Atop a historic pre-war building in Pacific Heights, the Penthouse at 2100 Pacific Avenue has been transformed into a residence of rare precision, equal parts sanctuary, showcase, and architectural statement. Conceived as the pinnacle of sophistication for a museum-caliber art collection, the 5180 +/- square foot three-bedroom residence delivers a refined design language that activates the senses and elevates the sweeping and ever changing panoramic views of the Bay and city skyline.
Upon entering the residence, the open plan entertaining rooms unfold to picture perfect moments of sky, water, and city landmarks. A more intimate sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace and downtown views connects to a 53’ wide living/dining area for grand scale living. This public space is accented with herringbone patterned, oak floors and showcases a built-in entertainment panel and an aged brass dining bar with wine storage. A seamless connection to the gourmet kitchen offers a sweeping view of the Golden Gate Bridge from an informal dining area, a commanding center island anchoring the space for entertaining and gourmet cooking, and a sleek design with top-of-the-line appliances. A walk-in pantry, service elevator, powder room, temperature controlled wine room, coat closet, and a systems room complete the public section of the apartment.
The private quarters begin with a sumptuous office with built-in book shelves and stunning views of Russian Hill and the downtown skyline. An interior promenade leads to the primary suite. This gracious room is wrapped in wood panelling and accented with a fireplace, window seat, and book shelves. The primary closet and bath are designed for inspired living complete with heated marble floors, double sink and water closets, and a shower room. Two additional ensuite bedrooms are located along the sun soaked southern perimeter of the apartment. An expansive exercise room with Golden Gate Bridge views completes this part of the apartment.
The design-build team of Sean Bailey Architects and FORMA Construction led a two year, down-to-the-shell reimagination of the interiors. A new walnut-paneled core anchors circulation and sightlines, while classical millwork ties the residence to its historic shell, underscoring the craftsmanship at the heart of the project. Delivering this vision required a construction effort as meticulous as the design. The hidden infrastructure, concealed AV, integrated LED lighting, and programmable window shades create a seamless systems package. The result is a home of extraordinary refinement - at once timeless and modern, private yet expressive, and ultimately a canvas for both living and collecting at the highest level.
