Within the walls of this distinguished residence, lies a remarkable 1930s hidden fresco, concealed for decades and believed to be attributed to Bolivian-born artist Antonio Sotomayor. His esteemed murals adorn notable landmarks such as The Palace Hotel, Grace Cathedral, and The Bohemian Club. This exquisite fresco may have been completed in collaboration with his assistant Mona Hofmann, renowned for her association with Diego Rivera.

Neighborhood

Living in Pacific Heights provides an opportunity to rub elbows with some of Silicon Valley’s most prominent players. PayPal founder Peter Theil, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, and Apple designer Jonathan Ive have all made their homes in what is considered one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the United States. Palatial highrise condos and luxurious row houses are the most common types of real estate you will find in Pacific Heights.

Although the Presidio is just a short trip away from Pacific Heights, the neighborhood features two small parks of its own: Lafayette Park and Alta Plaza Park. Lafayette Park offers beautiful grassy hills, a playground, and an off-leash dog park, while Alta Plaza is perched even higher with most of the same amenities. 

When Pacific Heights residents are looking for a place to eat, they usually make their way to Fillmore Street. This area is also a great place to enjoy a day of shopping and entertainment. 

Locals and tourists are often amazed at the variety of landmarks and attractions you can find in Pacific Heights. Enjoy a guided tour through the Haas-Lilienthal House, San Francisco’s only Victorian House museum open to the public for house tours, or check out the McElroy Octagon House, which serves as both an architectural treasure and a Colonial and Federal Periods Decorative Arts Museum.

Lastly, the southeast corner of the Presidio is less than two miles away, so there is always something fun to explore near the Pacific Heights neighborhood!
