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 bookshelves 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 paneling and accented with a fireplace, window seat, and bookshelves. 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 rich refinement - at once timeless and modern, private yet expressive, and ultimately a canvas for both living and collecting at the highest level.
Additional upgrades include increased 11’ ceiling height, all new exterior windows, radiant heating in stone floors, walk-in laundry and storage rooms, and a luxurious entry foyer. Doorman services from 8 a.m. to midnight every day, two-car parking, and two storage rooms. $7,180 monthly dues include outside property management, building insurance, water, garbage, maintenance, and reserve funding.
