A Russian Hill mansion tied to one of San Francisco\u2019s most prominent retail dynasties is hitting the market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The home at 888 Francisco Street, long owned by developer Robert \u201cBob\u201d Fisher, has been listed by his children for nearly $17.3 million following his death in October at age 94, the San Francisco Business Times reported<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fisher was the younger brother of Gap<\/a> founder Donald Fisher. Through his firm, Fisher Development, Bob Fisher built more than 1,000 homes across Northern California, and in 1974, his brother Donald asked him to help build Gap stores across North America and Europe. His work with Gap helped make Fisher Development one of the country\u2019s top retail builders, earning Shopping Center World Magazine\u2019s accolades as the largest retail contractor in the U.S. for several years in the late 1990s, according to the Business Times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The three-bedroom, roughly 6,000-square-foot home was built in 1998 with designs from architect Sandy Walker, known for high-end homes across San Francisco\u2019s most exclusive enclaves. The property includes four full bathrooms, two half-baths, a wine cellar, a butler\u2019s bar, a powder room, elevator and multiple entertaining spaces with views stretching from Alcatraz Island to the Marin Headlands.<\/p>\n

The home was built from scratch after the previous house on the property was torn down. \u201cThe key is that it was a ground-up construction,\u201d Sotheby\u2019s listing agent Joe Lucier told the Business Times. \u201cIt was a design of its time that stood the test of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The listing lands amid an active spring for San Francisco\u2019s high-end housing market<\/a>. Homes priced above $5 million are seeing renewed competition, driven in part by tech wealth and limited inventory, a symptom of the artificial intelligence boom<\/a> that has led to a mansion shortage<\/a> at the higher end of the market. Earlier this month, a Pacific Heights property traded for $56 million, marking the city\u2019s priciest sale so far this year. Another eight-digit listing, a 7,470-square-foot modernist residence in Pacific Heights, went live last week<\/a> for $22.5 million.<\/p>\n
