“With English Tudor Revival details intact, 146 Castenada Avenue has all the drama and theater you’d expect from a home once owned by Frank Passa. On the market now for the first time in 23 years, it’s asking $3.8 million.
Passa was an antique violin dealer, a member of the Family Club of San Francisco and the Entente International Society of Violin and Bow Makers and a musician with the SF Opera. A 2001 obituary for Passa said, “Mr. Passa served in the Army during World War II and then began his career in San Francisco crafting and restoring violins and bows, a job he kept for 51 years until he was forced to retire two years ago because of illness.”
