$42 million
The Yerba Buena tower’s 6,941-square-foot home, designed by Orlando Diaz Azcuy, will be ready for move-in next year. And it’s up for grabs. The space encompasses the structure’s entire top floor and features five bedrooms, five and two half baths, and sunrise-to-sunset views.
The penthouse also comes with a foyer with checkered stone flooring, a lounge room with sliding pocket doors, a stacked stone transparent fireplace in the den, a wet bar with a wine tower, a formal dining room, and a secondary kitchen.

5. 3001 Pacific
$16 million
Used for years as the Egyptian consulate, this five-level home comes with two master bedroom suites, numerous bedroom suites, a fitness area, three kitchens, six and eight half baths, and living quarters for the help.
In a previous life, the roughly 14,000-square-foot mansion, designed by architect firm Bliss and Faville(who created the Masonic Temple on Van Ness and the University Club on Powell), was used as a private residence after the 1906 Great Quake.
This stories property has had a rough year, knocking $6 million off its asking price and dropping from SF’s third most expensive home in 2017 down to fifth place now.
6. 181 Fremont penthouse
$14 million
Standing in the shadow of its sibling taking the top spot, this penthouse comes with a comparatively quaint two beds, two and a half baths, and 3,199 square feet. HOAs come to $2,942/month.
7. 181 Fremont, 69B
$14 million
181 Fremont, going toe to toe with Salesforce Tower as the second tallest locale in the city, casts such a long shadow that it takes up the seventh place spot on this list as well via a two bed, two and a half bath condo just recently completed.
9. 2624 Green
$13.5 million
This envy-inducing Cow Hollow mansion last sold in 2002, but the present owners have so thoroughly renovated it since then that it even comes with a new foundation with its new eight-figure price tag. Some of its period details remain, like leaded glass windows, coffered ceilings, and more. But the ivy-laced brick exterior is the biggest eye-catcher.
10. 308 Sea Cliff
$13 million
In a city with a dearth of sweeping staircases, this Sea Cliff property doesn’t disappoint. Coming in at four bedrooms and four and a half baths, and 4,180 square feet, it’s a stately and pretty chunk of home in one of the city’s toniest neighborhoods, although it has taken a pretty chunk of change off its price since last year, losing $1 million off the asking.
18. 2440 Vallejo
$9.95 million
Teetering right on the edge of the eight-figure mark, this five-bed, three-and-a-half bath 1921 remodel squeezed between Cow Hollow and Pac Heights includes a “lush garden originally designed by Thomas Church” in the sales pitch. (That’s Thomas Church the noted 20th century landscape designer, not the Academy Award-nominated actor, although that would have made for an interested design too no doubt.)
