One of San Francisco’s Swankiest Penthouses Can Be Yours for $30 Million
A grand penthouse in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights neighborhood that was first sold as a white box back in 2017 is back on the market with a completely new design and a $30 million price tag, making it the second most-expensive residence on the market in the neighborhood and the first penthouse in the full-service building to be offered fully finished.
The swanky duplex tops The Pacific, a 10-story condo building with 76 units, which was a former dental school building in the 1960s. The building was repurposed and redesigned by Glen Rescalvo of Handel Associates, who completed the project in 2016, transforming the building into a striking piece of residential architecture. The facade features champagne-hued metal panels alongside extruded triangular glass apertures that create a sculptural geometric quality on the exterior.

Floor-to-ceiling windows make for expansive views over the city, while soaring 12-foot-high ceilings and large floor plates allowed Rescalvo to create spacious residences, while the unit known as GPH1, one of four penthouses in the building, was reworked by MEMarchitecture and interior designer Antonio Petronio of KA Design Group.
The 3,870-square-foot unit has three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and one powder room spread across its two floors. There’s also a 2,320-square-foot wraparound terrace on the main level with views that stretch across San Francisco.
The color palette errs on the moody side, with a heavy dose of black, gray, and brown hues, which are offset with lighter-colored furnishings and wispy curtains. This was a deliberate choice, as the art within the home offers plenty of bright colors and striking shapes. For example, the main living area showcases a piece by artist William Klein that commands attention above the marble fireplace. Textural patterns and pieces warm up the home.
You enter the home on the lower level, which connects directly to the communal spaces. Designed with entertaining in mind, the spacious great room includes sitting and dining areas and a marble wet bar. Nearby is the sumptuous family room, which has a fireplace and a TV area. The main level also features the kitchen, with a casual dining area, a large pantry, and a wine storage space. Just outside, the wraparound terrace offers alfresco dining, a barbecue, and ample seating, whether you’re taking in the sunrise with a coffee or clinking glasses of wine at sunset.
The penthouse’s most striking features is unquestionably the curved staircase encased in dark molded wood panels. Bold and unmissable, it leads to the upper level, where the three bedrooms are located. The primary bedroom has its own sitting room and massive walk-in closet, and the additional bedrooms are en suite.
Although the building has a slew of five-star amenities, the secondary bedrooms are easily converted into a gym, yoga studio, or office to create an epic primary suite. The property is listed by Rebecca Schumacher of Sotheby’s International Realty.
