Where San Francisco’s History, Architecture & Skyline Converge

Modernist pedigree meets San Francisco legend at 109–111 Telegraph Hill Boulevard. Set just steps from Coit Tower with sweeping views from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay Bridge, this extraordinary estate is both a work of architecture and a social landmark—originally designed in 1960 by famed California modernist Gardner Dailey, and commissioned by legendary host Whitney Warren, Jr.

Featured in Architectural Digest, Town & Country, and Rizzoli’s Inventing the California Look, this iconic residence combines timeless International Style design with grand-scale entertaining, expansive light, and extraordinary indoor-outdoor flow.
