Elevated Elegance: A Designer Top floor Home with Unmatched Views

Panoramic, unobstructed views of the city and bay from every room define this luxurious top floor home beneath Twin Peaks. Renovated with exceptional craftsmanship, this 3BR/2BA Smart Home features Brazilian walnut (IPE) flooring, skylights, frosted-glass interior doors, sound insulation for privacy and tranquility, and a seamlessly integrated 7-zone Sonos sound system with premium in-ceiling speakers and independent app-based control in every room. A wood-burning fireplace with a flowing natural stone surround adds warmth and character to the living space.
The open-concept layout includes a sleek kitchen with Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking gas stove, and custom cabinetry—plus a built-in bar with integrated wine fridge and matching quartz countertops in both the kitchen and bar, making the home ideal for entertaining. Also featuring a built-in a reverse osmosis water filtration system. A walk-in closet with in-unit washer and dryer adds comfort and practicality. Bathrooms are wrapped in floor-to-ceiling Venetian marble—each piece a natural work of art—with one featuring a Jacuzzi tub and the other a spa-style 4-headed shower. High-performance sliding glass doors—like those used in high-rises—connect every bedroom and the living room to a spacious private deck with sweeping views. Offering the privacy and comfort of a single-family home with the low-maintenance convenience of condo living, this residence also includes a private garage at the building entrance and a large, dedicated storage space. Ideally located near shopping, with quick access to citywide destinations.

Neighborhood

It's all downhill from Twin Peaks. Literally. The second highest point in San Francisco, Twin Peaks offers the best views of the city. On a foggy night, watching the lights of the city far below, and listening to the mournful toll of the fog horns, its easy to believe you are standing on the prow of a ship in the middle of the ocean.

Instead you are nearly at the geographic center of San Francisco. Stroll down one hill and you are in Cole Valley, with access to Golden Gate Park, a tidy retail district of shops and restaurants, the N-Judah and an easy commute downtown or to Ocean Beach. In the other direction, straight down 17th Street, the Castro lies stretched out at the foot of the hill. In between on the slopes of Twin Peaks, the quiet, curving streets lead to homes offering unobstructed views of the city below.

The neighborhood is largely residential, with single-family homes making up the bulk of the available housing. Victorians at the foot of the slopes give rise to mid-century modern showplace homes toward the top of Twin Peaks. Clarendon School, located here, is one of the most sought after public schools in the city.

Historical Context

Twin Peaks, on the flanks of which 11 Perego Terrace sits, is the second highest point in San Francisco and has been a scenic backdrop for the city throughout its history. During the Spanish and Mexican eras, the two peaks were named Los Pechos de las Choca, or the “Breasts of the Indian Woman.” Springs on their flanks supplied water that made the establishment of Mission Dolores possible.
Early development of the peaks started with family dairies and spring water collection operations and by the 1890s, city engineer Michael O'Shaughnessy was surveying an extension of Market Street up the slopes. Before the 1906 Earthquake, Daniel Burnham ensconced himself in a cottage on the hillside, using the high vantage point to survey the city and create his vision for a formally planned metropolis.
The earthquake and fires of 1906 derailed Burnham's plans, and displaced city residents, many of whom retreated to the flanks of Twin Peaks, beginning the initial residential settlement of the hillside. Reservoirs and cisterns were created to collect water for the city and the construction of Twin Peaks Boulevard and the Twin Peaks Tunnel made passage over and under the peaks possible. The steep hillside was terraced and lined with streets that hugged the hillside. The earliest house was built in 1913.
Property on Twin Peaks tended to attract wealthier, but bohemian, buyers. Many artists, writers, and other creatives have lived on Twin Peaks over the years and their houses tended to reflect their creative tastes, many in eclectic designs by local architects. In the 1950s, the contentious development of some large apartment complexes was thwarted, while others grew the neighborhood's density in less conspicuous areas, like the southwest flank of the hill, where 11 Perego Terrace is located. Today, the summit of Twin Peaks remains designated open space and sweeping views from Twin Peaks Boulevard and other areas of the neighborhood have been made famous in numerous films and television commercials.
11 Perego Terrace was built in 1962 in the Dingbat style; an architectural aesthetic specific to mid-century apartment buildings. The Dingbat style featured prominent garages or carports at the first story street front, boxy forms, and flat projecting canopies and balconies; all present in this building. 11 Perego Terrace gives a nod to the International style, though, with its striking double-height, all-glass, metal frame entry assembly. Early residents of the building had jobs including salesmen, insurance agents, travel agents, and even a pilot.
