Strolling through Noe Valley

With all this amazing weather lately its hard not to find yourself smiling. I was speaking with another Realtor on tour who told me how she started her day sipping a coffee at Cafe Trieste.

"Its was hard for me to leave" She said as we made our way up the forth flight of stairs.

"There was the wonderful scent of fresh coffee, a freshly baked croissant and the two police officers in line."

I smiled and knew all to well what she meant.

San Francisco has often had me by her grasp of good weather and food. There's the sudden urge to throw the day away and wander the streets in search of the next bite to eat, a new shop to check out and inevitably ending with a glass of Northern California wine and a conversation with a stranger.

More often than not though that day dream is washed away with the realty of work. Because if you're going to live in this city we all know you'll need to earn it.

This last week my clients search brought me to Noe Valley. My brother used to work at the bakery here and often brought us home bags of day old bread we would either eat right up or save to feed the ducks out at Stow Lake with my Father.

Noe has changed quite a bit over the years. There has been a big Tech boom and many of the millions made have gone right into homes in this fair part of town.

Here are a few that caught my eye this week.
