Experience exclusive living at 2100 Pacific Avenue, one of San Francisco's most prestigious and coveted pre-war cooperative buildings in Pacific Heights. Designed by renowned architect Samuel Lightner Hyman and built in 1926, this historic boutique residence features only 18 exclusive units with commanding views from the Golden Gate Bridge to downtown San Francisco, the Bay Bridge, and the San Francisco Bay.
This architecturally distinguished building showcases Romanesque Revival and Spanish Colonial architectural elegance with its iconic pitched terracotta tile roof, vaulted arched gallery entrance, refined exterior frieze detailing, and elegant Palladian windows. Perched prominently along the crest of Pacific Avenue on the north slope of Pacific Heights, this fully detached high-rise building represents one of San Francisco's most important pre-war residential addresses.
The building's penthouse famously served as the residence of the Walter Haas Sr. family (Levi Strauss & Co. heirs), where significant works now in the SFMOMA permanent collection once hung, including Henri Matisse's "Femme au Chapeau." Interior designer Frances Elkins decorated multiple generations of the Stern and Haas families' residences in this historic building.

Tamalpais, and Mt. Diablo. The building's northern exposure provides sweeping 60-foot-wide vista walls in select residences.
