Price differential aside, to really appreciate San Francisco’s landmarks, you might just be better off buying this penthouse than taking a double-decker bus tour.
The top-floor perch at the Royal Towers in Russian Hill has hit the market for $10 million. The modern abode, designed by Napa Valley’s Erin Martin, is a sleek home base in one of California’s most picturesque cities. From the 29th floor, you’ll have unobstructed views from the downtown skyline to Coit Tower, Alcatraz, and both the Golden Gate and Bay Bridge. James Nunemacher at Vanguard Properties holds the listing.

The two-bedroom, 2.5-bath unit encompasses 3,640 square feet on the uppermost floor of the William Turnbull Architects–designed building. The sweeping main room sports handcrafted woodwork, steel-trimmed aluminum ceiling panels, and artisanal plaster walls. In the living room, you can cozy up by the oversized fireplace that features a textured tile, while the dining area is capped by a circular ceiling feature. The chef’s kitchen, meanwhile, is decked out with Fisher & Paykel appliances, custom poured-concrete counters, and multiple pantries.
In the serene primary bedroom, the calming monochromatic vibe continues with a discreet ceiling-mounted TV. Dual sinks made of artisan-fabricated concrete anchor the primary bathroom, which also comes equipped with a soaking tub. Three private terraces wrap around the penthouse, offering expansive views of the surrounding city.

The Royal Towers includes a host of amenities that include 24-hour door service, a conference center, and a rooftop pool contained in a glass structure. The penthouse comes with three parking spaces and extra storage as well.
As far as San Francisco penthouses go, this one may actually be a pretty great deal. Other recent offerings to hit the market recently have asking prices way above $10 million: The Grand Penthouse at 181 Fremont was listed earlier this month for $35 million, far less than the $46 million price tag it carried when it soft-launched back in 2019. And in October, a duplex penthouse at the Pacific in Pacific Heights popped up at $30 million, though the price has since been reduced quite a bit, to $24.8 million.
