13 bedrooms | 0 baths | 7,980 square feet
Built in 1885
Needless to say, this is by no means a practical purchase. And unless you’ve got Elon money, keep moving. Also, if you want a house with a bathroom, you’re SOL because there are a ton of bedrooms but zero bathrooms (sorry).
But I couldn’t pass on posting because of how damn majestic and grandiose this 1885 beast is. And why can’t we have more needlessly detailed woodwork and blood red carpeting in homes in 2026?
Here’s the realtor’s description.
250 Douglass Street is a rare heritage trophy property built in 1885, ideally located in the heart of Eureka Valley. The offering includes the iconic main building plus an adjacent RH-2 zoned buildable lot, currently with a rentable studio cottage, presenting a rare development or expansion potential. The historic main structure consists of 14 individually designed apartment units, all tenant-occupied and separately metered for PG&E. Building amenities include two sets of coin-operated washers and dryers and a single-car garage leased separately. The property also features a two-room non-residential office space with bathroom access; one room is currently leased to a business and the other is used as a building office. Potential exists to reconfigure these spaces into an additional residential unit, subject to approvals. Situated near public transportation and just minutes from the Castro District, the location offers close proximity to Kite Hill, Dolores Park, and an array of restaurants, cafs, bars, and neighborhood shops. Originally constructed as a grand private residence, the building showcases Baroque Queen Anne architecture, highlighted by a commanding faade, shingled roof, and distinctive towers. The building was designated a San Francisco Landmark (#80)on December 7, 1975. Interior features include a grand entry hall with stained glass windows, detailed woodwork, and a beautiful central staircase. The property has evolved over time and was converted into apartments in the early 20th century. Each unit features a unique layout and architectural character. Impeccably maintained by its current owners. An incredible opportunity to own a terrific investment property with historic significance.
