In this YouTube monologue, Austin Klar highlights the off‑market sale of a highly significant San Francisco home designed by architect George Holmesy in 1961. Holmesy, known for his role in the Sea Ranch master plan and a Maybach Award recipient, built the house for his family in the Third Bay tradition style, characterized by asymmetry, verticality, and rough‑sawn timber. The residence measures roughly 2,200–2,823 sq ft on a 2,843 sq ft lot, offering three bedrooms, a study, one full bathroom, two half baths, and an unfinished basement with expansion potential. The Holmesy family preserved the home in its original condition until its November listing, and Klar expresses hope that new owners will continue its legacy. The video ends with a call to follow for more Bay Area real estate content.

Chapters

This is one of the most architecturally significant homes in all of San Francisco, and it just sold in an off-market transaction. Architect George Holmesy, one of the architects behind the design of the Sea Ranch master plan community in Sonoma County and recipient of the Maybach Award for Lifetime Achievement in Architecture, built this house for his family in 1961. And this house is unlike many of the homes built on Liberty Hill. It is much more modern, emblematic of the style of home known as Third Bay tradition. That style of home is more known for its asymmetry, verticality, and rough sawn timber. The 2,200 2,823 square foot home sits on a 2,843 square foot lot and features 3 bedrooms, a study, 1 full bathroom, 2 half bathrooms, and an unfinished basement that is ripe for expansion potential. The Holmesy family meticulously maintained this home in its original condition before putting it up for sale in November, and I hope the new owners continue its legacy and tradition.
