Luxury Real Estate: An Art Dealer’s Contemporary San Francisco Retreat & An Oceanfront Manor from 1890
1. A first-class modern art collection looks right at home in this San Francisco stunner.
This modern architectural marvel in San Francisco’s Dolores Heights neighborhood is currently owned by Rowland Weinstein—a well-known art dealer specializing in abstract and surrealist art. Built in 1978, the 3,400-square-foot residence underwent a comprehensive renovation, helmed by local architect John Maniscalco, in 2009. The three-story beauty boasts an inviting open floor plan, soaring ceilings, floating staircases, and numerous skylights.
While decidedly contemporary, the home has a distinct mid-century feel, thanks in part to the residence’s materials (wood, glass, and metal), clean lines, and expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows. Weinstein played up the Modernist aesthetic with sleek mid-century furniture, including a Barcelona chair by Mies van der Rohe and chrome-accented, Milo Baughman-style seating. An exquisite selection of abstract modern art adds to the home’s cutting-edge appeal.
The four-bedroom retreat offers stunning, panoramic views of the city as well as an array of charming outdoor living spaces. On the first level, the kitchen and adjoining living area open onto a spacious patio thanks to a folding glass wall, while two of the bedrooms on the second floor are outfitted with private decks. This stylish retreat is listed for $4.9 million. Click here to view the full listing.

2. This oceanfront manor is brimming with classic New England charm.
Built around 1890, this inviting home sits on four waterfront acres in Ogunquit, Maine. Impeccably preserved and retaining many original details, including beautiful wood paneling and a grand stone fireplace, the 2,979-square-foot gem features jaw-dropping ocean views in nearly every room.
The four-bedroom residence is the perfect setting for a collection of American antiques, including a Chippendale wing chair and Queen Anne candlestand in the living room, and Federal paint-decorated side chairs in the kitchen. A selection of stunning European antiques, including Swedish Rococo dining chairs, also make an appearance.
Outside, the home features a large, secluded pebble beach and an oceanside, in-ground pool. The property also comes with a detached two-to-three bedroom guest cottage, a garden shed, and a pool house. Over sixty antique millstones adorn the home’s magnificent gardens and patios. This Maine abode carries a $6 million price tag. Click here to view the full listing.
