Purchased not so long ago for a record-shattering $17.5 million, San Francisco’s highest-altitude private residence is once again on the market. Make no mistake, its singular perch atop Mount Sutro is only the beginning of all that distinguishes 150 Glenbrook Avenue. Inspired design by award-winning architect John Maniscalco, 7,400+ square feet of immaculately appointed indoor-outdoor spaces, and world-class panoramic vistas place it squarely among the city’s finest ultra-luxury homes.

Completed by Cook Construction in 2018, 150 Glenbrook Avenue in San Francisco’s Clarendon Heights neighborhood features 6 bedrooms, 6 full baths and 2 half baths. Image courtesy of Sotheby’s International Realty.

The location is “in and of itself an iconic site,” says Maniscalco, “and demanded an architecture that was going to be iconic in the same way.” Looking to the geometries of Sutro Tower and an effort to maximize views, the resulting design is a unique product of its place, “dynamic and quiet at the same time.”

Main Level

Upon entering 150 Glenbrook Avenue, a custom light fixture cascades through a skylit three-level stair hall set against a scalloped limestone wall. The living area is enveloped in windows measuring up to nearly 16 feet wide, framing unobstructed outlooks from bridge to bridge and beyond. Lava stone, marble, and a symphony of hardwoods lead to the kitchen equipped with a double wine fridge, double oven-microwave, and side-by-side dishwashers. An office retreat, powder room, and two decks complete this floor.

ENTERTAINING Level

A 300-bottle wine room welcomes guests to the amenity level. There is a casual family room with wet bar and surround-sound system, spa-inspired full bath and sauna, and an au pair studio with its own private entrance. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels slide open to reveal built-in fireside seating and a stainless steel Jacuzzi on the covered deck.

GARDEN Level

Continuing downstairs to the home’s lowest floor, an expansive multipurpose room (outfitted with yet another wet bar) is joined by a bedroom and full bath. It, too, enjoys independent access from the street. The indoor-outdoor experience is highlighted by a private oasis created by master gardener Walter Laing in collaboration with Brian Koch of Terra Ferma Landscapes.

UPPER Level

“Quiet in finish but rich in detail, rich in refinement,” is how Maniscalco describes the interior spaces, culminating in four en-suite bedrooms at the fourth floor. Each of these sun-soaked quarters offers a unique relationship to the city with varied landmark views. The primary suite features oversized windows on three sides, a distinctive cedar ceiling projecting over the 30-plus-foot wide deck, Lutron motorized privacy shades, and two walk-in closets. One of the home’s two laundry rooms is conveniently located in a central hall.

ROOFTOP

Last but certainly not least, a rooftop terrace completes the home’s ±1,400 square feet of decking in dazzling fashion. We could go on and on about the sights, but we’ll leave it at this: You’re on top of the world.
