architecture-design · 2026-05-05

The late Bob Fisher, master builder behind Gap's stores in the U.S. and abroad, completed this Russian Hill residence in 1998 for himself and his wife Ann. The angular modern home on the Gold Coast offers sweeping views of San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Designed with architect Sandy Walker, the property features a Sol LeWitt wall drawing in the foyer, a spiral staircase with skylight, herringbone wood floors, and a Nancy Meyers-style kitchen. The primary suite occupies the entire top floor with fireplace, two bathrooms, dressing rooms, and a private office opening to a terrace. Two ensuite bedrooms on the garden level open to a walled garden. Additional amenities include a wine cellar, mirrored exercise studio, and family room with built-in shelving. The Fishers were the only owners; Bob died last year, Ann in 2014. Listed at $17.3 million by Joseph Lucier and Stacey Caen of Sotheby's International Realty—San Francisco Brokerage.
