San Francisco Dream Home
They say a mother should never have a favorite child, a writer should never reveal the favorite book they wrote. If that’s the case, should a blogger tell their favorite post? Well, I’m not saying this is my favorite post because I do have way too many houses here that I’d love to move in right away, but I need to share my love for this one with you. I can get enough of this house! I love every (I mean, every) single detail in this place. I’m so excited to share this post with you today!
This 7 bedroom, 7 bathroom, 16,400 Sq. Ft. house is currently on the market for $28,500,000. I know! It breaks our heart, right? To better understand this place, please read, (Via Pricey Pads):
The residence at 2701 Broadway is a stately neoclassical-revival home situated at the apex of the Gold Coast. The home sits prominently on the corner of Broadway and Divisadero, a site that affords expansive unobstructed views stretching from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay Bridge and on to the towering City skyline.
The original house at 2701 Broadway was designed for a lumber magnate in 1910 by the well-known San Francisco architect James Miller at the height of his career. Of this prominent location, architects of the world renowned Panama Pacific International Exposition of 1915 would later say, The finest point of observation [of the Exposition] would be at the corner of Divisadero Street and Broadway. Its transformation into a one-of-a-kind residence began during the late 1990s. The owners then were clear in their aesthetic objective: first and foremost, to preserve the homes classic architecture yet instill in it a modern and balanced family atmosphere with style and character. Through the careful planning and design of architects Stephen Willrich and Ian Moller of Moller Willrich Architects, that goal was achieved.
The main level of the home is host to everyday and formal rooms that flow together in understated elegance. The entrance salon showcases a grand staircase that accesses the top two levels and precedes the formal living room and dining room. A gallery leads to the heart of the home, which is a central gathering space that features an open epicurean kitchen connecting to an informal dining room, breakfast nook, family room, and intimate library. A rare walk-out south garden and brick terrace wrap around the home inviting outdoor living in a private setting.
The second floor is devoted to the family living quarters. The east end is comprised of four large bedrooms, connected to one another through two shared bathrooms and a shared dressing closet. The west wing encompasses the expansive master suite, formerly the homes original library, which maintains the handsome classical detailing, intricate moldings, and original fireplace. An immense Bay window captures extraordinary views toward the Golden Gate Bridge. Separate His and Her dressing rooms and bathrooms complete the master suite.
Continuing up the main staircase to the upper-most level, the inspired vision of the home is capped by three rooftop terraces, all with commanding views of iconic San Francisco landmarks. Inside, the upper floor plan offers an abundance of space given to the pursuits of leisure, study, and play with a family room, game room, his and her offices, plus a full kitchen, dining area, and guest suite.
Play and recreation are the theme of the homes two lower levels with a media room, art room, and indoor basketball/sport court adjoining a fresh-air terrace for outdoor enjoyment. An au pair suite, temperature-controlled wine cellar, and attached two-car garage add convenience. Throughout the home, 21st century amenities operate behind the scenes, with touch-control for light, sound and temperature.

