    "This is a tremendously rich area. The drive up Broadway Terrace either from College Avenue or from Montclair restaurant options is about 6-9 minutes. The proximity to all that hub and buzz and the exclusiveness and scenic beauty the home offers transports me back to the days I spent in the Lugano district of Switzerland overlooking the Mediterranean. Can't believe that in San Francisco the price for a third of this type of home with none of the privacy and a huge HOA to boot is probably twice as much!!"
