San Francisco’s costliest itemizing will get a worth minimize
When it first went on the market two months ago, 3450 Washington St. was the most expensive home on the market in San Francisco at $45 million. Now, fresh from a $5.5 million price cut, this $39.5 million Presidio Heights mansion could be yours — meaning it’s still the most expensive single-family home you’ll buy in town can.
The 9,865-square-foot mansion is historic, built by Albert Farr in the 1930s. Farr was a prolific California architect whose designs are scattered throughout the Bay Area, most notably at the Spanish Colonial Piedmont Church and the Parker Houses on Russian Hill, alongside a variety of impressive homes in San Francisco’s most prestigious neighborhoods.

In the case of 3450 Washington St., Farr chose an inspiration from French Normandy. Farr’s vision is very much alive in the house’s grand facade and impressive bones, but the interiors are fresh. According to official marketing for the property, “The property has been completely redesigned…and recently renovated ‘down to the studs’.”

In its renovated incarnation, the mansion includes six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and three toilets. Other amenities include two chef’s kitchens, a cigar room, a temperature-controlled wine cellar for up to 3,000 bottles, silk wallpaper, heated floors and a wood-paneled library.

Despite the apparent opulence of the offer, the home failed to find a buyer for its original $45 million demand. However, people have shown interest, according to Compass listing agent Antoine Crumeyrolle, who told SFGATE: “We’ve had over 15 showings in the last 60 days, which is excellent for a house at this price point.”

The price drop, Crumeyrolle said, “is a sign that buyers know that sellers are serious about selling the house sooner or later.”
The discounted price also leaves San Francisco without a single-family home that’s listed at over $40 million. The Washington Street mansion now tops a list of notable properties costing over $30 million, including the Ken Fulk-enchanted Birch home on Billionaires’ Row, which is asking $35 million; and the $32 million Michael Taylor “California Look” mansion at Sea Cliff.
