The Listings: Dream Houses

You gotta dream big.

And it doesn’t hurt to know where you want to end up — after the big score. After you’ve cashed out, sold out, landed the client of a lifetime.

The reward comes with a street address, and floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of the Golden Gate.

Here’s where to start — with the five best, most ultra-extravagant properties on the market in S.F. today.
