Dianne Feinstein’s Pacific Heights Mansion Sells

The Pacific Heights home once owned by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein found a buyer.

The three-story, 9,500-square-foot Italianate mansion at 2460 Lyon Street sold for $19 million, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. The all-cash deal with an undisclosed buyer works out to about $2,000 per square foot.

Built in 1917, the home is located on the city’s famed Lyon Street steps and features gardens, bay views and proximity to the Presidio. Feinstein and her husband, the late financier Richard Blum, bought the house in 2006 for just over $16 million. Blum died in 2022 and Feinstein died in September 2023 at age 90.

The buyer was presumably based in New York, as the property was purchased with a limited liability company formed in the state last month, the Chronicle reported.

Feinstein and Blum held several homes in their portfolio before their deaths.

Feinstein’s home in Washington, D.C., hit the market last year for $8.5 million and sold in May for $6.5 million, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The couple owned vacation homes including the 36-acre Bear Paw Ranch in Aspen, Colorado, and a seven-bedroom property in Lake Tahoe. The Aspen ranch sold in 2023 for $25.2 million, down from a listing price of $29.9 million. The Lake Tahoe home sold in 2021 for $36 million.

Feinstein also had a mansion in Stinson Beach, north of San Francisco. That home was the subject of a legal dispute between Feinstein’s daughter and Michael Klein, a longtime business associate of Blum’s, following Blum’s death; it eventually sold for $9.1 million in December 2023. Feinstein and Blum also shared a Hawaiian escape on the island of Kauai.

The Pacific Heights mansion was reportedly inherited by Feinstein’s daughter Katherine Feinstein and Blum’s daughters. Katherine Feinstein, a former San Francisco judge, and Klein signed the sale documents as co-trustees.