WHOA!!!!!!! This IS a lot of house, first the curb appeal is off the charts, STUNNING!!
Then you get inside and its unexpected because I love how they stayed true with the architecture and kept everything as is, the gorgeous moldings, the stunning floors but freshened it up with some unexpected furnishings and colors..its a lot of fun and not too serious which was a great surprise.
Tons of great rooms…too many to name, but the kitchen with that unique oval island and that stunning bath with the antique mirror is quite beautiful and how fun is the dining room? And we didnt’ even discuss the views..oh those views!
GORGEOUS!
San Francisco is a fun place to visit, but I have never wanted to live there, this home could change my mind in short order. I love the bright colors and the wonderful light that this home has!! Just gorgeous, Kathysue
Surprisingly understated for a house of this magnificence. Still, at $28,500,000 it definitely falls in the 1% category!
Wow I never thought it was going to end its like an aladdin’s cave!!
I drive by this home quite a bit out here…always wondered what the inside looked like….many rooms surprised me. Thank you for sharing
Kim
i’m in love with that wooden floor. fantastic! there is a sond that I love “When you go to San Fransisco”
… wish you all the best. Big hugs to you, Luciane
Waaaoooo, It’s amazing. Wonderful. Without more words.
I love all them
This is truly an amazing house. I lived in SF for many years and often found that the inside of these grand beautiful houses was such a disappointment – often way too frumpy and “over decorated” for my taste…but not this one! Someone has breathed new life into it while keeping the beautiful details intact. It’s a stunner!!!
Oi Lu!!! pelo amor de Deus, mas essa casa existe? Jesus!! sério que fiquei querendo pra mim (isso raramente acontece, porque vejo muita coisa, mas não me bate esta sensação). Meu final de semana foi corrido, estamos fotografando as peças da loja, cadastrando produtos, uma loucura e não parei 1 min sequer, mas estou bem (bem cansada rsrsrs) e feliz. Agora estamos na fase final, daí, depois que a loja estiver “no ar”, acho que será mais tranquilo. E vc, tudo bem? Quando o Mathews chega? bjs Carmen
I’m dying!! This is gorgeous. I love San Fran. I have seen the dining room before… think the designer is Stephen Shubel but I have never seen the entire home! Thanks so much for visiting Inspired Design. I’m pretty sure I already follow you but I’m off to check!! xo
Wow! Can you say money honey?
Especially love the iron gates. I just love this house, period.
Great post, Lucian.
Hope that all is well with you.

Totally love this house, well done, nothing is over the top. My question, how does this family live, a different kitchen to use upstairs when the downstairs one gets too messy? Have a great week!
This is really beautiful, Luciane. What I love is how fresh and inviting it feels… there’s a sense of a ‘lived in’ feeling yet each space is as neat as a pin. And the view is gorgeous… who can resist a view like that? When do you move in?
I hope you have a fantastic week

the decor is gorgeous! but i’d be lost with all those rooms. can you imagine giving your friends ‘the before the dinner party tour’? it would take 3 days!
i remember the nerves at this stage of the pregnancy, but all is going to be well. stay in the moment and know this.
love.

OH LUCIANE!!!!! I can’t take it!
The oval island is crazy beautiful…Really all of it is.
I wish I had an extra 28 mill!
I’m thinking of you and wishing you good thoughts and happiness…
Hugs,
Amy
What a house! It is beautiful. I also love the idea of the bar with the drawers in it. Great idea!
OMG! Is this fabulous or what? I like, I love, I want, I covet… What really sticks is the oval island in the kitchen. Superb – normally kitchens are full of neat little boxes abet a table this is great. Good find.
So that’s what 28 mil looks like! Ahhh… it’s fun to dream, isn’t it?
Thanks your sweet comment today! Hope all is well with you. I’m doing great… I can finally breathe again now that my son’s MRI came back normal
I love the citrus palette! Imagine having themed guest rooms? Young, cottage, teen etc…one guest room is hard enough to keep up with…but what a spectacular home. Would it be rude to low ball? Or to ask the realtor why thy are selling? Haha Love San Fran!!
Spectacular! I can’t get over those views! I would love to just sit out on that deck…all I need is 28 million, sigh!
My husband says silly things sometimes like, “You say ‘love’ a lot in your blog. Can you really love a house?” We all know that of course we can! I’ve fallen head over heels for a chair for goodness sake, so this amazing beauty has me drooling in total love/lust!

Though it is $28M more than we can afford, all I can say about this posting is “Fab!”
Talk soon, my friend. xoxo
WOW WOW WOW! This one is perfection! I could look at those images over and over again – so much to see! I really love the library and bathroom with the claw foot tub to name just a couple. So glad I didn’t miss this post (I am missing so many these days!). Happy Monday Luciane! xo
Absolutely love the white curved island. Such a beautiful piece of bespoke furniture.
Love it. Does the house have an elevator?
Hi Kathy.
I’m glad you liked it! And yes, this house has an elevator, which is totally necessary with 4 levels!
