EGADS.
Property prices in this country are just out of hand.
We know beach homes are more expensive than others. We know the San Francisco Bay Area is pricey. We get it.
But $9 million for a four-bedroom house?
We’ll say it again: EGADS.
Romance novelist Danielle Steel, who’s the best-selling author alive (yes, even above J.K. Rowling), has offered her Stinson Beach, CA, getaway for sale. The home is a hair shy of 3500 square feet, sits on a lot just more than a 1/2 acre, and has four bedrooms and four full bathrooms.
And it’s nine … million … dollars.
We’ll grant the writer—who’s penned 90 novels and 17 children’s books—this caveat: the place does have a killer view of the Pacific Ocean. It’s nice.
EGADS.
It’s a sweet little Cape Cod-style cottage with cozy fireplaces (we imagine those are lovely for warding off the seaside’s evening chill), skylights, an oceanside solarium for al fresco dining, and a beachy-feeling kitchen—and it does have a swell gas range that is likely great for prepping lobsters and such for dinner.
Like we said: it’s nice.
The house also comes fully furnished. That great if you’re into really, really bright colors—and lots and LOTS of stuff.
(Holy tag sale, Batman, is there ever a ton of stuff in this house!)
The lucky buyer gets all the furnishings, including the home’s art and all its bikes. So, maybe that’s what makes this place tip the scales at $5 million more than the closest comparable home in the area.
(We guess?)
Danielle Steel, who’s spent most of her career in California, also owns a 55-room home in San Francisco that was once the mansion of sugar king Adolph Spreckels. If you’ve got money to burn and are in the market for a nice little beach cottage, though, listing agent Sarah Kowalczyk is the lady to call for this Stinson slice of heaven.
