An Early-20th Century San Francisco Home Lists for $14.25M

A former tech CEO is listing his Pacific Heights property.

Quentin Gallivan, the former CEO of BlueJeans Technology Company, is selling his San Fransisco Pacific Heights home. Gallivan purchased the home 20 years ago in October 2022 for $7.2 million, according to Dirt. Gallivan and his wife listed the home in 2018 for $700,000 less than it is listed for now, but after six months with no bidders, they leased it out. The tech tycoon, whose cloud-based videoconferencing company was acquired by Verizon for half a billion dollars in 2020, is asking $14,250,000.

The brick-and-ivy structure holds 6,400 square feet and still preserves its early-1900s charm. It comes as no surprise, though, that Gallivan has artfully renovated the home and brought it into the 21st century. A security system and a Sonos sound system seamlessly combine with the home’s rich ebony oak floors and coffered ceilings.

While the foyer may be a beautiful entrance to the rest of the home with its custom wrought iron and glass doors and black and white marble, it only foreshadows what’s to come. Throughout the residence, panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the Bay Area make for a pretty spectacular background on video conference calls. The impressive kitchen holds all new appliances, along with custom cabinetry and marble countertops.

Holding four levels in total, six bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and a powder bath are spread throughout the home. The top floor includes an office with skylights. On the lower level, along with a two-car garage (which is a distinct plus in San Francisco), is a wine cellar and media room for all sorts of entertainment.

Close to the bustle and culture of the city as well as never-ending views, this sumptuous residence is a unique offering listed with Nina Hatvany of Compass Realty.
