A San Francisco apartment steeped in the charm of 1920s high society is on the market for $24.5 million.

The 5,700-square-foot home takes up the entire eighth floor of the iconic, pink-hued 2006 Washington, a 1924 building that’s been called the "crown jewel" of San Francisco, according to the property’s listing on Pacific Union.

Perched in the exclusive Pacific Heights neighborhood, overlooking Lafayette Park and the landmarked Spreckels Mansion, the co-op also offers sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco Bay and the city’s skyline.

The apartment was first owned by the late San Francisco financier Dean Witter, who helped design the apartment’s "elegant and traditional" style, according to the listing, posted Wednesday.

Apartment features include a solarium, sizeable balconies, arched entryways, a library, intricate ironwork, as well as six bedrooms  (two of which were designed as staff living quarters) and five-and-a-half bathrooms.

High ceilings, spacious rooms and large windows help add to the apartment’s grand and bright feel. Though a classic space, it also has modern touches, including a recently remodeled kitchen with two refrigerators and its own service elevator.

Other building amenities include two parking spaces, along with separate guest parking, three storage rooms, a doorman and a large, manicured garden.

The building’s architect, Conrad Meussdorffer, was also responsible for the design of several neighboring Pacific Heights properties during the early 20th century.

The apartment has had two owners, according to the listing. Aside from Witter, property records name Arthur J.  Fritz, Jr., and his wife, Barbara, as owners. Fritz, a San Francisco native who died in 2014, was the founder of the Fritz Underground Winery in Sonoma.

The listing agents did not return request for comment.
