Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For Sale

Belvedere Island in San Francisco Bay is flush with history. It was where the wealthy built their country estates during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Back then, the only connection to the mainland was via two roads that were built on sand bars, which could only be seen during low tide. The island was incorporated in 1896 but there is still no downtown and has been used primarily as a residential community of beautiful homes, elegant landscaping and home to the San Francisco Yacht Club. Only one square mile in size, it is one of the wealthiest towns in the San Francisco area with mansions built on hills or at the edge of the water with spectacular views of Angel Island, the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco city skyline.

One of the island’s most storied estates is for sale providing privacy and 360-degree views from every exposure. Built in 1895 by C.O. Parry, a pioneer Belvedere official, the original estate included 30 acres on the southern tip of Belvedere Island. The mansion was purchased by Gordon Blanding, a San Francisco attorney, around 1900. After the 1906 earthquake, the Blandings lived there full time because their San Francisco home had been destroyed. The current owner has spent more than $32 million in painstakingly restoring the estate, including $8 million on the landscaping. Most of the historical and architectural interior and exterior detailing of the house have been retained for reduced property taxes under the Mills Act.

The entrance to the property is guarded by bronze gates designed by Hearst Castle architect Julia Morgan. The porte-cochere, with 15-foot-high ceilings, opens into a foyer with a bronze-balustraded staircase. The dining room has mahogany wainscoting and hand-glazed walls, as do many of the main rooms. On the lower level, the great room features herringbone floors, alabaster pendant lamps and coffered ceilings. Upstairs, the master suite has a spa tub with mahogany doors and marble baths throughout, and an elevator serves each floor. With nearly 10,000 square feet of living area, the home has four bedrooms, six full bathrooms (including pool house), three powder rooms, and a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment and two-car garage. A veranda with Corinthian columns, bronze sconces and teak decking wraps around the southern, eastern and western exposures. For more information.

One of San Francisco’s grandest estates located on the southern tip of Belvedere Island with 360 degree views and $32 million in restoration of mansion and grounds is now for sale. Originally priced at $65 million, now listed at $49 million.
