This new four-story home establishes an understated but dignified urban presence on an atypically wide San Francisco site. A transitional two-story glass-walled entry hall draws users to an airy and open living level.

"Jim the Realtor is legit - I interviewed three brokers; he said list price should be $100,000 higher than the other two brokers; listed it with him and had all cash (no financing) offer in two days, five day contingency period, closing in two weeks - and it closed at his recommended list price. I could not recommend anyone more than I recommend Jim the Realtor. more "

"When we moved to San Diego in 2005 we rented a big house on Mt. Soledad (La Jolla) with 180 degree ocean views for the same payment as a mortgage on a dump in Chula Vista. Clearly something was wrong. Yet, the media was full of the usual happy-talk nonsense, so I was glad to find Jim's blog. I've followed his honest assessments and data since. more "

"Where do we begin..2020 has been a year for everyone. When COVID hit and shut down both my husband and my businesses, we were left with a mortgage and very little income coming in. We were stressed, scared and felt stuck. We made the hard decision to sell our home and move out of state. We contacted the Klinges' and spent a good hour going over what we hoped we could accomplish. Jim and Donna came over with comps in hand and suggestions on improvements to get our house ready for the market. It was overwhelming to think about, but Donna was there and one step ahead in every scenario. more "

"Jim and Donna Klinge made the sale of our condo extraordinarily easy. They know the market and gave us sound advice backed by details and very considerable experience, reflected both in the initial pricing and subsequent negotiations. They work together as a team and are always available to talk. more "

"I cannot believe there are no reviews of Donna yet, ugh!! She is the secret sauce of the Jim Klinge/Donna Klinge combo! I will touch on Jim here, but Donna is why I'm so totally loyal to these two (no offense to Jim :)).

"Jim and Donna Klinge are by far the most professional, personable and responsive realtors I have ever worked with. They provide VIP concierge level service in every area of the process of selling your home. My home was marketed so successfully that we received an offer the day after our first and only open house. Thanks to Jim's pricing and negotiating, our house is now the highest sold in our community... more "

I spent several years working and living in SF. This is gaudy and completely out of place with the rest of local architecture. Some serious greasing of the palms must have happened in order for this thing to be approved.
Look at the bits of adjoining properties that are visible in the first picture. #1 has it right on this one. It’s may be a lovely house, but it looks out of place.
I disagree. I go to school near SF (Santa Clara) and go into the city somewhat frequently. I love looking at houses and I love this neighborhood….and while the old, ornate homes are fantastic (of course), I think there is a place for a few modern ones. It adds a little ‘pop’ to a neighborhood that, while beautiful, can be a little staid & formal (along with Pacific Heights). There are a couple of other modern homes in Pacific Heights, which is one of my favorite neighborhoods….anywhere.
The bathroom is stunning….I love it. I may be the only one, but I do. I usually hate modern homes, but I think this is great. I like Sea Cliff better, though.

You have to get something like that….that’s an old one. Now that is living!
Thanks for sharing Jim. I used to live in that neighborhood which is couple blocks away from SF Chinatown and Northbeach (little Italy). This is a nice home among the 50+ years old homes.
College Joe, Pacific Heights is not that far away from Russian Hills but homes there are for the mega millionaires/elites. Russian Hill can’t compare to it. You definitely can compare Pacific Heights to Russian Hill…outrageous and ridiculously expensive.
I am with College Joe–I love the house and if you look at the 2nd to last photo–it fits it well with the units across the street in that are visible in that photo–must be turing to an eclectic pocket???
SF neighborhoods tend to be very eclectic unless you live on one of those historic tourist photo streets. Nobody in that neighborhood will give the different facades a second look.
I live nearby and wholeheartedly DISapprove. I like the house a lot, it just doesn’t belong there. Russian Hill, Pac Heights, Presidio Heights… those are not ‘hoods meant to be eclectic. There are many other areas where you (they) can build something modern like that. I don’t know how they got this approved (oh, yes, I do, and it sucks).
