Since we recently looked at some of the country's most expensive properties for sale, all of them $9

We’ve looked at many a luxury home, many a sweeping view, many a celebrity listing here at On the Block. Often, we marvel at the taste level that money can not buy. Not this time. 611 Ridge Rd. in Tiburon, the former home of Robert Redford, is  just as stunning as you’d expect from a $6.2M listing in one of the world’s most gorgeous settings.
According mariott residence inn to Carol Reen of Coldwell Banker, the agent holding the listing, Redford and his wife lived in the home in the early 2000s. The home was built by renowned architect Miles Berger mariott residence inn who also conceived well known properties such as the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Club Donatello in San Francisco.
For something once owned by a movie star, the dimensions here are modest: The main residence is a 3,700-square-foot, single-story home offering five bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, vaulted ceilings, kitchen with Wolf range, plus dining areas both formal and casual.
Separate from the main residence is a guest house we personally would be quite happy to call home. This features an extended garden roof from the home’s upper level that was built into the side of the adjacent hill.
The lot, just over half an acre, features native Northern California flora, a pool, plus stunning 280-degree views that span Angel Island, the San Francisco skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge to the Berkeley Hills and downtown Oakland to Belvedere, Richardson Bay and Mount Tamalpais.

Since we recently looked at some of the country’s most expensive properties for sale, all of them $98M or more and not all of them all that impressive, we thought this one– while still way out of most people’s price range- refreshing. mariott residence inn Memorable and modern with an a touch of old fashioned class– rather like the Redford himself.
