Even if you’ve never visited San Francisco, I bet a certain type of home comes to mind when you think about the unique architecture there. The classic homes are Victorian in style, and they were built to stack close together on the crowded, sloped streets.
And that’s exactly the style of home that recently got towed a few blocks through the street, only to be sat down a few blocks away.
A whole house, y’all. On wheels, down the road, around corners and everything. What.
The 139-year-old home, known as the Englander House, contains 5,170-square feet. It originally resided at 807 Franklin Street, but has now made its way to 635 Fulton Street, which isn’t too far away.
Residents along its path came out to watch the “parade,” gawking at the fact that we can literally pick up and put down entire, giant houses these days.
Camilla Blomqvist, who witnessed the house go by, spoke with the San Francisco Chronicle.
“It’s the most excitement I’ve had in 10 years. What if it topples?”
Local resident Tim Brown has owned the home since 2013 and had planned to fix it up, but instead he decided to also buy a mortuary next to where the house sits now and turn the entire thing into a 47-unit apartment complex.
The house itself will house 17 separate apartments.
I’m not going to lie, I kind of want to live in one – or at least, see what they’re going to look like inside.
But that could just be the 90s kid who watched Full House obsessively talking.
