Buying SF’s Most Expensive Homes with the Powerball
You’ve probably answered this question in your head nearly 1.5 billion times this week: What would you do with your winnings if you won the $1,500,000,000 Powerball jackpot?
If you take the annuity option as the New York Times recommends, you would bring home $1,125,000,002 over thirty years after federal taxes, according to USA Mega. (Oddly, California does not tax lottery winnings.) That means if you hypothetically won tomorrow night’s Powerball, you could buy San Francisco’s 20 most expensive homes currently on the market for $129,768,000 and still be a billionaire. (If you still consider someone with only $995,232,002 to be a billionaire, that is.)
So — you Powerball winner, you — let’s take a look at the three most expensive “investment properties” you were able to purchase with that chump change.
1. 1032 Broadway Street | $12,000,000
1032 Broadway Street is one of the most expensive currently listed homes in San Francisco. Built in 1853, this charming 3,890 square foot, four bedroom home is “located on a secluded lot on ‘The Summit’ of Russian Hill” and enjoys incredible City and Bay views from almost every room. Gorgeously updated, this residence includes a gourmet kitchen, formal dining room, study with fireplace, and spectacular viewing terraces with an outdoor fire pit.
