Chicken John is selling his legendary warehouse located at 3359 Cesar Chavez Street at the foot of Bernal Heights in San Francisco. It is on the market with an asking price of $899,000.
This unique property is next to the Valencia Corridor/Mission District with very easy access to transit and freeways. The main portion is a spacious open warehouse/work area with 20 ft. ceilings and eight skylights. There is a large bright room above the front entry plus more offices/storage rooms.
There is a roof deck with hot tub. This property potentially might work for an architect, artist, cabinetmaker, plumber or contractor. Huge open kitchen has a Wolf range and two refrigerators. All appliances are included. Zero lot-line structure.
Chicken’s warehouse has been home to many unique events over the years, including the long running Ask Dr. Hal Show. Early on the warehouse even served as a location for Laughing Squid Web Hosting tech support when Paul de Jong lived there.
Here’s what Chicken has to say about the sale of his warehouse:
I’m caught in the mortgage crisis by association. I took a 5 year arm mortgage with a balloon payment thinking I could re-finance. There are no loans today for Showman with non-conforming warehouses. So it goes on the block. Hell, I’ll even finance it…..
Here’s one more reason to buy the warehouse, it comes with a wonderful “Chicken John Rinaldi For Dog Catcher” mural painted by Mongoloid.
