A unique mid-century modern home in San Francisco designed for a famous furniture designer Jules Heumann was sold after only 10 days on the market.

The valuable property, which towers over the city and boasts astounding views, was acquired at full price for $3,750,000 in cash.

The spectacular three-story beauty was custom designed in 1965 by San Francisco architects Marquis & Stoller.

The room features vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows to take in the views from the Pacific Ocean and the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin and the East Bay.

‘Amazing Home’

“This is one of the most amazing homes I’ve ever sold,” says the real estate agent Trecia Knapp, from Sotheby’s International Realty. “It’s clad in original redwood in the main living room and has this expansive view that’s just stunning.”

From the interior walls of windows to the outdoor patios, you can enjoy the view from almost every room in the 3,258-square-foot home.

The modern kitchen has a spacious dining area that opens onto an interior patio. The cozy den features a fireplace and a patio just off the main living and dining rooms.

Upstairs you will find a master suite with a fireplace, office, living room and dressing rooms. Two further bedrooms share a bathroom and there is a gym that could be converted into a fourth bedroom.

Heumann was not only a famous furniture designer, but also had a soft spot for cars. He was chairman of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, a prestigious motor show.

“There’s a three-car garage here, and one has a double garage,” says Knapp. “He put air conditioning in the garage! When you walk in, you can almost feel him tinkering. He also had a bay built under the garage for people to tinker with his cars. He even put an elevator in the house, so go ahead – think it was him.”

The car collector died in 2017 at the age of 93. The sellers bought the house in 2018 from Heumann’s estate.

“During COVID, their lives changed and they had to move out of town for work,” says Knapp. “They wouldn’t have left if they didn’t have to move because of their work.”

The property is a detached home in San Francisco, making it a desirable rarity. Also, the locale is off the beaten path.

“It’s in Clarendon Heights, which I would call ‘San Francisco’s undiscovered Gold Coast,'” says Knapp. “It’s a vertical house, so it captures all the views. One of the founders of Instagram also lives on St. Germain Avenue.”

San Francisco is known for its fog, and when it does, Knapp says, “Home is like a beautiful cocoon that keeps you warm and cozy.”
