The much-anticipated sale of the Robertson Estate along Russian Hill’s Gold Coast is a moment to pause, to appreciate, and lay hold to a historic ownership opportunity in the life of San Francisco’s oldest surviving residential property. Built during the Gold Rush years in sole majesty along the northern slope of Russian Hill, the panoramic views of 825 Francisco Street from the Golden Gate Bridge to Coit Tower tell the story of San Francisco’s boom-bust history. Behind the entry gate is a private oasis, a country home in the city, and one of San Francisco’s last remaining legacy estates. The 8,440± square foot, five-bedroom residence offers an elegant lifestyle for those who value privacy and the experience of high-quality indoor/outdoor living within the city limits. Impeccably maintained over its current thirty-eight-year ownership period, this sale represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to steward the next chapter of one of San Francisco’s most important private residences.
San Francisco’s oldest surviving residential property. Built in 1849 by Captain R.C. Ruskin. The 13,385 square foot lot is one of only four remaining Russian Hill legacy estates.
Perched along the Russian Hill Gold Coast, the property enjoys 270-degree panoramic views that capture the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Tamalipas, Angel Island, Alcatraz, Hyde Street Pier, Coit Tower, the Bay Bridge, and the downtown skyline.
Set back from the street and surrounded by tall hedges and border trees, this coveted “country home” in the city enjoys uncommon privacy and secure living within the city limits.
A large-scale renovation honored the Victorian vernacular exterior elevations, while significantly increasing the interior volumes with lateral expansions and a pent-room addition.
Grand entertaining public rooms include a large reception foyer, a living room with walkout view terrace and fireplace, and a formal dining room with direct access to the garden terrace.
The kitchen offers romantic indoor-outdoor living with a breakfast area leading to the terrace through French doors. Multiple seating areas and a lap pool elevate this elegant leisure area.
The main level private library is accented by voluminous bookshelves, fireplace, a grand Palladian bay-view window, and a walkout terrace.
A glamourous skylit central staircase delivers access to all three principal levels of the home.
The primary suite enjoys panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay. It is completed by an office, gas fireplace, double dressing rooms, and a bath with views of the Hyde Street Pier and Coit Tower.
The pent-room level has a sitting room with wet bar, ensuite bedroom, and direct access to a spectacular roof terrace that has multiple sitting areas and 360-degree views.
Four additional bedrooms complete the home. Three of the four are ensuite.
The lower level is comprised of a playroom, multiple task rooms, temperature-controlled wine cave, and large amounts of storage.
The property has two elevators. An internal hill-a-vator from the two-car garage accesses lower level and main level. Second elevator accesses lower level, main level, and primary suite level.
