About This Home
Tucked among the storied streets of Pacific Heights, behind a dignified facade of bracketed eaves and bay windows, the Sloss-Lilienthal House offers an extraordinary encounter with San Francisco's Gilded Age. Spanning over 8,200 square feet across four gracefully scaled levels, the home retains its original artistry while integrating refined upgrades that bring ease and comfort to everyday living. Grandly proportioned interiors reveal ceiling heights of 13 feet on the main floor and 12 feet above a soaring sense of space that amplifies natural light and ornamental detailing throughout. From richly adorned millwork and plaster medallions to alabaster chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling bay windows, each room tells a story of artistry, elegance, and endurance.Rare 8,250 square foot double lot with a four-car garage, this residence enjoys Mills Act tax benefits for significant yearly property tax reductions and landmark status. With serene garden outlooks and a location just steps from Fillmore Street, Lafayette Park, and premier schools, 1818 California is an exceptional blend of legacy, lifestyle, and location. Some photos are virtually staged / modernized. Contractors' proposals for modernizing the bathrooms and kitchen, repainting the entire house, range between $500K - $700K*
