Just couldn’t wait for someone else to join the map, so I just closed escrow on my second (dream) home in San Francisco. Fortunately, I only have to pay in virtual dollars.
I have always loved San Fran from the time I was very young, possibly even before I knew it was San Francisco, but just knew it as that magical place we went every Christmas. Unfortunately, it’s been many years since I’ve been there just for vacation, with no work, no family visits / tragedies, etc.
We were there last weekend, and San Francisco staged a perfect weekend to make sure that was where my heart belonged: clear skies, lots of sunshine, not too cold…
Paradise
My virtual dream second home is 1/2 block from the Presidio in what is called the Gold Coast. Has views of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges from every floor. If you zoom way, way in on the map and go to street view, you can see it. It is on 1/3 !!! of an acre, and the lot goes all the way to the downhill street.
I am also joining the Olympic Club so I can play on their 3 golf courses. I will occasionally play at the Presidio and Harding courses. The house has I don’t remember how many bedrooms (5 or 6), so visitors welcome, and if you play golf, you can be my guest at the Olympic Club.
