Crown jewel penthouse overlooks the Bay

-

It's hard to imagine the future owner of the grand penthouse at 181 Fremont wanting for anything.

Occupying the highest residence in the San Francisco, inhabitant­s will enjoy a stylish oasis soaring more than 700 feet above the city.

The striking residence and thoughtful­ly selected material palette comes fully furnished. It includes a private elevator foyer, wine tasting room and study, while grand the indulgent master suite hosts a pair of spa bathrooms.

Superlativ­es fail when discussing the grand penthouse, an indulgent oasis whose floortocei­ling windows frame views of a plethora of San Francisco landmarks. The Pacific Ocean and Farallon Islands, Alcatraz, the Bay Bridge, the Transameri­ca Pyramid, San Francisco Bay and Treasure Island only account for some of the city’s most prominent features visible from the towering residence.

Elegant finishes, all installed with thoughtful, painstakin­g detail, come from materials meticulous­ly sourced from around the globe. MASS Beverly, a West Hollywoodb­ased design house whose client portfolio includes Calvin Klein, Beyoncé and JayZ, curated the interior design.

Bespoke materials from Italy’s Bottega Veneta highlight the study, while New York’s Minotti furniture adorns

the family room. A wine display and tasting room rests off the formal dining room, a grand space anchored by a leatherfin­ished, acidwash Henge dining table that seats 12.

A private elevator foyer welcomes residents and guests with a handsome, walnutpane­led foyer illuminate­d by a a Lolli e Memmoli chandelier.

Steps off the foyer, Rimadesio sliding glass walls of the stunning office reveal panoramic views of the city, granting a sense that you’re among the clouds overlookin­g the city.

Book matching, the painstakin­g effort of aligning veins of marble slabs, is on display in the informal dining area’s fireplace surround, representi­ng the level of craftsmans­hip and attention to detail at the grand penthouse of 181 Fremont.

Crisp angles and clean lines offer contrast to the interior’s subtly curved Venetian plaster walls. Pocket doors accommodat­e the open floor plan while allowing the opportunit­y for privacy. Marie Antionette parquet floors line most of the public rooms as striated metal doors accent the interior.

With more than 6,900 square feet of living space, the grand penthouse provides plenty of room for family and entertaini­ng guests. Ceilings soar granting the penthouse generous scale and dramatic volume.

Rossana custom cabinetry outfits an exhibition kitchen equipped with Gaggenau appliances, including a teppanyaki station. The penthouse

also comes with a catering kitchen finished with Valcucine walnut cabinetry, an induction cooktop and Miele double ovens.

Begin and end each day in a resplenden­t master suite offering northweste­rn and western views. An entertainm­ent cabinet with a builtin television occupies a corner of the suite that includes a pair of walkin closets with custom builtins. The suite also boasts a pair of spacaliber bathrooms, each home to a steam shower. One of the bathrooms includes a freestandi­ng soaking tub set beside floortocei­ling windows overlookin­g the cityscape to the Pacific Ocean.

An additional shower can be found in the penthouse’s private gym.

The study, with its custom cabinetry, Bottega Veneta desk and iconic views, provides another highlight for the fourbedroo­m penthouse. Its cabinetry features a hidden door and drawers, along with Henge Cage B shelving made of burnished brass and black eucalyptus.

Even the powder room received topshelf treatments. Silver plated sconces brighten an interior fashioned by titanium marble walls, black porcelain tile floor and an Antonio Lupi vanity.

Besides standing as the tallest residentia­l building in the city, 181 Fremont is also San Francisco’s first precertifi­ed LEED Platinum mixeduse tower. The skyscraper has already earned highest honors for its engineerin­g from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, an internatio­nal nonprofit widely considered to be the authority on the planning, design and constructi­on of highrises.

Residents enjoy indulgent amenities including onsite concierge services and 24hour valet parking.

A skybridge on the seventh level offers residents direct access to the 5.4acre Salesforce Park.

181 Fremont’s celebrated 39th floor, The Sky Lounge, with interior design by Kendall Wilkinson, provides residents with an elegant club atmosphere in which to mingle or use for private celebratio­ns. With a catering kitchen and conference room, residents are invited to conduct business in the Sky Lounge, just a few stories from where they live, while the fitness center and yoga room provide inspiring views of San Francisco.

The bay terrace features a lounge area and piano bar overlookin­g the Bay Bridge, while the north lounge hosts a media room for a theater experience. The elegant conservato­ry provides a soothing setting for casual meetings, reading or reflection. The wraparound observatio­n deck boasts 360 degree views of the water and city skyline.
