"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

FIRE ENGINE HOUSE #44



Practical? … No. That’s not the point. This is where Creativity lives.

Efficient? … Hardly… yet it is undeniably Inspired.

New? 
… 116 years new; repurposed, remodeled, and as timeless as ever.

Sensible? … Visionaries are rarely thought of as Sensible.

The magical residence at 3816 - 22nd Street (between Castro and Noe) is a converted 1909 San Francisco Firehouse that is among the most eclectic and soulful homes in the entire city.  Remodeled and repurposed to meet the creative needs of the next generation of Innovators and Entrepreneurs, the Firehouse is as much an artist’s palette, as it is an inspired residence. It is a playhouse for the young, and for the young at heart.

On the border between Eureka Valley and Noe Valley, it is in the immediate vicinity of several of San Francisco’s best loved neighborhoods.  And its central location makes it easy to get from here to there.

If it’s a typical Victorian Row House you want, 3816-22nd Street may not fit the bill.

But if whimsy and aesthetic beauty matter to you… If you know the secret to a joyful life is to surround yourself with the Best People… If you’ve always taken the road less traveled because you live your Life to Create; then Engine House #44 awaits you.

about this

EUREKA VALLEY / NOE VALLEY

For those seeking charm, convenience, and long-term value, Eureka Valley and Noe Valley stand out as two of San Francisco’s most desirable and livable neighborhoods.

Eureka Valley, anchored by the historic Castro district, offers a unique mix of cultural depth and urban energy. Home to beautifully preserved Victorian and Edwardian architecture, the neighborhood features character-rich residences that reflect San Francisco’s historic roots. Its residential streets are quiet, yet just steps from Castro Street’s vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment options.  Beyond its architecture and location, Eureka Valley is known for its strong sense of San Francisco urban culture and community, that continues to shape the neighborhood today. With panoramic views from many homes and pleasant year round weather, Eureka Valley offers both lifestyle appeal and long-term investment potential.

Noe Valley complements this charm with a more tranquil, sun-drenched residential feel. Sheltered by Twin Peaks, Noe Valley enjoys more sunny days than most of San Francisco—making it a bright retreat from the city’s famous fog. From quaint, upgraded row houses to spacious condos, the homes offer larger-than-expected floor plans. The area is also prized for its commuter-friendly location: residents can stroll to the Muni J-Church line and reach downtown or even Silicon Valley with ease. Numerous bus lines and nearby highways further enhance its connectivity.

Two commercial corridors, 24th Street (in Noe Valley) and Castro Street (in Eureka Valley), provide a diverse range of highly rated dining establishments, boutiques, grocery stores, and essential services. A sprinkling of local amenities, including dog parks, playgrounds, and recreation centers, are just some of the countless neighborhood perks enjoyed by residents and visitors who value outdoor space and an active, social lifestyle.
