Luxury homes have served as the backdrop for political fundraisers and charity galas for centuries, but when the San Francisco Decorator Showcase selects one in support of a local high school, you know it hits different. Elegance is one defining factor in the Pacific Heights home that starred in its latest edition. Now listed for $19.5 million with Neill Bassi of Sotheby International Realty, the designer-done mansion is well-equipped for entertaining.
Built in 1936, the five-story residence was on the market last fall before it underwent renovations earlier this year in preparation for it to serve as the 46th Annual San Francisco Decorator Showcase from April 26 to May 26. In all, the 9,390-square-foot home has eight bedrooms and seven baths, plus a trio of powder rooms.

Sunlight on the beige brick-clad facade gives it a glow between neighboring residences, while French windows and dual arched entryways add architectural character to the ground floor. Visitors enter the house through wrought-iron and glass front doors. Just inside, a formal living room features gorgeous wood-paneled walls, a gas fireplace, and ample seating space beneath soaring ceilings that allow natural light to flood in.

The chef’s kitchen sits nearby with stone slabs spread across its counters, backsplash, and massive central island. Printed wallpaper animates the ceiling in the space with custom cabinetry and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen adjoins a built-in dining area and family room with vast skyline vistas. The formal dining room, meanwhile, sits steps away from a wet bar with high-drama backlit stone detail. Rounding out the main level are an office, library, and temperature-controlled wine room.

Accessible via the grand main staircase or elevator, five bedrooms and four baths are featured on what marketing materials call “the bedroom level.” Of those, the primary suite includes carpeting and coffered walls alongside a fireplace, two walk-in closets, and a wood-paneled en-suite bath with a see-through tub and chevron-pattern wood floors. Two of the remaining four bedrooms have bathrooms of their own.
A rooftop deck with a fire pit provides 2,150 square feet of outdoor space that overlooks the city and bay, plus a built-in spa. Adding to the home’s flexibility, whether for extended family or live-in staff, there’s a three-bedroom garden apartment on the lower level with a private entry.
