MTV’s ‘Real World’ House in San Francisco Available for Unreal Price of $7M

Google Maps

Let’s stop being polite, and let’s get real. The home that served in 1994 as the setting for MTV’s “The Real World: San Francisco,” is on the market for the unreal price tag of $7 million. The building includes three units, encompassing a total of 3,705 square feet.

And what do all three units have in common? “Definitely the views,” says listing agent Stephanie Ahlberg. “All three units have sweeping Bay and city views. Even the lowest unit has the big sweeping view.”

The building in San Francisco‘s Russian Hill neighborhood is a detached triplex from 1925 that was completely redone about 10 years ago after a fire tore through the structure.

The aftermath of those flames mean you won’t feel any 1990s-era vibes with this property, as it’s significantly changed since the MTV staple aired. Sorry, Gen Xers.

What you will get: three completely renovated units, including new flooring, walls, updated kitchens, and baths. The exterior even got a face- lift, with re-sided limestone.

The units include a lower flat with French doors, limestone patio, and small garden. There’s a remodeled kitchen with stainless appliances and dining area, two bedroom suites, 2.5 bathrooms, plus a bonus studio with a remodeled full bath.

The middle flat features a living room with small balconies, a remodeled kitchen with dining area, two bedrooms, and remodeled bathrooms.

The upper unit boasts a great room with living and dining area, a remodeled kitchen, two bedrooms, two full remodeled baths, and direct access to a 1,500-square-foot deck with major views.

A buyer could purchase the building as an investment and rent out all the apartments, or even combine the top two and rent out the lower one, suggests Ahlberg.

The building is just steps from the famously crooked part of Lombard Street, and includes a five-car garage.

Although the remodeled building doesn’t resemble the pad from the TV show, that may not stop people from wanting to live there. It has definitely been a draw as a place to stay: The middle apartment, billed as the one filmed in “The Real World,” is currently available through Airbnb. The show was filmed on both the middle and top floors, in fact, and used the bottom unit as equipment storage space.

For those not in the know, the show chose a group of diverse strangers to live together and “get real,” with cameras rolling, in a pre-selected house and city, which changed every season. (In fact, the show returned to San Francisco—to a different address—for its 29th season in 2014.)

Set in the city by the Bay in the early 1990s, the show’s third season was considered ground-breaking, because it starred an openly gay, HIV-positive cast member, Pedro Zamora, who used the show to educate people about the disease.

Zamora married his partner, Sean Sasser, on camera, which the show claimed was the first time a same-sex commitment ceremony was filmed on TV. Their relationship became a TV event. Zamora died later that year, at the age of 22, after the season had wrapped.
