In this northern area of San Francisco overbids like this one are commonplace in properties under 2M.
