A penthouse in Pacific Heights closed this week for $11 million, the largest residential apartment sale this year. The sale is only eclipsed in price by a house at 3450 Washington St., which sold for $34.5 million in March.
The penthouse at 1960 Broadway is one of just three existing pre-WWII penthouse apartments in San Francisco that are a full floor and span two levels, according to Sotheby's Realty. Deborah Svoboda of Sotheby's International Realty secured the deal for the company's San Francisco brokerage.
One of SF's largest co-op-style apartments, the penthouse spans roughly 4,360 square feet and was renovated in 2011.
Quirky features of the home include an 800-pound custom-made metal door, a private elevator and wraparound windows that offer views that span from the Golden Gate Bridge to Telegraph Hill. It has a terrace and—a rarity for San Francisco—a two-car garage.

The apartment was built during San Francisco's "Golden Age" of architecture, designed by architect Frederick Quandt and completed in 1925. Another nearby Pac Heights apartment designed by Quandt was once listed for $9.88 million.
