1901 Jackson Street

I had every intention to feature a more affordable property today, but after stumbling across unit #1 (of 2) in le "Chateau Bleu," I just couldn't resist. Built at the turn of the century by the Rothschilds and re-done in 2001, le "Chateau Bleu" has obviously been built with the high-end clientele in mind, however, I personally think it lacks cohesiveness design-wise. It seems as if the owner had differing tastes depending on each-and-every room of the two-unit property. For instance: a few rooms have beautiful tin or box-beam ceilings and stunning chandeliers, and then adjacent rooms have contemporary inlaid lighting. And don't get me wrong, I am not the purist type that believes that you absolutely cannot mis-match different interior styles, my problem with 1901 Jackson is that it lacks a cohesive vision - it's as if the owner wanted all of these amenities and features, but didn't want to put too much effort into "making it work" interior design-wise. Mr./Ms. 1901 Jackson should take a lesson or two on interior design from the lovely PMB estate (previous property of the day).

Here are the facts:
LOCATION: Pacific Heights
PRICE: $3,790,000
BORN: 1900 (although completely re-born: 2001)
- $711 / sqft
- 5 beds / 4.5 baths
- 5,333 sqft
- Seems as if the listing agent couldn't place a finger on how exactly to categorize this property either. It is described on the listing agent's page as, "colonial, contemporary, custom" hmmm..
- Elevator, garage with 4 enclosed spaces, top of the line kitchen and electronics throughout, small garden area, turn of century decorative opulence (original?), and snooty touches such as a "Car Here" alert system.
