Third Eye Blind Frontman Lists Circa-1880 San Fran Gem He’s Spent Years Restoring

When you think of a rockstar, visions of rowdy concerts and tour buses may come to mind. But, you may not have a clear picture of their home lives. For example, you may not know that famed Third Eye Blind frontman, Stephan Jenkins, likes to find and transform residences. Much like performing a show or writing a song, renovating a home takes creativity, collaboration, and patience to get everything just right. So, it’s clearly a great crossover for his skills.

Jenkins, who graduated from University of California, Berkeley before making it big as a musician, just listed a San Francisco townhouse he artfully restored. Asking $3.6 million, the two-story Italianate Victorian was built in 1880 and retains its antique radiance while feeling up-to-date for 21st-century living.

The lead singer shares, “I lived in the house for 12 years while lovingly restoring it. As an artist, I look at working on a house as a creative act and when it is complete, I start to look for the next one. 76 Liberty is now perfect, so it’s time to move on.”

It’s not all new or all original, but a dreamy melding of past and present. History lovers will surely appreciate the living room’s maple mantle with an original beveled inset mirror above it. At the same time, a new gas insert provides modern convenience to the special fireplace.

Further luxuries include Gaggenau and Sub-Zero appliances in the clean-lined, Bulthaup kitchen. The home’s original staircase leads you upstairs, where all four bedrooms await. Overall, the floorplan offers 2,300 square feet of living space along with a garden where you can enjoy the city’s crisp, Northern California climate.

If you want to live out your ‘Semi-Charmed Life’ at this San Fran gem, Daria Saraf of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
