Patty Hearst's historic San Francisco condo at 1001 California St. lists for $5.2 million
A historic condo at 1001 California St. in San Francisco, once home to Patty Hearst, is currently on the market for $5.2 million. The property occupies the entire top floor of a landmark beaux arts building designed by architect Houghton Sawyer. Unit 7 features 2,980 square feet of space, including a grand foyer with spiraled staircases, a period-perfect library, and a formal dining room. The residence was notable for being the home of Patty Hearst in the 1970s after she was released on bail. Co-listing agent Grazia Bennett of Sotheby’s International Realty noted that the building's architecture is inspired by the Haussmann style, which redefined Paris in the 1800s. The condo last sold for $3.5 million in 2010. The new owner will occupy a prestigious full-service building in the Nob Hill neighborhood, located near the Fairmont and Huntington Park.
