Late Comedian Robin Williams’ Second Wife Marsha Sells Their Former Marital Mansion for $18.1 Million

Legendary actor and comedian Robin Williams‘ former mansion in San Francisco has been sold for $18.1 million—just over a year after his second wife put it on the market for $25 million.

The Italian Renaissance-style abode served as the residence of Marsha Garces Williams for 30 years, and it was where she and Robin, who died in 2014 at the age of 63, raised their children together.

Marsha, who split from Robin in 2010, listed the home in October 2023 in a bid to downsize. Her children had flown the nest and she was ready to move to a smaller abode, she explained.

“It’s a beautiful, happy house,” she told Mansion Global at the time. “We had many, many fantastic years of fun and play and joy there.”

Now, that opportunity to fill the house with joy will pass to its new owner, who closed on the property on Jan. 23, according to records.

Situated on a walled and gated lot in San Francisco’s tony Sea Cliff neighborhood, the noteworthy property was built in 1926—a decade before the construction of architect Earle B. Bertz’s landmark Golden Gate Bridge.

The sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay and the Marin Headlands are surely one of the main things that attracted the buyer—whose identity has not been revealed.

The home sprawls across nearly 10,600 square feet and features many of the same architectural designs as it did when it was built in 1926, despite the former couple having raised their three children there.

“Marsha and Robin Williams took the house down to the studs and rebuilt it in the early ’90s, updating all the major systems,” listing agent Steven Mavromihalis told Realtor.com® when the property first came on the market.

“However, they took great pains to preserve the rare and valuable building materials used in 1926, which are simply no longer available in the construction of modern homes.”

The home has been maintained extremely well since the actor passed away.

The couple bought the home for $3.2 million in 1991. When they divorced in 2010, Marsha kept the property.

The main entry is anchored by a grand staircase covered in period-appropriate terra-cotta tile and a wrought-iron railing. Intricately carved crown molding, vaulted ceilings, and marble detailing are found throughout the property.

The bespoke kitchen is equipped with a La Cornue range and other high-end appliances, custom cabinets with handcrafted wood inlay, and a butler’s pantry.

The primary suite, one of six bedrooms in the house, features a postcard-worthy view of the Golden Gate Bridge; custom, Japanese built-in vanities; a platform tub; and a walk-in shower.

Additional interior amenities include a media room, fitness studio, sauna, wet bar, wine cellar, and multiple panic rooms with walk-in safes.

Verdant lawns surround the home, and the private grounds include a dining patio with a barbecue, a fire pit, and several other seating areas.

The Sea Cliff neighborhood has played host to a slew of famous faces, including Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, and actress Sharon Stone.

The area is within walking distance of Baker Beach, China Beach, a golf course, numerous hiking trails, and the Legion of Honor art museum, along with restaurants and shops.

Before he died, Robin held the keys to two additional properties in Northern California: a home in Tiburon, which was sold for $5.3 million in 2020, and a 653-acre Napa Valley estate named Villa Sorriso, which means “House of Smiles.”

Robin hanged himself in his Paradise Cay, CA, home and died of asphyxiation. Following his death, it was revealed that he had recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, according to CNN.
