Some homes are remodeled to sell. This one wasn't. The owners designed this Telegraph Hill penthouse for themselves, and you can feel the difference. Every choice was made for the experience of living here, not for the expectations of the market: custom millwork, marine brass, curated stone, integrated lighting and technology, radiant floors and details designed to disappear into the architecture. And then there are the views. The full sweep of the Bay Bridge, downtown, Alcatraz and Coit Tower, with ferries crossing the Bay, cruise ships coming into port and Telegraph Hill's famous parrots flying past. The views follow you through the day from coffee in the kitchen to getting ready in the morning, dinner as the city lights come on, or a glass of wine on the wraparound terrace. Set atop a boutique six-residence building on a prized Telegraph Hill street, this rare one-level penthouse also makes city living remarkably easy: two independent side-by-side parking spaces, a dedicated EV charger and elevator access directly from the garage or lobby into the home. Extraordinary design, iconic views and the kind of San Francisco living that's nearly impossible to replicate.
