Elon Musk’s Last Remaining California Home Returns to Market With Price Increase to $37.5M

The Bay Area mansion of Tesla and SpaceX guiding spirit Elon Musk returned to the market for another go this June. The property was initially listed by Musk a little over a year ago. Its return comes with a boosted ask that reflects the borderline-delirious real estate market these days: it is currently priced at $37.5 million up from $35 million when it surfaced last year.

The 16,000 sq. ft. villa is the last of Musk’s many homes in California to sell. Last year, he self-listed a whole passel of ‘em, including a turnkey compound of four properties near the Bel Air Country Club that eventually sold piecemeal. Two other properties in the area had been listed previously. They, too, found new buyers.

The last house left is right smack dab in the middle of Silicon bedroom-community fantasy-land: Hillsborough. The 1916-built house features a potently symmetrical façade, making the first impression one of formality. Some of the details are extraordinary, including the living room ceiling—hipped, with custom millwork and dentil molding—and the contrasting marble floor and pedestal sink in one of the powder rooms.

The knockout is the kitchen. The period feel of the room has been preserved by way of an original bank of iceboxes now purposed as cabinets, a series of milk-glass pendant fixtures, subway-tiled walls, and a green tile floor. A pair of lengthy islands and an impressive stove area finishes the aspiring chef’s turnkey space.

The lot’s a deusey: 47 acres, apparently, and partially wooded, with lawns, a pool, walking trails, and a reflecting pond, and a meandering drive to get there.

Musk’s net worth is currently estimated at $151 billion by Forbes, making him the second-richest person in the world.
