Magnifique Penthouse à Nob Hill

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.
