"Strolling through estates in Pacific Heights, Atherton, or the hills of Marin, it's easy to question whether you're touring a residence or an art gallery. These properties are evolving into curated showcases, where the architecture, decor, and artwork are as much the stars as the sprawling kitchens or infinity pools. High ceilings, natural light cascading through floor-to-ceiling windows, and interiors designed by internationally acclaimed designers make these estates feel more like private museums than places to hang your coat."
"Buyers are acquiring not only a luxurious living space, but also a lifestyle, a statement, a curated world. The trend is fueled by buyers who are collectors of wealth as well as collectors of taste. In the Bay Area, tech magnates and creative entrepreneurs are investing in homes that double as sanctuaries for art and design. Some estates even come with their own dedicated galleries, climate-controlled for precious pieces, complete with exhibition lighting that would make any museum curator nod in approval."
