Kurt Manley for Pacific Union InternationalTucked into the bottom corner of a 110-year-old Victorian house in San Francisco is a 385-square foot apartment that has one bathroom and no bedroom. It’s selling for almost $US500,000.
It’s nestled in San Francisco’s tony Presidio Heights neighbourhood, where the median home price is almost $US5 million according to Redfin. So consider this half-a-million-dollar chateau a steal.
The home is being marketed as the perfect pied-à-terre, a French phrase to describe an abode that’s for occasional use. And given its tight footprint, unless you’ve got a thing for very small spaces, the home seems best suited for popping in periodically to lay your head.
