You Won't Believe the Price Tag on SF's Sky-High Dream Home!

Great housing and views in San Franciscos most beautiful area

San Francisco’s real estate market has always been a wild ride, but this latest property takes the cake. Nestled in the heart of Clarendon Heights, a jaw-dropping mansion has finally found its lucky buyer after dancing on and off the market for over a year.

This isn’t just any ordinary home - we’re talking about the highest residential property in the city, perched a staggering 834 feet above sea level. With a price tag that would make most millennials weep ($18 million, to be exact), the four-story modern marvel comes complete with enough luxurious features to make your tiny studio apartment feel like a cardboard box.

A Solar King’s Castle

Designed by high-end architect John Maniscalco for Tom Buttgenbach, a solar energy entrepreneur, this home is basically a tech bro’s dream come true. We’re talking six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and enough deck space to host what feels like the entire startup ecosystem. The cherry on top? Fourteen kilowatts of solar panels because, well, this is San Francisco after all.

Views for Days

Imagine waking up to 360-degree bridge-to-bridge views, a hot tub that overlooks the city, and a wine cellar that could probably store enough rosé to get you through another tech conference. The home boasts a gourmet kitchen with Miele appliances, multiple terraces, and even a cedar sauna - because nothing says “I made it” like sweating out your startup stress in pure luxury.

More Than Just a House

Beyond the astronomical price tag, this property represents the quintessential San Francisco real estate drama. Originally sold in 2021, then returned to the owner after a private mediation, it’s a testament to the city’s complex and often bewildering property market. Located near the iconic Sutro Tower, it’s practically a landmark in its own right.

While most of us are still dreaming of affording a parking spot in this city, someone just scored the ultimate Bay Area real estate flex.
