Even by top-of-the-market San Francisco standards, this storied Presidio Park home impresses.
Even by top-of-the-market San Francisco standards, the mansion impresses—which makes sense. If it goes for $45 million, the home would be the most expensive sale in San Francisco history. It would also make for a massive profit over the last time it sold back inThe property dates back to the early 1930s, and includes six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and three half-bathrooms spread over nearly 10,000 square feet.
Originally commissioned by Elsa Guggenhime in 1929, “this home represents a paradigmatic blend of elegant and stately historic architecture with contemporary luxurious interiors,” says agent Antoine Crumeyrolle of Compass in San Francisco. “Farr and his partner Joseph Francis Ward are celebrated for creating many of San Francisco’s grandest and most beautiful homes, often in the Georgian or Craftsman styles.
The renovation was as grand as the home itself. Fronted with slabs of limestone and accented with an elegant, arched entry portico, the home’s newest incarnation was overseen by Handel Architects, a firm whose practice includes partner Michael Arad, designer of the 9/11 Memorial Museum in New York City. Completely modernized and updated, Crumeyrolle says home would ideally suit “a San Francisco family with exquisite taste searching for a larger home in the City’s best neighborhood.
The home’s entry level is perhaps its most dramatic. The main living room is designed in the open-plan style, and leads to both a formal dining room and more casual eating nook. The area follows on to a pair of French doors which lead first to a patio and then onward to a foyer along with a glass-covered foyer. Additional property details include patterned flooring, a curved stairwell with swirling balustrades, coffered walls and oversized arched windows.
