MARINA—It's very possible that we've stumbled upon the most amenities ever on a single roof deck. This tricked out roof is three levels and features a hot tub, BBQ area, outdoor television, and a putting green.

PACIFIC HEIGHTS—The late Lee Herbst Gruhn's mansion atop Pacific Heights is currently playing host to the 2013 Decorator Showcase. It's also back on the market. The 5-bed, 4.5-bath, 8,100 square foot home was last listed for $9.75M. It's now asking $11.995M.

THE EMBARCADERO—The drama continues for the luxury condo development at 8 Washington. Opponents of the project are throwing a fit because it's becoming more apparent that a s**tstorm would happen if a nearby pressurized sewer pipeline gets damaged during construction.

PACIFIC HEIGHTS—A stately abode on Vallejo Street just took a $2.505M price chop, but that doesn't mean the 8-bed, 5.75-bath Neo-Tuscan property moved down a few spots on the Most Expensive List. Nope, it's still the third most expensive home for sale in San Francisco.

HAYES VALLEY—We visited Koshland Community Park and Learning Garden to break down all the details of the park. Check it out (and the gallery, too!)

CIVIC CENTER—What's the deal with the Richard Meier & Partners tower at 1 Van Ness? Will it be built? A reader asked and we have answers and pretty renderings.

SAN FRANCISCO—The top three sales of the week go to some pretty pricey properties. The number three spot goes to a 3-bedroom co-op in Pacific Heights that sold for $3.575M, and the most expensive sale of the week is a 5-bedroom home in Presidio Heights that sold for $9.5M.

BAY AREA—We sat down with architect and Bay Area native Jonathan Feldman to discuss what it's like to build sustainably in the Bay Area. Check out his interview here.
