The Oldest Homes on the Hill

BY ODIN THIEN-AN MARIN

According to the California Environmental Quality Act, buildings constructed more than 50 years ago that have architectural or historical significance may be considered potential historic resources. However, while many Potrero Hill homes were built more than a century ago, most haven’t been deemed sufficiently worthy of meriting extra protections. Just four Hill residences have been granted historical status by the San Francisco Planning Department. That doesn’t mean that other structures in the neighborhood don’t deserve preservation. It’s a long, contentious, and expensive process to be ranked historical. Most owners prefer to be free to modify their properties to suit new realities.

Hear it directly from Claudia’s clients!

“When we finally did find a home to buy and needed to sell our existing condo, we remembered how impressed we had been with Claudia and hired her to market our unit for us. She jumped right in, listened to our concerns, guided us through the often confusing process of real estate sales, handled the endless list of details, and best of all, represented us with class and professionalism.

We HIGHLY recommend Claudia to others who are interested in buying or selling a home. She is strong, tireless, knowledgeable, respectful and communicates really well. There are just not enough marvelous words that we can use to describe what a pleasant experience it was to work with her!”
