Penthouse at 2100 Pacific Avenue, San Francisco

Pacific Heights PRE-WAR PENTHOUSE

2100 Pacific Avenue No.10 San Francisco, CA

A HISTORIC GENERATIONAL SALE There are few San Francisco penthouse apartments that can match the pedigree and stature of 2100 Pacific Avenue No. 10. As one of only two full floor 5,000+ sq. ft. pre-war penthouses in San Francisco, the rarity of this property sale is a generational opportunity for connoisseurs of fine residences.

Prominently positioned along the crest of Pacific Heights’ northern slope, this doorman building combines the elegance of a time gone by with the modern day convenience of proximity to Lafayette Park, the boutique Fillmore Street district, and downtown. Designed by noted architect Samuel Lightner Hyman and built in 1926, the penthouse’s refined exterior frieze detailing and Palladian windows complement the building’s Romanesque architectural elegance and instantly recognizable tile capped roof line. A timeless alchemy of design and natural beauty.

The unique 60 foot width of the northern public rooms commands sweeping views from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Nob Hill and downtown skylines, all the while, capturing the Palace of Fine Arts, Belvedere Island, and Alcatraz as iconic visual highlights. The apartment’s current configuration is open plan and is designed with dedicated art gallery spaces offering exciting opportunities to house significant art collections and invite large scale entertaining. A true showcase in the sky, the penthouse at 2100 Pacific Avenue awaits a new owner to carry forward the next chapter in this storied San Francisco residence.

Offered at $9,950,000

HISTORICAL NOTES The ownership and interior design pedigree of the residence offers the market a rare provenance. Purchased in 1949 by Walter Sr. and Elise Hass, a descendant of the Levi Strauss family, the couple enlisted legendary interior designer Frances Elkins to create a home for their significant art collection. Among other noteworthy paintings in the Haas collection, Matisse’s Femme au chapeau (1905) hung in the apartment’s grand living room. The 1990 Elise Haas bequest of the Matisse to SFMOMA, along with thirty-six other paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, was an instantaneous blockbuster gift to the museum’s permanent collection.

Upon the 1992 penthouse sale from the Haas estate to the current owners, a second and equally unique gallery residence was conceived by the city’s beau monde interior designer, Agnes Bourne. Taking a more contemporary approach by opening up the public room configuration and widening the access hallway to the south bedrooms, Ms. Bourne created a plan that capitalized on the sweeping views while creating intimate gallery spaces for the owner’s to showcase their highly curated art collection. A true gallery in the sky.
