Epic Bayfront Mansion with Checkered Past Returns for $35.9M
Have a nomination for a jaw-dropping listing that would make a mighty fine House of the Day? Get thee to the tipline and send us your suggestions. We'd love to see what you've got.
Location: Belvedere, Calif.
Price: $35,880,000
The Skinny: This huge mansion on California's exclusive Belvedere peninsula was only built after overcoming significant neighborhood opposition, including a neighbor who called the project a "parachute McMansion" in 2008. Of course, that's when plans were calling for a 10,280-square-foot structure on the 1.14-acre lot. Five years later, the house is complete, despite the opposition, and ballooned to over 15,000 square feet. Built by hedge fund manager John Tozzi, the seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom megamansion includes a three car garage, gated parking for more than 20 cars, 6,000-square-feet of terraces, a swimming pool, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a staggering master suite with his and hers dressing rooms and a marble bathtub with bay views. Set on the Bay opposite San Francisco, the property enjoys some of the finest skyline views in the area, plus a full look at the Golden Gate Bridge. A project this luxurious, and this burdened with legal fees, wasn't going to come cheap; It is currently listed for $35.88M.
