The silver‑painted Victorian at 1164 Fulton Street, the one staring straight across at Alamo Square Park, has officially changed hands for $9.125 million, setting a new price record for the neighborhood. The five‑bedroom, roughly 4,600‑square‑foot home hit the market this spring at $11 million and ultimately closed well under that number. The sellers were tied to Stripe co‑founders John and Patrick Collison.
Public sale records and the local MLS show the house went into contract in mid‑April and officially closed last Friday for $9,125,000, according to Redfin. That final price lands roughly $2 million below the $11 million asking figure recorded when the property first came on the market in February, a sizable haircut in exchange for a quick deal at the top of the local market.
Inside the Alamo Square Victorian
The Compass listing for 1164 Fulton spotlights a full 2016 gut renovation that pairs a restored Victorian facade with contemporary interiors, including wide‑plank white oak floors and a Heath Ceramics‑clad fireplace. The agent’s property page also calls out an elevator that runs from the one‑car garage up to a top‑floor atrium, motorized laser‑cut aluminum privacy screens at the rear, and a roof deck with city views. The MLS pegs the interior at about 4,655 square feet with five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, the kind of high‑end package agents say is still commanding attention in San Francisco. Full property details are listed on Compass.
Neighbors, ownership and the block
According to The San Francisco Standard, John and Patrick Collison had steadily built up their footprint on the square in recent years and originally acquired 1164 Fulton in 2017 through LLCs. The Collisons also owned the duplex next door, which public records show changed hands on April 7 for $4,000,000, a sale reflected on sites such as Realtor.com. The Standard’s reporting notes that the same CPA signed documents for both 2017 purchases and identifies a signatory connected to Stripe’s accounting team, linking the paper trail back to the company’s leadership.
What the sale signals
While a handful of other homes along the park have traded in the $7 million to $8 million range this spring, the Fulton Street closing still sits a notch above those comparables and shows how a small group of parkfront properties can outrun the rest of the neighborhood. Local sales listings and recently closed transactions compiled by Redfin indicate the Fulton result topping nearby deals and underscoring where demand for single‑family homes remains strongest.
Compass agents Mollie Poe and Declan Hickey are listed as representing the buyers, and listing agent Nina Hatvany told The San Francisco Standard that the sellers “seemed happy that it’s sold, even at a number below the original ask. Whether the Collisons plan to keep a foothold in San Francisco remains an open question, as their recent purchases outside the city have drawn attention as they reshuffle their real estate portfolio.
