In 1979, the new owners added redwood siding, significantly changing the exterior appearance of the San Francisco home. <!-- -->They reportedly held onto the property for nearly five decades before McBride purchased it in 2019.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>San Francisco home offers Golden Gate Bridge views<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component iIpbx undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The San Francisco home where Gavin Newsom spent the first five years of his life has been transformed and listed for $4.5 million.\" msid=\"134465973\" imgsize=\"85310\" resizemode=\"4\" width=\"\" title=\"The San Francisco home where Gavin Newsom spent the first five years of his life has been transformed and listed for $4.5 million.

DiDomenico said the wooded surroundings make the outdoor space feel particularly secluded despite the property&#8217;s location within San Francisco.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/>The second lot is also buildable and contains a small finished cabin that McBride has been using as an artist\u2019s studio, providing additional potential for the property\u2019s next owner.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"50\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Gavin Newsom&#8217;s political profile adds interest to property<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The listing comes as Newsom remains a prominent figure in national Democratic politics and is widely discussed as a potential 2028 presidential candidate. He has also attracted national attention through public exchanges and social-media battles with President Donald Trump.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"53\"\/>For prospective buyers, however, the property&#8217;s combination of Gavin Newsom\u2019s childhood connection, Golden Gate Bridge views, privacy, substantial land and development potential is likely to be central to its appeal. The $4.5 million listing represents a significant increase from the $2.8 million McBride paid for the property in 2019.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/real-estate\/news\/built-in-1951-gavin-newsoms-san-francisco-childhood-home-listed-for-4-5-million-after-renovation-property-was-owned-by-his-maternal-grandfather-and-sold-by-family-in-the-1970s\/articleshow\/134465750.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gavin Newsom\u2019s San Francisco childhood home is on the market for $4.5 million, decades after his family sold the property.
