Victorian Pond Becomes Cutting Edge Urban Home

The history of a city can often be traced by how it named its streets. During the Gold Rush and subsequent fever pitch of silver mining, the relatively isolated pioneering town of San Francisco’s streets were named after the ships that brought supplies, news, and people from the rest of the United States. Circa 1849 newspapers list the Mariposa, Minna, Alice, Jane, Elizabeth, Clementina, Annie, and Jessie as docking in SF, and these are early 1840’s examples of Happy and Noe Valley streets named after ships visiting the port. Streets were often named after natural surroundings, such as Bay, Ocean, Lake, the Beach and Hill,  which are all San Francisco Streets. 

As the city grew, they used the naming of a street as an honor. One Mayor’s brother named Hayes Valley Streets after his friends and gambling buddies. 

While researching Pond Street, we assumed it might have been named after a nearby pond. Instead, we discovered that Pond Street was named after Edward Bates Pond, the 21st Mayor of San Francisco. He served in the Victorian era and during a building boom in San Francisco from 1887 to 1891. He also made an unsuccessful run for Governor. His grandson, Samuel Pond, was Dean at Stanford University. This Victorian home was built in 1888, in the middle of Mayor Pond’s term.

Today, Pond is still a charming quiet Victorian-era one-block-long street contingent to the neighborhood library, fine dining, and the historic Market Street electric tram line. You could nip around the corner for lunch at Star Belly, walk to dinner at Zuni or Frances, or catch the Opera or Symphony afterward. On the weekend, take the tram to the Ferry Building for the Farmer's Market, award-winning restaurant A16, Acme Bread, Blue Bottle Coffee, and Stonehouse Olive Oil. 

55 Pond is the ideal location for exploring San Francisco and relishing the staycation of your dreams. Priced like a pied-a-terre, yet luxurious enough to be a full-time residence, yet cozy enough to fit into the green ”tiny house” movement, this home is a dream come true. There are no stairs for those needing easy access. Open and bright with loads of original charm, it is a chameleon of style with a flexible floor plan: exposed brick wall, sliding industrial room divider, stainless steel kitchen, sleek modern bathroom, and small private deck, twinkling fairy lights, and shared temperate garden yard with mature trees and plantings. 

Come see this home that was part of the city’s earliest moments and in the center of it all, and yet rests on a quiet one-block-long street.

Eureka Valley and Dolores Heights, which includes the world-renowned Castro district, have a wonderfully rich history as the epicenter of the gay rights movement. Today, the neighborhood is undergoing another transition as the long-standing gay community welcomes young families to the increasingly diverse neighborhood. On the eastern end, coveted Liberty Hill offers tremendous views and one-of-a-kind residences.
