Finding a place to live in San Francisco is not for the faint of heart. As prices continue to skyrocket for renters and homebuyers alike, the quest to find housing is becoming an increasingly daunting task. It’s always astonishing to learn what people are willing to pay for housing in San Francisco. From replicas of Versailles to mansions with elevators, here are the top 3 most expensive homes on the market in San Francisco:

3800 Washington Street

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this Presidio Heights mansion is currently the most expensive on the market, with an asking price of $17,995,000. Known to historians as the Koshland House, this mansion was built in 1904 as a replica of Le Petit Trianon in France, a chateau that King Louis XV built for his mistress on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles. The property features a total of 14 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, and sits on a lot that’s nearly 29,000 square feet in size. The least surprising detail? It’s a bankruptcy sale.

2660 Scott Street

On the market as of September 14, with an asking price of $15,000,000, this four-story Pacific Heights mansion comes with not only an elevator and a multi-car garage, but also a roof deck, a separate nanny suite and a wine cellar. Built in 1901, the property sits atop Pacific Heights, with iconic views of Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate Bridge.

With four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and 3,890 square feet of space, this historic landmark sits for sale at $12,000,000. Also known as the Atkinson-Escher House, the Russian Hill property was originally built in 1853 and remodeled by the renowned San Francisco architect Willis Polk in the early 1900s. But don’t let its age fool you. With a number of outside patios, this house claims to have views from nearly every room, which, to some, might be worth the $12 million asking price. In San Francisco, the average number of days for a home to be on the market is less than one month, at 26 days. This home has been on the market for over a year.
