A San Francisco modernist hilltop residence perched just 50 yards from the historic landmark Coit Tower — a home boasting a view so rare it may even leave longtime locals amazed — is for sale for $8.5 million.
“I’ve lived in San Francisco for almost 50 years, and I have never, ever seen a view like this,” said Howard Epstein, the listing agent and part of the ownership group City Real Estate.
The newly completed, four-story home at 115 Telegraph Hill Blvd. delivers a tour de force of panoramic city vistas and cutting-edge design. The three-bedroom, five-bathroom, 7,500-square-foot contemporary masterpiece has views of both the Golden Gate and Bay bridges — and much more.
“What’s really unusual about it is that you’re looking north to south ... You see bridge-to-bridge views,” Epstein said. “You see everything from Financial District to Russian Hill to the Marina to Navio, Chinatown. You see everything — but from a very unique vantage point of a high point on the north.”

Designed by renowned architect Lewis Butler, the home has sophisticated, loft-inspired interiors, oversized Fleetwood windows and doors, and a striking fireplace in a living room that frames jaw-dropping downtown scenes including Transamerica Pyramid.
Steps above, the slick kitchen and dining area has motorized retractable skylights. Appointed with chef-worthy Gaggenau appliances, the culinary haven spotlights Henrybuilt cabinetry and a large island made for gatherings.
The top-level primary suite and an additional bedroom suite both capture waterfront and city views, including glimpses of the Golden Gate Bridge. Downstairs, a spacious great room is served by a custom wet bar and opens to a landscaped private patio.
But it’s the roof deck, with glass railings and 360-degree views, that steals the show.
Other key features include:
- Solar panels and living gardens creating a sustainable oasis high above the city
- An elevator serving all floors that goes down to private underground parking
- Lutron lighting, radiant heat and air conditioning
- Venetian plaster in all bathrooms
“In the city, there is nothing else like it, absolutely nothing,” Epstein said. “You have no neighbors across the street. You have an iconic national park basically right across the street.”
He’s seen a renewed energy in the city boosting the luxury housing market. Earlier this year, a smaller, neighboring home at 117 Telegraph Hill sold for $7.3 million. It’s back on the market for $7.88 million.

“The city’s most distinctive and well-positioned homes continue to attract discerning buyers even as other segments experience challenges,” Epstein said. “People are coming back for something special — people who want not just a home, but a view, an experience, a piece of San Francisco at its finest. Luxury always seems to weather storms better.”
Some of the optimism stems from recent civic improvements, Epstein said, with praise for the city’s leadership, including Mayor David Lurie.
“The mayor has really stepped up,” he said. “We’re seeing more attention given to the issues, and there’s a sense that, finally, the heart of the city is being cared for again.
“People forgot how beautiful San Francisco was in spite of all the social problems ... the architecture is so beautiful. The views didn’t change. Nothing changed about the city. It was people problems, city problems.”
