Geisha Williams, who was CEO of Pacific Gas and Electric from 2017 to 2019, has relisted her charming traditional-style home outside San Francisco for $4.8 million. The businesswoman has owned the property for over a decade; she purchased it in 2008, for $3.75 million. She listed it initially in April of last year with an asking price of $5.3 million.
The home’s exterior is warm, inviting, and unpretentious, allowing its setting to get most of the glory—that’s wise, as the views of the Bay from the artistically landscaped garden are knee-bucklingly beautiful. But it does work a graceful series of calligraphic eyebrow flourishes to its roofline, as well as a pair of chimneys, and its eves are extended in the Japanese style.
Within, the home is airy, inventive in design, and understated; ornament may be found in the narrow-plank oak floors, and the series of windows and French doors and their corresponding transoms. A wrap-around balcony traces the second floor.
The lot extends to nearly an acre, and borders the Ring Mountain Open Space. Blue stone patios and walkways augment the beauty of the spot and create plentiful opportunities for creative daydreaming when weather is favorable.
One of the more attractive homes on the market in Northern California.
