Got 30 million burning a hole in your pocket? You're in luck! A stunning Pacific Heights mansion where Vanessa Getty once lived is on the market!



There are rich walnut floors in living spaces and calacatta marble marble flecked with gold in the entryway. Every bathroom has marble flooring with a unique mosaic. Radiant heat was installed throughout— even in the office of the four-car garage designed for viewing and managing a car collection.

Of course, you do have a car collection, don't you??


The kitchen was expanded into a gourmet cooking space with a professional 10-burner stove and a single piece of marble making up the island countertop.


The property was seismically upgraded and reenforced with steel beams. Also, all of the exterior stucco was removed and replaced with fresh material to match the original.


The home is located only a block away from the eastern gate of the Presidio and is minutes away from the Marina Green along San Francisco Bay, Fort Mason, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Palace of Fine Arts. Situated on top of a hill, rooms throughout have sweeping bay views.


The home was originally built by Bay Area architect Louis M. Upton, who made his name designing many of the elegant Pacific Heights mansions, including Dianne Feinstein's current residence.
Vanessa and William Getty purchased the home for $11.5 million in 2002; William is the grandson of the late billionaire J. Paul Getty, who made his fortune in the oil business.


Today, it's among the most expensive pieces of real estate listed in San Francisco, along with a $25 million Russian Hill home and the $42 million luxury penthouse at 181 Fremont.


That rooftop view!  Worth a million right there.
