Magnificent Nob Hill Penthouse

Built in 1914 in the grand Haussmann style by renowned architect Houghton Sawyer, 1001 California Street is one of San Francisco’s most iconic residential buildings. This blush-hued Beaux-Arts landmark combines timeless architectural elegance with the convenience and service of a premier Nob Hill address. Occupying the highest full-floor residence in the building, Residence 7 offers a remarkable blend of scale, character, and sophistication. A dramatic living room with soaring ceilings is crowned by a magnificent curved stained-glass skylight, creating a truly unforgettable centerpiece. Adjacent to the living room, a richly paneled library/family room connects to a private office or optional third bedroom through elegant pocket doors. Designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable daily living, the residence also features a formal dining room highlighted by a wall-sized antique French china cabinet, a luxurious powder room, a chef’s kitchen anchored by an oversized copper hood, and two generously sized bedroom suites. Two walk-out terraces showcase sweeping views of Nob Hill’s most celebrated landmarks and glimpses of the San Francisco Bay, providing an exceptional indoor-outdoor connection rarely found in a historic residence. Residents of 1001 California enjoy full-service living with 24-hour door staff and elevator access. The building has benefited from significant capital improvements, including an extensive exterior restoration and waterproofing program encompassing the roof, decks, glass doors, wrought-iron railings, and facade. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Nob Hill’s most distinguished full-floor residences in a truly iconic San Francisco building.
