This year's house is a $3M gorgeous Arts &amp; Crafts style four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home in Noe Valley, with a self contained apartment. </p>

<p>The house's <a href="http://www.sfraffle.com/HouseDetails.aspx">countless amenities</a>, such as the <a href="http://www.sfraffle.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?Id=5090">views</a>, <a href="http://www.sfraffle.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?Id=5040">back deck and hot tub</a>, three <a href="http://www.sfraffle.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?Id=3090">upstairs balconies</a>, and <a href="http://www.sfraffle.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?Id=2120">two</a> <a href="http://www.sfraffle.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?Id=4020">kitchens</a> would be a huge temptation to go with the house instead of the $1.5M, but as it's been <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/03/29/yerba_buenas_dream_house_raffle_ear.php#comment-1624280">noted numerous times</a>, unless the winner is already well off or owns property they can sell, the property and gift taxes would land an average Joe in the poorhouse.</p>

<p>For those interested in entering, you have until April 2 to <a href="http://www.sfraffle.com/HowToEnter.aspx">enter</a> the first <a href="http://www.sfraffle.com/EarlyBird.aspx">early bird drawing</a>.

Friday's the deadline for the <a href="http://www.sfraffle.com/Prizes.aspx">last (Grand Prize) drawing</a> of the <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/03/29/yerba_buenas_dream_house_raffle_ear.php">San Francisco</a> <a href="http://www.sfraffle.com/Overview.aspx">Dream House</a> Raffle, which benefits <a href="http://www.ybca.org/">Yerba Buena Center for the Arts</a>. <a href="http://www.sfraffle.com/HowToEnter.aspx">Buy a $150 ticket</a>, and you could win a $2.4 million <a href="http://www.sfraffle.com/Photos.aspx">Dream House</a> in the Sunset or $1.8 million in cash. Most people would be smart to take the cash, unless they can afford the huge taxes on the house. Or, if they already own a less dream-worthy house, they could sell it to pay the taxes, or something. Either way, your $150 benefits a great cause. The final, Grand Prize drawing takes place July 25.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
