San Francisco's new top property is the penthouse at Lumina, the wildly fancy, amenity-rich condo building now under construction in South Beach. Last month, the team behind Lumina announced that the 14,000-square-foot unit is up for sale for $49 million. The condo is the equivalent of eight lesser Lumina units.Rendering via Tishman Speyer/steelblue

San Francisco got a new leading lady when 2701 Broadway came on the market in early November for an eye-popping $39M. The price is $12 million above the 7-bedroom neoclassical revival's 2012 sale price, even though the photos indicate few changes since then. The home features a master bedroom that could be confused with a formal living room, a master bath tricked out like a bridal boutique, and a full-size indoor basketball court.

What is now San Francisco's third most expensive piece of residential property is actually somewhat tricky to price, because it's really just an under-construction new home on Billionaires' Row. Last we checked in, the broker estimated the price at a lofty $32M but acknowledged that the final price will depend on the upgrades and finishes the buyer selects. Last year the same plans (including the lot and entitlements to build) were ballparked at $28.85M, so either construction costs have gone up, or this year's buyers of phantom houses are more demanding than last year's. The home is expected to be complete by the end of the year.

Halsey Minor, a technology entrepreneur whom you may know as the guy who founded CNET in 1993, bought this "modified copy" of Marie Antoinette's Petit Trianon in 2007. The 8-bed, 7-bath, 18,000-square-foot mansion comes with the adjoining 2,618-square-foot 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. When Curbed SF toured the property in 2012, it was in really bad shape—holes in the ceiling, water damage to the original silk wall coverings, outdated everything. The whole place will need a complete restoration. Hence the serial price chops over the years, from $25M down to $21M and now $17.995M. If it ever does sell and get the renovation it deserves, we sincerely hope the spectacular ballroom becomes wedding central.

This Neo-Tuscan mansion came on the market back in 2012 asking $19.5M. It's now asking $16.995M. The 8-bed, 5.75-bath abode played host to the 2011 San Francisco Decorator Showcase. The Oakland Tribune published a rumor in 1940 that Princess Stephanie von Hoohenlohe, a "notorious member of Hitler's spy organization," went into hiding here around that time.

Designed and built in 1912 by Bay Area architect Louis M. Upton, this rather enormous property has more bathrooms (5 full, 3 half) than bedrooms (4). More recently its fulsome 8,675 square feet were spiffed up by interior designer Ken Fulk. The house quietly listed back in May for $15.998M and recently dropped to $14.5M.

The Villa de Martini, which sits atop Telegraph Hill, has popped on and off the market since May 2014. It started with an asking price of $16M but has now lowered its expectations to $13M. The estate comes with a Tesla charging station, a 4-bedroom Mediterranean-style house, and sprawling grounds.

$12M houses usually flex at least a little muscle and pose gamely for the camera, in that reassuring welcome-to-the-money-pot sort of way. But at 161 years old, 1032 Broadway doesn’t even have to try. The Atkinson House, a.k.a. San Francisco Landmark 97, is one of the first Italianate villas built in these parts, just on the outskirts of the original settlement at Yerba Buena. It was built in 1853 (probably) by William H. Ranlett, renovated at the turn of the last century by Willis Polk, and nestled behind a living green wall at some point. This historic abode has 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, and the proper checklist of archways, classical columns, and one grand chateau-style fireplace.

This Royal Towers two-bedroom just went through a complete transformation that included the addition of custom-made furniture. All of the furnishings come included, making the $10.5M ask practically a steal (though the condo's price works out to a nearly unbelievable $3,164 per square foot). HOA dues aren't included in the listing, but they must be through the roof.

A full-floor co-op in one of Pacific Heights' most storied buildings listed in November for $9.95M. It has since made it official on the MLS, offering a glimpse inside its somewhat spartan interiors. It was originally built as a 4-bedroom but has been turned into a very spacious 2-bedroom.

Though it’s been around since 1899, the giant white wedding cake at 3636 Clay has only ever had four owners. Anyone looking to be number five will need to shell out $9.5M for the privilege of striding through its grand fondant-striped foyer (which, as the brokerbabble helpfully points out, is “a great spot to make toasts”). Wedding topper figurines in need of housing should take careful note of the parking situation, which is currently nonexistent (though a permit to build a garage is attached to the property). The house initially wanted $11M but took a price cut a few months after coming on the market.

This big, beautiful flip changed everything but the views during its renovation over the past few years and is now asking $9.5M. There are 6 bedrooms, a perfectly landscaped backyard, and fantastic views of the adjacent yacht club.

This boxy modern 4-bedroom, owned by former Clorox chairman and CEO G. Craig Sullivan and his wife, Maureen Sullivan, is just a block away from the twisty part of Lombard Street. The couple listed it in March of last year for $9.95M and failed to find a buyer. Now it's back for $8.95M. The place has been completely rebuilt since it first went up in 1938, but the views are the main attraction here.

This fancy Beaux Arts flip is currently looking for $7.75M after selling for $2.8 million back in 2012. It feels both more thoughtful and more livable than many other flips, with big, elegant windows and moldings everywhere. Sadly, the big new house replaces some former rental units.

Yet another very expensive flip, this three-bedroom Russian Hill condo got rid of its beige carpeting and doubled its price to $7.5M. That's a stunning $3,054 per square foot, a price perhaps largely based on the unbelievable views in every direction.

Living at the St. Regis has never been cheap, and this three-bedroom corner unit is no exception. It is priced at $6.995M and features clubby interiors with lots of wood and architectural millwork, a library, and city views.

This 1889 Queen Anne was purchased by flippers who bought it in 2013 for just over $2.5 million. It hadn't been sold in more than 100 years before that. The 6-bedroom home's stunning entryway was removed, as was much of its character. It's now back on the market asking a depressing $6.595M.

This Sea Cliff mansion's status as a total fixer-upper hasn't stopped it from asking $6.298M. It does have one of the most dramatic locations in the city, sitting perched right on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. It's being sold unstaged (with the exception of one lonely piano), allowing it to show off its beautiful bones and potential.

This massive 8-bedroom home has been looking for a buyer since last May but hasn't budged from its $5.8M price. There are 9.5 bathrooms in the house, which seems a bit excessive. It also sits on a double-wide lot. This is the only home outside of the city's northern boundaries to make the list.
