The Museum Tower Penthouse, known to most as "the St. Regis Penthouse that once was asking $70 million goddamn dollars," is now bank-owned and totally affordable. Just kidding! But it is the cheapest its ever been at $35 million. As the Wall Street Journal points out, this is "likely the most expensive bank-owned, single-family residential real estate listing in the country." The 6-bed, 6-full bath, 4-half bath penthouse that clocks in somewhere in the 20,000 square foot range is actually built from three separate penthouses over two floors, combined by real estate mogul Victor MacFarlane. No one has ever lived in it. The mega condo is currently in the process of being staged, and will hopefully be shown to potential buyers sometime in September.

Wednesday, May 4, 2011, by Sally Kuchar Gather round, folks, because this airy and bright condo is seriously sharp. Unit #31A at the St. Regis Residences in the Yerba Buena district (aka SoMa) is a 3-bed, 3-bath, 2,027-square-foot condo with all the fancy shmancy you'd expect from a property of this caliber: Floor-to-ceiling windows and views of Downtown and the Bay Bridge. In addition to the $225 leased parking fee, there's also monthly HOA dues of $2,330. Before you spit up your cocktail, consider that the St. Regis has more amenities than we can count. Room service, pool, gym, Remede Spa, concierge service, butler service, "world-class security," and unlimited valet parking, to name a few. Just make sure our housewarming party invitation doesn't get lost in the mail, thanks!
