Offered for sale for only the third time in nearly a half century, the ultra-luxury North and South Penthouses at The Summit on Russian Hill have just sold to a single buyer for $29,000,000. The eight-figure sale is now the highest ever for condominiums in San Francisco, according to SFAR MLS data, upsetting the previous record-holding St. Regis penthouse. Reportedly, this Crown Jewel of San Francisco’s Skyline received multiple offers before going under contract.

The North Tower, 999 Green Street #3201, is 5,380 square feet encompassing three bedrooms, three full baths and one half bath, and a showstopper double-height living area that flaunts breathtaking unobstructed views from the Golden Gate Bridge to Downtown. A dramatic floating staircase connects the home’s two levels, as does a round glass elevator. Both floors permit inconspicuous interior passage to the South Tower.

The South Tower, 999 Green Street #3202, adds 4,935 square feet, three bedrooms, three full baths and two half baths to the lavish bi-level duo. Unfettered outlooks over San Francisco’s undulating landscape are broadened by an expansive terrace wrapping three sides of the tower. Officially, the two penthouse condominiums are separate properties, however a Dwelling Unit Merger could change that if approved by SF Planning.

Together, the North Penthouse and South Penthouse feature two living rooms with 20-foot walls of glass, two gourmet kitchens, six bedrooms, seven full and three half baths, two elevators, two laundry rooms, more than twenty closets, and 360-degrees of world-class views from numerous private terraces and balconies.

When escrow closes and the sale is recorded with the City & County of San Francisco, the identity of the undoubtedly high-profile buyer will surely be hidden behind a litany of legal entities. Whoever she or he is, they’re inheriting a rich pedigree of San Francisco VIPs. Former residents of the penthouses include butter tycoon Alfred Wilsey and his wife, author/socialite Pat Montandon; former US Secretary of State George Shultz and his wife, Charlotte Mailliard Shultz, SF’s Chief of Protocol for 15+ years; real estate developer Melvin Swig; and architect of The Summit himself, Joseph Eichler.
