Updating the Map of the 25 Most Expensive Homes for Sale in San Francisco

2724 Pacific, Pacific Heights
Asking price: $30,000,000
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 a gorgeous solarium with koi pond, and a carriage house that doubles as a game room.
3800 Washington, Presidio Heights
Asking price: $25,000,000
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 Holes in the ceiling, water damage to the original silk wallcoverings, outdated everything; the whole place will need a complete restoration.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.
2820 Scott, Pacific Heights
This massive Italianate villa landed on the market just this week. Asking price? A cool $24.8M. It was home to the 2008 San Francisco Decorator Showcase. The 7-bed, 7.5-bath abode clocks in at 16,000 sq. ft.

3857 Clay, Presidio Heights
