"Uniquely situated on a vertiginous Russian Hill lot, 1135 Green St. is one of three homes that make up "Greencliff" and is a historic property created by an influential San Francisco architect in 1908. For sale now at $2.995 million, this Tudor-inspired condo offers vintage appeal as well as modern innovations - including a striking underground garage that could easily accommodate the Batmobile."
"The Greencliff property consists of three separate structures, each more akin to a single-family home than the typical condo. Their design is that of architect Maxwell Green Bugbee. Maxwell Bugbee was the descendant of architectural royalty: His grandfather was Samuel Charles "S.C." Bugbee, a man whose grand style enshrined the city's original "robber barons" in the regal mansions that rose along Nob Hill at the end of the 19th century."
"Quoting the Sacramento Daily Union, the Pacific Coast Architecture Database wrote that S.C. Bugbee was "a prominent architect of this city, and designer of the California Theater, Wade's Opera House, the residences of Leland Stanford [and] Charles Crocker," as well as the Colton mansion and Mills Hall in Oakland. (Some of these buildings were completed after S.C. Bugbee's sudden death in 1877)."
The 1135 Green St. unit sits on a steep Russian Hill lot as one of three homes forming Greencliff, listed at $2.995 million. The Tudor-inspired condominium blends preserved vintage character with modern innovations, including a notable underground garage. The three structures resemble single-family homes rather than typical condos. Architect Maxwell Green Bugbee designed Greencliff and descended from influential architect Samuel Charles 'S.C.' Bugbee, creator of grand Nob Hill mansions and civic buildings. Maxwell Bugbee favored quieter, comfort-oriented designs exemplified by his Barber House commission. The 1135 Green St. edifice features the architect's distinctive timber-and-shingle exterior.
