SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- 
A San Francisco mansion near many of the city's most popular landmarks has reentered the market as the city's most expensive listing at $40.5 million -- a reduction from its original $45 million.

Willis Polk
 Located just one block from the world's most crooked street and near cable cars, Fisherman's Wharf and the San Francisco Art Museum, the 9,500-square-foot home on Russian Hill features stand-and-stare views over San Francisco Bay and Telegraph Hill. 
Steve McQueen
The Russian Hill name dates back to the San Francisco Gold Rush days when prospectors discovered that the hilly neighborhood was the site of a Russian cemetery, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.
Neal Cassady
 In addition to its culture, food (Ghirardelli Square and family-run restaurants) and entertainment opportunities, Russian Hill has been seen by millions of movie goers from the famous car-chase scenes in Steve McQueen's 1968-movie Bullitt that were filmed there.
Jack Kerouac
 Former well-known residents include Beat Generation writers Neal Cassady and Jack Kerouac and current California Governor Gavin Newsom.
