Around three-and-a-half years after he sold his Marin County home in a lucrative off-market deal for nearly $6 million and relocated to Sacramento, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has decided to make a return to the Bay Area. The San Francisco native plans to split his time between Sacramento and Marin County, where his four children are reportedly already enrolled in school.
Records show Newsom, whose gubernatorial term ends in 2027, and his documentary filmmaker wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom have paid billionaire Hyatt Hotels heir Daniel Pritzker $9.1 million—about $600,000 over asking—through a private LLC for a midcentury modern abode in the affluent unincorporated community of Kentfield, about 20 miles north of San Francisco. First listed in summer 2023 for just under $11.5 million, the place underwent several price chops before landing at its final ask of $8.5 million.
Secluded amid a leafy parcel spanning nearly an acre and touted in marketing materials as “architecturally stunning and magazine worthy,” the wood-clad structure was built in 1948 and offers six bedrooms and an equal number of baths in a little more than 5,600 square feet of living space on three levels. Stylish interiors are adorned throughout with rich hardwood floors, high ceilings, and large windows framing picturesque views of Mount Tamalpais.
Though photos are scarce, online listings show a sunken living room sporting a wet bar and a double-sided fireplace that steps up to an adjacent dining area. A gourmet kitchen is outfitted with an eat-in island, top-tier stainless appliances, and an accompanying breakfast nook, while a fireside family room has floor-to-ceiling folding glass doors spilling outside. Other notable features include an office, two primary suites, and resort-like grounds hosting outdoor sculptures, a pool and spa nestled alongside a wood deck and a fire pit, and an array of spots for alfresco lounging and entertaining. There’s also a guesthouse, plus a three-car garage flanked by a spacious motor court.
In addition to his new Marin County home, the possible 2028 presidential candidate also lays claim to a $3.7 million residence in suburban Sacramento’s Fair Oaks neighborhood, near the State Capitol building.
