Robin Williams’ former family mansion in San Francisco hits the market for $25 million as his ex-wife reflects on “fantastic years of fun and joy” in the seven-bedroom property

Robin Williams’ seven-bedroom family mansion in San Francisco is for sale for nearly $25 million.

Located in the exclusive Sea Cliff neighborhood of El Camino Del Mar, the villa was originally built in 1926 by architect Earle B. Bertz.

Williams bought the villa during the filming of Steven Spielberg’s film “Hook” in 1991.

His then-wife Marsha and three children lived there with him until the couple’s divorce in 2010.

Now Marsha is selling the sprawling property to downsize now that all of her children are “grown up.”

She told the Wall Street Journal: “It’s a beautiful, happy house. “We had many, many fantastic years of fun and games and joy there.”

The Italian Renaissance-style villa has seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms on a 17,149 square meter plot, making it one of the largest and most private walled residential properties in the city.

The home’s true value lies in its details such as ornate moldings, wide hardwood floors, patterned terracotta tiles and exposed beams.

Shortly before the couple divorced, they renovated the house.

New upgrades included a movie theater with a drop-down projector, an eat-in kitchen, a Prohibition-era bar hidden behind wood paneling, and a secret passageway connecting the children’s bedrooms.

“With easy access to the Peninsula and Silicon Valley, the Sea Cliff neighborhood also boasts many of San Francisco’s best public and private schools,” the listing says.

Williams’ son Cody married Maria Flores at this villa on his father’s birthday in 2019.

The couple had guests hold yellow roses and a three-wick candle was lit in honor of his father and other deceased family members.

A recording of Maria singing “Never Enough” played in the background.

The Oscar-winning actor and comedian lost his battle with depression and took his own life on August 11, 2014 at his home in Tiburon.

His wife, Susan Schneider, revealed after his death that he had suffered from early-stage Parkinson’s disease.

The incurable disease causes damage to nerve cells in the brain and leads to a drop in dopamine levels. It can affect movement and often involves tremors.
