Robert Redford, the iconic actor and director whose name is synonymous with classic American cinema, has listed his Tiburon home for sale, with an asking price set at $4.15 million. Acquired in 2020 for a reported $3.1 million, as public records indicate, the residence is positioned in a setting that values privacy and boasts expansive views of the San Francisco Bay. The listing, courtesy of Steven Mavromihalis of Compass, details a four-bedroom property spread across 2,824 square feet and nestled amidst the natural beauty of towering redwoods, as per COMPASS.
Described as an "oasis of privacy" by the listing agent, the home at 2517 Mar East St. features a split-level cottage design dating back to 1968, with a layout attentive to indoor and outdoor living. It is completed by a spacious family room, a two-car garage, and decidedly Mediterranean gardens that accentuate the coastal vibe of Tiburon—a community characterized by its serenity and accessibility to local amenities. Offering a narrative beyond mere property specifications, Redford and his wife, Sibylle Szaggars Redford, shared with the San Francisco Chronicle, "We have a long history with and great affection for the town of Tiburon, having previously owned other homes in the area."
Redford's statement further reveals their appreciation for the community's "friendly vibe" and proximity to natural wonders and city conveniences. The couple's affectionate bond with Tiburon has manifested in their home, reflected in the cosmetic changes they have implemented to create a brighter, more coastal feel, enhancing the property's connection between interior spaces and its verdant surroundings. Their affinity extends beyond their household to the local promenade, where the tranquility of Tiburon converges with the connectivity of a tight-knit community.
Despite experiencing a lull due to rising interest rates, the real estate market in Tiburon remains a hotspot; as of October, the median sale price reached $2.7 million, reflecting a 6.4% surge from the previous year, indicative of the area's enduring appeal. This detail, reported by Steven Mavromihalis, lends broader context to the value of the Redfords' Tiburon abode, as per the San Francisco Chronicle.
