The 25 Most Expensive Homes for Sale in San Francisco

View as Map

It's been too long since we've mapped the 25 most expensive homes for sale in San Francisco. The top spot still goes to 2724 Pacific, which is asking $30M and is owned by Doug Engmann, former chairman of the Pacific Stock Exchange. We've got quite a few newcomers to the list, and several familiar abodes have taken significant PriceChops. At $17.5M, 3660 Jackson is San Francisco's fourth most expensive home, and the priciest on our list that's in contract. It was on the market for a mere week before it got an offer. Let's get this party started!

2724 Pacific, Pacific Heights

Copy Link

At $30M, this is the top dog in our Priciest Residential Real Estate Club. 2724 Pacific is a four-level, 7-bedroom home currently owned by Doug Engmann, former chairman of the Pacific Stock Exchange. The 13,500 square foot abode sits on a lot totaling more than 26,000 square feet, making it one of San Francisco's largest private residential parcels. Property highlights include (everything) a gorgeous solarium with koi pond, and a carriage house that doubles as a game room.

2712 Broadway, Pacific Heights

San Francisco's second most expensive piece of residential property is actually a plan to build on Billionaire's Row. It's listed for $28.85M. The design is by architect Tom Taylor of Taylor Lombardo. The listing tells us that this "is a unique opportunity to purchase and be part of the finished design or purchase the lot with entitlements to build for $18M."

3800 Washington, Presidio Heights

Copy Link

Halsey Minor, a technology entrepreneur who you may know as the guy who founded CNET in 1993, bought this "modified copy" of the Petit Trianon in 2007. The 8-bed, 7-bath, 18,000 sq. ft. mansion comes with the adjoining 2,618 sq. ft. guest home at 3810 Washington and a vacant lot (125 Maple) that's currently being used as a backyard. The three must be sold together. Curbed SF recently got a tour of the property, and it's in really bad shape. Holes in the ceiling, water damage to the original silk wallcoverings, outdated everything; the whole place will need a complete restoration. If it ever does sell and get the renovation it deserves, we sincerely hope the spectacular ballroom becomes wedding central. It's currently asking $21M.

Herbst Manor, or as some call it, "Mini Versailles" belonged to the late Lee Herbst Gruhn. Think Herbst Theater and San Francisco society dame.
