Grammy-winning guitarist and Bay Area icon Carlos Santana found a buyer for his four-bedroom Tiburon home.
Santana, who moved to San Francisco in the 1960s, bought the home in 2007 for $5.1 million, which is about $430,000 more than the $5.53 million the home just sold for, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The home, which features an “acoustical dome” in the foyer, did not undergo many renovations under the rockstar’s ownership, aside from adding electric blinds and putting an EV charging station in the garage.
The 3,785-square-foot home is nestled on a nearly one-acre lot located at the end of a cul de sac and boasts views of the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge
Other features of the home include a motor court and several decks and patios to take in the surrounding views.
Santana’s decision to sell the home doesn’t come as a surprise to many as the guitarist has been primarily residing in his Las Vegas home for the past nine years. He also purchased a vacation home in Hawaii for more than $20 million earlier this year.
The buyers have not been identified, but they were represented by Vanguard Properties.
Shana Rhode-Lynch — the listing agent for the property — said there has been “no shortage” of luxury home buyers looking for properties in Marin County and the Bay Area. She continued that the biggest draw for potential buyers has been the multitude of views of the Bay Area provided by the home.
Across the pond, another music star, Robbie Williams, and his wife, Ayda Fields, are trying to sell their home for 6.75 million pounds, or $9.2 million. The 72-acre property, which was owned by the royal family in the 1500s, features a manor house that replaced the original in the 1920s.
