Story update on Oct. 23, 2018: Public record indicates this home sold for $38 million.

A massive, newly built Pacific Heights mansion that became the most expensive home on the market in San Francisco when it was listed in April for $40 million closed last week.

"There were several offers," said listing agent Val Steele of Pacific Union, but "the new owner prefers to not reveal details," including the sales price.

As long as the buyer didn't knock more than $4.9 million off the asking price, 2712 Broadway will go down as the most expensive single-family home to change hands in the history of San Francisco real estate.

Just two blocks away, 2950 Broadway had held that title. It sold for $35 million in 2013.

Perched high above the bay, the stunner at 2712 Broadway is a limestone masterpiece of modernity among the stately and fanciful manses that line the neighborhood's most coveted three-block stretch known as the Gold Coast, or Billionaire's Row, SFGATE reported previously. Oracle's Larry Ellison is next door and philanthropists Ann and Gordon Getty are down the street.

The home was built "on spec," which in real estate lingo means the developer built it with no particular buyer in mind.

Developer Bill Campbell of Marble Management purchased the property for $7.8 million in 2009. He tore down the original 19th-century clapboard, according to the Wall Street Journal, and spent four years building a sparkling new home.

Seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms and four-and-a-half baths, a gourmet kitchen, two kitchenettes, a spa with a gym and massage room, a media room and two wine rooms are spread across 11,400 square feet. An elevator takes you to multiple levels as well as the top floor where a terrace includes yet another kitchen.

Floor-to-ceiling windows across the north side provide sweeping views of the bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, the tree-filled Presidio, the grassy hills of the headlands, the seaside village of Sausalito and the island of Belvedere. Non-reflective glass that costs four to five times more than typical glass was used so the view is equally stunning at night.

The home was co-listed by Steele and Thomas Biss of Sotheby's International Realty.
