Once the sun sets, the Clocktower Penthouse serves as a beautiful beacon of light.

If you've ever roamed the streets of SoMa in San Francisco, there's a good chance you spotted a soaring clocktower. Located at 461 2nd Street, the iconic structure has long intrigued residents and travelers alike since it completed construction in the 1920s. While it originally served as the headquarters to Max Schmidt Lithography Company—once the largest printing company on the West Coast—the building was radically reimagined in 1993 into numerous live/work spaces. Now, its most visible residence, the Clocktower Penthouse, is up for grabs.

Sited in San Francisco's popular SoMa neighborhood, the Clocktower Penthouse is perched in the top four floors of the Clock Tower Lofts Building. Steeped in rich history, the 3,000-square-foot home has been meticulously remodeled for contemporary living.
