This property is on the market for $39,500,000, listed with Compass.

The French-Normandy manor was built in the 1930s by American architect Albert Farr and reflects the grandeur of Old San Francisco, complete with magnificent Golden Gate Bridge views.

In 2016, the luxury home was completely reimagined by Handel Architects, following a down-to-the-studs renovation from Matarozzi Pelsinger, opening and illuminating the space with new steel and glass windows and incorporating a light, clean palette with bleached oak, limestone, and marmorino plaster detailing on the ceilings, and silk wallpaper.

The 9865 square foot mansion offers 6 bedrooms, 7+3 bathrooms, and 2 chef’s kitchens, with notable upgrades such as a new lower level outfitted with a sauna and steam room, a redwood-panelled, chandelier-lit auto gallery, and a 3,000-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar, which hides a secret cigar room behind a mirrored back wall.

The Presidio Heights mansion has recently had 12% knocked off its original listing price, yet remains the most expensive home for sale in San Francisco.
