Art Deco Home

I saw an art deco Sunset style house last weekend (built 1940, 44 Nahua Avenue, Outer Mission), which is a bit of a rarity in San Francisco. If you look, they are definitely around, but of the Sunset style homes on the market, I would definitely say that those built in the style would be less than 10%, possibly 5%. Here's the listing:

The exterior has got the nice but simple rounded corners and speed lines, which you might consider less Art Deco and more Moderne:


The living room is unique. It's got the traditional corner Spanish style fireplace that many San Francisco Sunset style houses from the 1930's have, but has a beautiful Art Deco tiered ceiling:



The movie The Shining features a ballroom with just such a ceiling, but more elaborate (of course, it was a 1970s movie set, but meant to evoke Art Deco):


It's got a nice and big center patio in good condition:


The kitchen has been re-done recently, looks tasteful:


The dining room has nice subtle molding:


Original tiled bathroom:

Cute but small backyard:

Finally, Nahua Avenue is steep and is right next to the freeway, but has nice curb appeal:
