The 5-bed, 8,179-square-foot home sits on an over 9,100-square-foot lot, more than 3 times the average size lot in San Francisco, and was the site of the 2013 Decorator Showcase. It's where a group of renowned interior designers each reimagined a separate room of a prestigious home And since purchasing the home for $8.6 million in April of 2014, these owners have taken pristine care of the home, made some additional updates of their own, all while carefully preserving its beautiful moldings, ceiling details, intricate paneling, and cased openings. The home came on the market in 2023 for about $15 million, and it recently re-hit the market for just shy of $11 million.
