Real estate prices in San Francisco continue to shatter records with the median sale price of the home

nearing one and a half million dollars that's according to Redfin but the Bay Area is buzzing about one prominent

that turns out is not all it's cracked up to be our dear

This is a video of the home from Architectural Digest four years ago when it was listed

The suit points to issues like shoddy workmanship, the widespread presence of mold,

leakage from that infinity pool, and defective piping that dumped raw sewage on the property.
