Mansion by the Ocean: Sharon Stone’s stunning home

The Hollywood star chose a fashionable suburb of San Francisco.

Actress Sharon Stone is remembered primarily for the roles of femme fatales in Paul Verhoeven’s «Basic Instinct» and Martin Scorsese’s «Casino.» For both, by the way, she received a Golden Globe, the main overseas film award. Today, Sharon continues to act and is active in public activities. Changes husbands from time to time.

She bought this mansion with her then husband, the famous journalist Phil Bronstein. And she sold it when she decided to divorce him. But the couple has been quite happy here for a long time. The paradise nest near San Francisco was bought in 1998 for $ 6 million. Today it has been put up for sale again and they want 39 million (this is one of the most expensive lots in the vicinity). The place where Sharon’s house is located is Sea Cliff, an elite suburb of San Francisco. It stands on the coast, and from here you can enjoy magnificent views of the city and the famous Golden Bridge (there is also one in the actress’ house). The environment is decent: the neighbors of Hollywood stars are businessmen George Soros and Jack Dorsey (founder of Twitter), rocker Kirk Hammett (guitarist of Metallica) and others.

The Stone Mansion occupies a considerable area — more than 2,500 sq. m. There are 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms (measuring by American categories of real estate status assessment, 7 is a lot!). The villa in the Italian-Victorian style (as it is called in the booklet of the real estate agency) was built back in 1908 after a powerful earthquake that almost destroyed the then San Francisco. The Italian «ranch» was the first suburban housing here. It can be said that the glory of Sea Cliff began with this historic mansion. Of course, it has been modernized more than once, following the innovations of each subsequent era, but the vintage charm of the beginning of the century has also been preserved.

These are high ceilings, palace-sized doors, dark parquet floors, giant fireplaces. The obvious advantage of the mansion has always been the view windows — the ocean is at your feet. Spacious state rooms alternate with chamber rooms. So, the front dining room is followed by a cozy library with an armchair by the fireplace — for quiet autumn evenings. The kitchen through the dining room for a narrow family circle opens onto a spacious terrace with a view, and the master bedroom opens into two dressing rooms and bathrooms in the male and female half of the house. The upper floor of the house is reserved for a gym and guest rooms with very pretty balconies facing the courtyard. Here they are called «in the style of Juliet» — referring to the famous mansion in Verona with such a balcony, known as the House of Juliet.

The interior is designed in a traditional spirit. Asian sculptures and antiquities, which were already collected by the owners of the house following the actress, give it some exoticism.

The house is surrounded by a beautiful garden. And you can go down the secret staircase in the backyard to the beach. What kind of jogging should there be in the morning! They enter the territory using contactless keys. And, of course, everything is under guard.
