A unique piece of San Francisco's history has emerged in the real estate market. A Noe Valley firehouse, famously converted into a residential home, is selling for $7.95 million. According to Noe Valley Firehouse, this four-story property at 3816 22nd Street retains its original early-20th-century firehouse facade.

Previously owned by renowned artists Beth Van Hoesen and Mark Adams, the building now houses more than just the remnants of its past; it incorporates a contemporary living space spanning over 6,000 square feet with five bedrooms, and it includes unique architectural features like a lookout tower and, as a nod to its origins, an original fireman's pole. Claudia Siegel of Compass, who listed the home, said, "It’s a great family house. A super cool family house," as per Mansion Global.

The residence boasts a double-height window wall, a metal spiral staircase, and numerous skylights that enhance the natural light within the home. Restorations have preserved the original Douglas fir floors and details like the red clay-tiled roof and copper brackets. Its layout includes a family room, office, and media room on the ground level. In contrast, the second level contains the main living area with two kitchens designed for daily use and entertainment, details of which were outlined by Noe Valley Firehouse.

The capstone of this property is its primary suite, located on the top floor, opening onto a private roof deck and crowned by a sloped glass ceiling. On the other side, they've also added a detached guest suite to the property's offerings. The listing notes the conversion encompasses an elevator that serves all levels, a spacious gym, tall zinc doors, and a garage with copper doors for those who appreciate historically-inspired touches with their modern amenities. The house has served as a creative haven for artists and a private abode for a tech executive from whom the current sellers purchased it in 2017 for $5.3 million, as mentioned in the Mansion Global coverage.
