Revenge voodoo dolls are believed to possess the power to exact revenge on someone. Voodoo dolls are often associated with the practice of Voodoo, a religious tradition that originated in West Africa. A revenge voodoo doll is typically made in the likeness of the intended target using various materials, such as cloth, straw, or even wax. The doll is then adorned with personal items or belongings of the intended target, such as hair or clothing. The belief is that by manipulating or harming the doll, the person it represents will suffer the same fate. Many cultures have legends and stories about the power of voodoo dolls for revenge.

The Witches Hat (21 Buena Vista Avenue) Is Back

Asking $5,475,000 in 2006 and then re-listed and reduced a number of times to $3,900,000 over the next year, the 8,229 square foot “Witches Hat” at 21 Buena Vista Avenue ended up selling for $3,875,000 in December of 2007.

Returned to the market as a rental in 2009 asking $17,500 a month, the six bedroom home with 4 floors, 22 rooms, 1700 square feet of gallery space and a 3000 bottle wine room is now back on the market and listed for $6,500,000 in 2013.

While the current listing doesn’t yet feature any interior photography and the property has been repainted, likely inside and out, a complete tour of how the Victorian mansion looked and was laid out back in 2006 remains available by way of the Wayback Machine.

UPDATE: Interior photos for 21 Buena Vista Avenue have been added to the listing.

There appears to be an updated picture on the listing site. Hard to comment on this home without first seeing interior pics.

If there were no substantial improvements then yes, expecting a 70% profit over six years is very optimistic, especially considering how the market fared in those years.
I think that the seller is probably just fishing and will lower the price if they cannot find an appropriate fool quickly enough.

My question is, what is it REALLY worth? Seems like buyers will pay almost anything to own property in the Bay Area, yet default and cry they cannot afford their mortgages when the market drops. If you can afford $6.5m and feel it’s worth it then go for it.

Great house, at least from the outside. Having had to spend time there last weekend, I cannot fathom wanting to live in/near the Haight – especially for that price. It’s a beautiful part of the city, but who wants all those vagrants and sketchballs wandering around outside your house all day. Yes, there are less of them up the hill and it’s better than a year or two ago, but Haight St is pretty gross.

One of my favorite homes – remember thinking someone got a steal in 2007 after the price drops to $3.8M range. $6.5M sounds high for the hood but then again 15 Buena Vista sold for $6.6M and 181 Buena Vista sold for $7.2M (granted w/ a 2nd lot) and this thing is massive. I live at Page & Central and, per comments, agree it is no baby carriage friendly Noe or zip of Pac Heights, but it is a much better ‘hood then when we both bought in 07-09. And a $6M house north of California won’t buy you much of a view, especially provide 8,200 sq ft. (Btw – I can’t think of a house in the west half of the city this big. I’m sure it exists but I don’t know what a family would even do w/ that much space. The neighborhood will evolve/gentrify w/ the prices these ashbury height homes are demanding (similar to what is going on in the liberty heights area west of Valencia). And don’t forget the developing Divis corridor is as close to this house as Haight. Interested to see what this sells for.

Saw this house when it was on the market in 2006.
I have no idea how you utilize all that space — family of 10? And while the remodel was OK, it wasn’t all that creative or respectful of the original.
But the panoramic view in the MBR shower was worth about $1M of the asking, IMHO.

15 BV Ter is a double lot and 181 BVE is 5 lots. Both are comparable sq ft. There was another large 2 unit on BVE that failed to sell last year at just under $5M. This is way overpriced.

I just typed in 21 Buena Vista and found the website , there are about 75 pictures of the place. Wow, it looks amazing. I live a couple blocks up the street and to watch it be brought back to life as the quintessential San Francisco Victorian with all of the period detail is amazing. The little bits of gold on accent pieces is fabulous. The views look to die for and there are big open art gallery like spaces and grand stair cases. Whoever buys this will be buying a piece of SF history. I think it’s a deal at that price, it makes a statement. Some CEO out there will probably grab this in a second.
