At 2830 Pacific Ave in Pacific Heights, a brick Georgian Colonial closed on Monday for $27.5 million, the full asking price, after spending more than a year cycling on and off the market. The six-bedroom house, with six full baths and two half baths, sits on a rare street-to-street triple lot and sold for roughly $2,857 per square foot. Public records list the buyer as an LLC called Almost Heaven, wrapping up a comeback listing that returned to the market in late March.

MLS records show the property was relisted at $27.5 million in late March, went into contract within a week, and closed on April 27 at that full ask. The listing history also notes an earlier entry at $35 million in 2023 and a May 2010 sale for about $8.35 million. According to Redfin, that arc framed the property’s slow-burn exit and eventual comeback.

Agents Credit A Market Shift

Sotheby's agent Annie Williams, who toured the house, described a mix of “sexy” bay views and “practical” amenities like a detached garage and a motor court with space for six cars. Compass agent Nina Hatvany told the San Francisco Standard that “the market is up about 20% or more for homes like this in the past very few months.”

The Standard reports the home went off the market in fall 2025 before returning at the end of March and going into contract quickly, a timeline that lines up with the recent run of high-end buyers stepping back in. As reported by The San Francisco Standard, both buyer and seller agents declined further comment, letting the closing price do the talking.

A Price Cut And A Patient Seller

The house first hit the market at $35 million in 2023 before the listing was trimmed to $27.5 million, a reduction the listing team framed as a “fresh start” as San Francisco’s high-end market softened. Public records show the owner purchased the Gold Coast property around 2010 for roughly $8.35 million, meaning the seller realized a multi-million-dollar gain after years of holding and renovating the home. As outlined by The Real Deal, that patient pricing strategy ultimately synced up with this spring’s rebound in luxury demand.

What This Means For Pacific Heights

The quick sale at full asking suggests demand at the very top of the market is tightening, with neighborhood metrics such as sale-to-list ratios and days on market showing recent improvement that leans toward sellers. For Gold Coast brokers, the 2830 Pacific result is a reminder that careful pricing, polished presentation and a bit of patience can still outrun early markdowns in the current cycle.

Max Armour’s agent profile at Compass shows he frequently handles high-end Northside listings, and brokers say outcomes like this will likely encourage more owners to test the market rather than cut price right away.
