errr, I see 979 york, but I don’t see anything for the 29th & mission ($9250) house, even after clicking on the old/new york house pix… unless I’m completely missing it.

I love that the Chronicle is linking to this post from their homepage. Nice work Todd, and Scott!

What I want to know is how much these places cost when they were built — in the 1910s? I can’t imagine!

johnny, for the answer to your question, click on either the old or new photos of the house.

Great post! I spent some time gazing at those ads in the window of that realtor, but alas, it was Sunday night and their office was closed.

So where is that 29th and Mission house? The hill seems to indicate the east of Mission at the foot of Bernal — maybe off Virginia? Don’t see anything on Mapjack or Sanborn that makes sense though…

Just thought, they must have the locked in, prop 13 tax rate.
