From Agent: ,The San Francisco home that architect George Homsey built for his family in 1961 is available for the first time. Built at a time when Holmesy was beginning work on the Sea Ranch, this home is a wonderful original example of the Third Bay tradition. Homsi lived in a high-rise home overlooking Castro and the Mission until his recent death. The three-storey, tile-clad building exudes a quiet confidence and doesn’t reveal much; Only the expressive decoration of the skylights and domes indicate the complex and carefully planned program of the interior spaces. You can really see how the architect lived in the space.”
The layout of the house is vertically oriented, and in some places the levels are open to each other, such as this double-height living room.
The shower’s lush tiling, natural light and organically shaped grab bars bring an outdoor feel inside.
Architect George Homsey said, “The house is just a structure.” “Art is outside. You want to create minimal distractions inside so that your eyes are drawn outside.”
Located on Liberty Hill, the home offers panoramic views of the city’s north side.
